More recently, Tidal has revised its offers and now offers CD quality from the classic subscription. In the wake of Apple, Amazon announced that its Music HD offer would be integrated into the basic offer. Last June, the Cupertino company announced the arrival of quality “Lossless” on its entire catalog, at no additional cost for users, so from the basic subscription to 9.99 euros per month. If Spotify was the first to promise the arrival of this function – then available at an additional cost from Deezer, Amazon and Tidal – the Swedish firm has had its hair cut to the pole by an unexpected competitor: Apple Music. It must be said that 2021 was a turbulent year in the field of lossless files for music streaming services. A launch that no longer takes place after Apple Music Lossless It remains to be seen why this postponement. This communication from Spotify comes a few days before the death knell of 2021 and it therefore seems that the service will not be available until next year. We agree and look forward to bringing the Spotify HiFi experience to our premium users in the future, but we don’t have more details to share. Golem has indeed obtained a response from the Swedish service regarding the lack of availability of this feature, yet promised with a lot of video with singer Billie Eilish:Īrtists and fans have told us that Spotify HiFi is important to them. Finally, it is the German site Golem which answers: “The launch of Spotify HiFi has been postponed indefinitely”. Logical, since the project was discreetly put under the carpet.Ī few days ago, the American site The Verge was worried about this lack of a feature yet promised last February: “Where’s Spotify HiFi?” “. As the year draws to a close, it was still radio silence at the Swedish firm. This was to make it possible, at an additional cost, to enjoy audio files in CD quality (16 bits, 44.1 kHz).

At the start of the year, Spotify hit a big blow by announcing one of its major projects for 2021, the arrival of a Spotify HiFi formula.
