Revamped Revelations: Spotify's Long-Awaited Lossless Audio Approaching Reality?
Anticipation buildup: Spotify potentially on the verge of unveiling its much coveted feature imminently
Get ready, audiophiles! The wait for Spotify's coveted lossless audio feature might be over sooner than you think. Recent revelations hint at an imminent unveiling, bringing a new wave of excitement among users.
The latest updates on the desktop app have sparked fresh speculation, as evidenced by findings of a lossless profile within the code. A user on Twitter even shared an image showcasing a 'Lossless 24-bit' quality option, demonstrating the potential for superior streaming and downloading experiences [1][2].
Interestingly, the app indicates that up to 1GB of data may be used hourly, which is a significant leap from previous settings. While this might pose challenges for some devices, it's a promising sign for those craving high-quality audio [1][2].
The wait for lossless audio on Spotify has been a lengthy one. Initial discussions about a lossless hi-fi mode date back to 2021, and numerous rumored launches have kept hopes high and then dashed again [1]. The major obstacles include rival platforms like Apple Music and Amazon Music offering lossless tiers, seemingly stealing the limelight from Spotify [1].
However, it's essential to remain cautious. While the discovered code does look authentic, the history of leaked information in the industry encourages a certain level of skepticism until an official announcement is made. As of yet, there's no pricing information available [1].
If Spotify manages to deliver a lossless audio product, it would mark a significant milestone for the brand, coming, albeit belatedly, to address one of the long-standing demands from its user base [1].
