TL;DR
- Spotify’s long-awaited lossless audio tier is now gradually rolling out to Premium subscribers.
- The feature, simply called Lossless, streams in up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC.
- It is recommended to stream lossless music on Wi-Fi using either wired headphones or speakers on a non-Bluetooth connection.
Spotify announced its “HiFi” lossless tier in February 2021, but the feature never arrived — until now. Literally years after the first announcement, Spotify is finally rolling out Lossless on Spotify Premium.
Spotify says Premium subscribers will receive a notification within the app once Lossless becomes available to them. With Lossless, Premium subscribers can now stream tracks in up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC, unlocking greater detail across nearly every song available on Spotify.
