My first impression was a ten year old Josh Widdicombe lookalike

if you do not look at the technical side i would strongly recommend viewing at least the last minutes. even when surrounded from adults who can make their own decisions which service they use. keep eyes closed.
A few people in the video comments compliment him on having lost weight, but I still think Josh wouldn’t thank you for the comparisonMy first impression was a ten year old Josh Widdicombe lookalike

just received this screenshot from a friend. she has a premium account. what will happen when 1gb is reached? pay per minute?
Doesn't that mean up to 1gb of data per hour?

no idea. she is here for 'konditoring' with my wife only 
and i took the chance to ask her. she is not interested in lossless. so it will never be an issue for her.

THIS TIME my post with the screenshot was not meant as another con for spotify. it is curiosity only.

I just got the lossless option too here in Germany! I didn't get a notification or anything, but I just checked the options and there it was. First it was greyed out for Spotify Connect through my WiiM Pro and I had to reboot. Now it works fine. It feels a bit like Christmas, doesn't it?

to make that clear. again. my aversion for sp. has nothing to do with sound quality!
Lossless arrived for me this morningHave since been playing around and it does sound very good. However, if I look on the windows app for Wiim, the bitrates are always exactly the same, as per this screenshot
When I had Tidal for awhile some songs were up to about 5,000 kbps! I also play FLAC files from my Brennan B2, they always come up with their own bitrates, which are higher than Spotifys.
Just wondered if anyone has bitrate above 700 kbps on their setup?
listening to Alabama3, aint going to goa just now, sounds great! So i'm happy.

Wiim responded re the 700kbps figure: "The 700 kbps value is obtained from the Spotify eSDK. While we considered calculating the bitrate based on file size and duration, Spotify officially recommends not displaying the bitrate. This is why the WiiM app does not display it.Lossless arrived for me this morning

In the future, it’s possible that bitrate information will not be shown on the screen when playing Spotify."
Indeed, the bitrate has been removed from the mobile app for lossless in line with what was previously done for Spotify lossy. This is in line with what they do with Chromecast - rather than display erroneous info like that 700kbps, they prefer (Spotify eSDK aside) to not display it at all. I'd therefore ignore what the Windows app says.
