Spotify Spotify Lossless is here, it's official!

[Mr Ee]

I’m disappointed Spotify Lossless lags behind Tidal and Apple Music, but you probably don’t need to be

Why the hi-res quality Spotify now offers is more than adequate for the majority

"Essentially, the higher the number of both [bit depth, sample rate], the higher the audio quality."
Sigh.
Yet again, someone who doesn't actually understand digital audio yet presents such statements as fact.

Edit: and then I read to the end of the article, saw who wrote it and wasn't surprised...

Typical What Hifi. They seem confused by "bit rate" and " bit depth"

All working well.. Spotify kept their promise.
Testing it today again.. Excellent.

FYI

Massive Attack remove music from Spotify to protest against CEO Daniel Ek’s investment in AI military

The band cited a ‘moral and ethical burden’ placed on artists by revenue from their work ultimately funding lethal technologies

I bet Helsing aren't the only company working on AI for defence

Hi,

I only have Amazon music, but I can't hear any difference. Sorry, I don't do a lot of comparisons so I can't help you..

Anyway, Spotify is the most comfortable app for me, so I feel good.

Thanks for coming to JP.
Please come back again someday

I already had Amazon Music and except for the interface, the sound quality is comparable to Qobuz/Tidal. So thank you very much, this already helps me.

I hope to return to Japan, I miss the kindness and respect of the people and kombini (or how the Japanese improved what belonged to the Americans before). I am happy that Couche Tard (company where I come from Quebec) is not acquired 7eleven

That 7eleven is not bought by Couche Tard. Glad 7eleven remains Japanese. (Sorry google translate)

Honestly, this is the one controversial sentence I'd carry about the least, because it is generally correct. It just doesn't matter here.

There's so much more BS to be found in this article (like CD quality is adequate for listening on your phone, how generous!), I won't waste any more of my lifetime on it.

As has been mentioned before, in order to comply with Spotify Connect’s eSDK UI guidelines WiiM devices don’t/shouldn’t display the bitrate.

Almost seems that Spotify is acting like they have something to hide...

I have had 3 updates to spotify Android in the last 2 weeks!
I am now on version no. 9.0.82.1032
I still have no lossless option, despite restarting my phone and logging out and back in!
Does anyone with this version number have lossless?? maybe I am doing something wrong?

 

[Burnside]

I’m on that Android version too but till no sign of lossless. Think it’s even slower than a WiiM rollout

It's not the app version number, but the enablement of the user - it's done centrally. You have already the capability, just turned off.

 

[Skull]

Well I am getting an email every day to update my payment settings but I have never subscribed sigh
Hopefully the hype will die down soon and the scammers will find something else

So, it is almost random as to when you are enabled?

 

[Deleted member 24058]

[azoriusmage]

They have clearly said it is random

Strangely, it's available for me (android) but not for my daughter (iPhone) who is on my family account.
