It’s been a long time coming but Spotify is finally getting lossless audio. Rumors have been circulating about a high-fidelity offering since as early as 2017. In 2021, Spotify claimed it was “coming later this year.” And by May of 2024 it was “almost ready.” So, when rumors started picking up again in June of this year, they were met with skepticism, especially amid announcements over the launch of features nobody was asking for, like direct messaging.
Well, it’s here. For real. And there’s some good news — Lossless won’t be confined to a new higher-priced tier. There’s no new Spotify HiFi membership or Music Pro subscription. Instead lossless audio will be rolling out to all Premium subscribers in 50 markets (starting with Australia, Austria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, the US, and the UK) over the next two months.

Middle out technique?!
airpods pro 3 should have on device processor so it could stream lossless audio.
