Spotify finally launches HD lossless audio for Premium subscribers2025-09-10 18:29 by DanielaTags: Spotify
Lossless audio, a format that Spotify says has been much-requested by subscribers over the years, is finally arriving on the streaming service. In a post, the company says that 24-bit/44.1kHz FLAC audio will now be an option for premium subscribers in select markets "across nearly every song available in Spotify." Subscribers will have the option to adjust music quality as low, normal, high, very high and now lossless, with the option to see how much data each tier requires. While audio formats such as MP3 or AAC use varying degrees of compression to reduce file sizes - which means you don't get the full depth and range of the music - lossless formats including FLAC and Apple's ALAC preserve the original data from a song without any quality loss. In addition to working in Spotify's apps, the company says, lossless audio will be available on some Spotify Connect devices from Sony, Bose, Samsung, Sennheiser and other manufacturers. It plans to add support for Sonos and Amazon audio devices next month, according to the post. The lossless feature has been a missing component on the service, which launched in 2008 and became available in the US in 2011. Some of its audio-streaming competitors added lossless before Spotify.
