As far as I know, the company didn’t explicitly say that there would be a price bump, but it was described as an “add-on” the language suggested as much: When Spotify announced its HiFi tier, it seemed all but certain it would come with a higher price tag than its Premium tier. But from where I’m standing, those dots aren’t too hard to connect. I’m not sourcing any insider knowledge, just connecting the dots. Unless Spotify is being coy, “in the future” isn’t likely to mean “soon.” We reached out to Spotify for comment on this update but had not heard back by the time of publication.įirst things first, I want to make clear that this entire article is speculation and opinion, and there’s every possibility I could be flat out wrong. In other words, the feature will launch eventually, but the fact that Spotify isn’t even able to provide a rough timeline for arguably its most anticipated feature doesn’t look good. Instead, Spotify provided an update on its community forums that suggests HiFi i isn’t close to launching. But Spotify says that higher-quality streaming has been one of the top requests from its customers for quite some time.At the time, Spotify said that HiFi would launch “later this year” and that it would have “more details to share soon.” Yet we’ve started a whole new year, and Spotify HiFi is still nowhere to be seen.Ī few days ago, the company made one of its first comments about lossless since its original announcement.
Spotify has not said what the price will be for Spotify HiFi, that is also coming soon. Which is currently priced at $9.99 per month. But the feature is now going to roll out more widely, and likely cost more than the regular Premium tier. This isn’t the first time that Spotify has talked about high-quality streaming. According to the company, Spotify HiFi will “deliver music in CD-quality, lossless audio format to your device and Spotify Connect-enabled speakers, which means fans will be able to experience more depth and clarity while enjoying their favorite tracks.” The announcement came today at its “Stream On” virtual event. Amazon Music HD costs $14.99 per month ($12.99 for Prime members). It’s basically going to compete directly with Amazon Music HD, which has been around for a few years already. Spotify HiFi is coming later this year, which is going to be a new tier in its service that will stream lossless audio.
