Spotify HiFi is coming, finally
A report suggests the Apple Music lossless launch spoiled Spotify’s HiFi plans, however a Spotify govt has confirmed the brand new tier remains to be coming finally.
The report was generated primarily based on an interview with Spotify co-president Gustav Soderstrom carried out by Decoder and extra info obtained by The Verge. The interview touched on the HiFi tier briefly, however no launch dates or different info was offered.
“We introduced it, however then the business modified for a bunch of causes,” Soderstrom advised Decoder. “We’re going to do it, however we’ll do it in a means the place it is smart for us and for our listeners. The business modified and we needed to adapt.”
The interviewer pressed for extra particulars as to why the tier was delayed, however Soderstrom would not particularly point out rivals or offers with labels. The report generated after states Apple Music’s lossless introduction at no further price spoiled Spotify’s plans — although Soderstrom didn’t say so immediately.
Allegedly, Spotify had hoped to supply lossless music at the next paid tier and should still. This tier can be a income driver and will provide much more performance, like spatial audio.
