Spotify HiFi is coming, ultimately
A report suggests the Apple Music lossless launch spoiled Spotify’s HiFi plans, however a Spotify government has confirmed the brand new tier continues to be coming ultimately.
The report was generated primarily based on an interview with Spotify co-president Gustav Soderstrom performed 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 instructed Decoder. “We’re going to do it, however we will do it in a method the place it is sensible 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 extra 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 could be a income driver and will provide much more performance, like spatial audio.
