If Spotify goes ahead with its plan to present its OGG files (which are currently capped at a bitrate of 320kbps, even if you select 'very high' quality) but in 16-bit/44.1kHz CD-quality for £10 ($10) per month or potentially more, buyers are certainly likely to notice the discrepancy – even if said streams are compatible with Spotify Connect, as is promised. Amazon Music HD can get you 24-bit/192kHz FLAC streams for the same money, or £8 ($8) per month if you're a Prime member. In short: coin – both what Spotify stands to gain and what its subscribers will now be willing (or unwilling) to part with.Īpple Music now offers its ALAC 24-bit/192kHz hi-res files for £10 ($10) per month. Why I think Spotify HiFi isn't coming this year I'm prepared to go on record and say that I think Spotify wasn't prepared for any of this, and that it will struggle to meet the demand for a HiFi tier that doesn't come at a premium. Did I mention that Tidal, our top choice when it comes to streaming services, recently introduced a free tier in the US? In fact, although Spotify claims "high-quality music streaming" has consistently been one of its users' most requested new features, it remains tight-lipped about its HiFi tier's price, device compatibility, territories and launch dates as we come to the end of play on 2021.
