Spotify also explained that “HiFi will be coupled with Spotify’s seamless user experience, building on our commitment to make sure users can listen to the music they love in the way they want to enjoy it.” So familiar features like personalized playlists, offline playback and easy music sharing could all carry over to Spotify HiFi. Still, given the enormity of this library, it’s probably a good bet that Spotify HiFi will eventually end up with a catalog of lossless songs that could rival the more established Amazon Music HD and Tidal. And not every song currently in Spotify’s library will be available in HD format.

So this announcement is likely to go down well with the more audiophiliac portions of the service’s massive user base, even if pricing and release date details remain unknown.Īs with Amazon Music HD, it seems that Spotify HiFi will require a separate, likely more expensive subscription to the existing $10-per-month Premium tier. It has been notably absent from Spotify’s toolbox until now.
