Being managed by Google cloud, it already is covered to the highest standard. I do have some suspicion if the delay is because they intend to simply re-write the entire program and apps from the ground up in preparation for a new platform-image direction rather than simply update them with the functionality.īecause of the already available formats and format requirements are negligible, the issue you raised is mostly logistic, with price of streaming and storage infrastructure being the dominant factor. It only needs to add a format standard to the player that has existed for 3 decades in order to make the switch. Even through local files, admittedly, only MP3 is supported currently, however the ability to play additional formats wouldn't be difficult to introduce because hey, its 2021. What really matters is mentioned in a comment somewhere in this thread, and that is in the platform - what formats and quality range they actively support. They have announced it today on their StreamOn online conference. Spotify even take (thus already hold) upwards of FLAC as a baseline through direct uploads, and if higher qualities are not submitted, then only the highest resolution formats are available on the music services. Spotify Finally Coming to Kenya, Spotify HiFi Coming Later in the Year By Kiruti Itimu - Febru2 Spotify has announced that they are planning to launch in over 80 new markets in the next few days which includes Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan and more. File submissions are for the largest part dealt with via large labels and/or aggregate services, which already hold all of these files that already are used for practically every other service. Obviously, ‘select markets’ rarely includes the southern-most part of Africa, but here’s to hoping it brings its CD-quality option to South Africa.I'd argue far from impossible. “Premium subscribers in select markets will be able to upgrade their sound quality to Spotify HiFi and listen to their favorite songs the way artists intended,” the music streaming service said in its announcement. That’s essentially CD-quality audio blasted from your Spotify app.

It’s basically going to compete directly. The most enticing announcement of which was the addition of its HiFi subscription tier that will provide listeners with pure lossless audio. FebruAdvertisement Spotify HiFi is coming later this year, which is going to be a new tier in its service that will stream lossless audio. It highlighted some of its most prominent creators, musicians and podcasters. Spotify hosted its first all-around update and announcement event called Stream On yesterday. This week, Spotify announced Spotify HiFi. What these people are after, is lossless, high-quality audio that was only supported on Tidal and Amazon Music up until now. They fawn over vinyl records and collect speakers larger than most people’s bed side-tables: they’re called audio geeks.

When is spotify hifi coming
