"How lossless music works on Spotify This particular format shrugs off compression to deliver a higher-level audio quality, which means users will hear CD-quality music. In other words, lossless music retains all of the original data from a recording to provide higher-quality sound compared to lossy formats, such as MP3. Apple and Amazon Music have offered lossless for some time, and now it's Spotify's turn."
"Lossless playback requires a paid plan, and those users will be notified when the feature is available to them. Once lossless is available, users will have to manually enable the feature for all of their devices, both desktop and mobile. To enable it on the mobile app, go to Settings & Privacy > Media Quality and select Lossless. If you don't see Lossless in Media Quality, it means the feature has yet to reach your account. Give it time, and Spotify will notify you"
Spotify originally teased a hi-fi tier in 2021 but licensing issues delayed the plan. The service will introduce 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC-level lossless streaming that preserves all original recording data for CD-quality audio, unlike lossy formats such as MP3. Apple and Amazon Music previously offered lossless options. The feature is rolling out to users in over 50 countries through October, with subscribers in Australia, Austria, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Portugal, Sweden, the US, and the UK already having access. Lossless playback requires a paid plan and must be enabled manually on each device via Media Quality settings.
