In a recent exploration of Spotify's potential, Alan Cross posits that the streaming giant, while dominant in user numbers, is lacking in sound quality compared to competitors like Apple Music and Tidal, which offer high-resolution audio. Cross suggests that the inclusion of high-fidelity streaming is likely on the horizon for Spotify. In a separate discussion, Steve Goldstein emphasizes the significant opportunity presented by local podcasting, particularly with the fusion of audio and video formats, suggesting a rise in localized content offerings. Lastly, Jen Poyant's new role at The New York Times signifies an increasing focus on audio content within the news industry.
Spotify may be the biggest music streamer in the world, but they are objectively the worst-sounding. High-res streams would align them with competitors like Apple Music.
Local is the next big opportunity in podcasting - local audio AND local video. This blend could provide entirely new offerings at the local level.
