As revealed by recent code investigations within Spotify‘s desktop, online, and iOS beta apps, the much awaited lossless audio streaming capability is about to be launched. Referring to ‘lossless music,’ these code snippets promise an audio quality improvement reaching up to 24-bit/44. 1 kHz, a considerable improvement over the present 320 kbps compressed streams. Originally revealed as ‘Spotify HiFi’ in 2021, this service has seen several delays across the course of the last four years.
Having formerly used internal labels such HiFi, Supremium, and Deluxe tomsguide.com, Spotify appears to be rebranding this functionality under the name Music Pro. Reports from Bloomberg and The Verge say that this Music Pro tier is slated to debut in late 2025, for an additional monthly charge of $5–6 on top of the customary Premium package.
In addition to this, the code implies that lossless playback will concentrate on guaranteeing compatibility with wired setups and Spotify Connect devices since Bluetooth technology cannot support the whole lossless quality. The application may also include help prompts for device compatibility and connection stability, instruments meant to enable consumers to completely appreciate the high-resolution experience.
Although there is no official revelation about the release dates or any information about pricing from Spotify’s side, internal references do point towards an imminent launch. Industry analysts note recent signed licensing arrangements with major labels like Warner and Universal as possible markers for this launch.
With Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, and Tidal already offering lossless streaming options, some even providing high-resolution formats, often at pricing that is equal to or lower than what Spotify is expected to charge, the competitive scene is getting more intense. Spotify might improve its premium service by including lossless music with more benefits, such as artificial intelligence (AI) features, to keep up its competitive edge.
