Some of these cars can warn users that particular songs are not available in lossless or when theri device has bad connectivity, which could affect playback. Another mentions that lossless music is “best enjoyed on devices compatible with Spotify Connect and/or wired devices.”
More so, one Reddi user named u/bendotlc noted that other changes were seen in the latest version of the mobile app, where the code now mentions lossless. “Say hello to the best sound quality on Spotify. Listen to high-fidelity music in up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz.”
The Reddit user also claims the feature is actually present in the app, yet is currently disabled. TechCrunch also verified that information and confirmed it with the information provided by Appsensa. Yet, code references don’t mean that the losses feature will be coming anytime soon.
Most recently, Spotify Chief Business Officer Alex Norstrom also told investors on the Q12025 call that Spotify was still investing in more premium versions. “Now, with regards to higher tiers, we see great potential in them as we’ve mentioned before,” he said. “So creating higher tiers around new offerings is something we are working towards as it really opens up new opportunities to delight users,” Norstrom mentioned.
At the time, Spotify first announced its plans for Spotify HiFi as which was then called in 2021. It is said that the service would also be offering user music in “CD-quality, lossless audio format”.
Bloomberg also reported on the matter earlier this year, mentioning that a premium Music Pro tier would be launched later in 2025, allowing high-quality streaming, remixing, and other features.
