An average lossless song can be five to ten times bigger than a 320kbps song. It’s like songs are copied from a CD to your hard drive and then “zipped” to reduce the file size. They are then compressed, but without any quality loss. Lossless files are perfect copies of the songs on an audio CD. This way, files are still quite small and load quickly. It’s very high quality, but it’s not perfect - in other words, it’s a compromise. What is lossless quality anyway? Currently, if you go into Spotify’s settings and choose the highest quality, Spotify serves you 320kbps audio files. The company is still experimenting with those optional features. It would include everything in Spotify Premium as well as a couple of optional features, such as a free vinyl, discounts on vinyls and concert tickets. Once Spotify figures out the most lucrative price, the company will probably settle on one of those three prices. Spotify is just doing some A/B testing with different prices and feature sets.Īccording to comments on Reddit, the option could cost $5, $7.50 or $10 per month. It looks like the feature isn’t available to everyone just yet. There are also tweets and Reddit threads about the new feature so it’s a lot of smoke. The Verge first spotted that the company has been doing tests on its mobile app. There could also be a couple of new features. For an extra $5 to $10, you could get all the features in Spotify Premium as well as lossless high fidelity streaming. Spotify is thinking about introducing a new paid option in addition to the existing Spotify Premium subscription called Spotify Hi-Fi.
