Spotify’s Lossless Music Pro Upgrade: Potential Arrival of High-Quality Audio
"Spotify's Next Big Move: Anticipating Major Features with the Lingering Question of Timing"
Is lossless streaming finally making its debut on Spotify? Amidst the twists and turns of this ongoing saga, there’s a newfound optimism. Recent code snippets within Spotify for Android suggest the potential arrival of the long-awaited lossless audio feature.
Three years ago, it was dubbed “Spotify HiFi” and later speculated to be part of a premium “Supremium” subscription tier. However, Spotify appears to have altered its strategy once again. The code hints at lossless audio becoming an optional add-on named “Music Pro,” bundled with DJ remix features discussed earlier by colleague Jess Weatherbed. This add-on won’t be a separate plan but an enhancement to existing Spotify Premium subscriptions, albeit at an undisclosed price.

Credit goes to Reddit user Hypixely for diligently dissecting the code to decipher Spotify’s intentions. Direct mentions of lossless audio are evident, with support for FLAC files up to “24-bit/44.1kHz.” Additionally, Spotify plans to introduce headphone optimization utilizing patented technology, targeting specific models like Apple’s AirPods, as indicated in the code. Hypixely speculates that Music Pro may also offer advanced library filtering options (by mood, genre, etc.). While Spotify continues to explore AI-driven playlists, it remains uncertain if these will be part of the Music Pro add-on.
Spotify provides a glimpse into some of these discoveries.
