Spotify has announced that Spotify HiFi will be available later this year and “will deliver music in CD-quality, lossless audio format to your device and Spotify Connect-enabled speakers, which means fans will be able to experience more depth and clarity while enjoying their favourite tracks”.
Spotify has pulled out the big guns for the launch video, with Billie Eilish and Finneas speaking about the importance of high-quality audio options for creators and fans.
“Artists and fans have told us that sound quality is important to them. We agree, and that’s why we announced Spotify HiFi,” said Spotify.
Beginning later this year, Premium subscribers in select markets will be able to upgrade their sound quality to Spotify HiFi and listen to their favorite songs “the way artists intended”.
Spotify noted that high-quality music streaming is consistently one of the most requested new features by its users.
Spotify HiFi will deliver music in CD-quality, lossless audio format to a device and Spotify Connect-enabled speakers, which means fans will be able to experience more depth and clarity while enjoying their favourite tracks.
Spotify says that ubiquity is at the core of everything the company does, and that it is working with some of the world’s biggest speaker manufacturers to make Spotify HiFi accessible to as many fans as possible through Spotify Connect.
HiFi will be coupled with Spotify’s user experience, and will begin rolling out in select markets later this year, with more details coming soon.
