SPOTIFY HIFI 2024 : UNVEILING THE REALITY

Leave a Comment / Blog / By Junette Kearns

In a world where music is an integral part of our lives, the demand for
high-quality audio streaming experiences has been steadily rising. As we venture
into 2024, Spotify, one of the leading music streaming platforms, is set to
revolutionize the industry with its much-anticipated Spotify HiFi.


THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT SPOTIFY HIFI 2024

GET SPOTIFY FREE
 * Spotify HiFi, announced in February 2021, is an upgrade for Premium users to
   enhance sound quality.
 * The upgrade offers a “CD-quality, lossless audio format,” implying 16-bit
   depth and a 44.1kHz sampling rate.
 * The term “lossless” is crucial, ensuring the audio stream retains all the
   original sonic details from the source.
 * Spotify’s current standard is 320Kbps audio in the “lossy” Ogg Vorbis format,
   which involves compression and loss of detail for bandwidth efficiency.
 * The main appeal is that listeners experience music exactly as intended by
   artists, as highlighted in a video featuring Billie Eilish and Finneas
   praising the virtues of lossless audio streaming.


SPOTIFY HIFI RELEASING DATE NEWS, PRICE AND QUALITY


 * Spotify HiFi, the long-anticipated CD-quality streaming service, was
   announced over two years ago and promised to launch in 2021, but there have
   been delays.
 * Despite the delay, Spotify confirmed that it is still coming and might be
   called Spotify Supremium.
 * When launched, Spotify HiFi will allow Premium subscribers to upgrade for
   higher-quality, lossless audio streams through Spotify Connect.
 * There are rumors that HiFi streaming could be part of a ‘Platinum’ or
   ‘Supremium’ service with additional features like playlists, podcasts, and
   usability.
 * “High-quality music streaming” has been a top user request for Spotify,
   leading to the anticipation of Spotify HiFi since its teaser in 2017.
 * Despite leaked videos offering a glimpse, specific details such as price,
   launch date, and device compatibility are yet to be disclosed by Spotify.
 * Questions arise on how Spotify HiFi will compete with existing lossless audio
   services like Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music HD, and Apple Music.
 * Apple and Amazon already offer lossless streaming at no extra charge, raising
   questions about Spotify’s strategy in this competitive landscape.
 * A recent leak has provided some information, but the complete picture of
   Spotify HiFi, including pricing and compatibility, remains unclear.


WHAT HAS SPOTIFY HIFI ANNOUNCED IN 2024?


Introducing DJ – an entirely new way to play your Spotify, powered by AI. Now
rolling out to Premium users in the US and Canada. Head to Spotify now to meet
your DJ. #SpotifyDJ



 * Speculation about Spotify HiFi announcement at Stream On event on March 8.
 * Instead, presentation focused on creator tools, user features, and new
   programming.
 * Introduction of a TikTok-inspired scrollable layout and additional Spotify
   exclusive podcasts.
 * Official launch of the AI DJ app in the UK and Ireland.
 * AI DJ app adds an MC, blends, and algorithmic personalization’s to playlists.
 * Xavier ‘X’ Jernigan’s voice recommends songs and provides trivia on favorite
   artists.
 * These features expected to be available for Spotify HiFi users.


WHAT IS ‘SUPREMIUM’?



In September 2023, a Reddit user with the handle u/Hypixely uncovered
information within the code of the Spotify app regarding a new tier called
‘Supremium‘. The code findings appear to validate numerous speculations
regarding Spotify HiFi, mentioning features such as 24-bit lossless music,
AI-generated playlists, and advanced mixing tools.



Subsequently, additional information about the Supremium tier has surfaced
through a Threads post by writer Chris Messina, potentially including the
unveiling of a logo.




WHY SPOTIFY HIFI DELAY ?

 * Spotify HiFi, promised in February 2021, faced delays in its launch timeline.
 * Despite hopes for a 2021 release, as of the end of 2023, Spotify HiFi is
   still not available.
 * In January 2022, acknowledged the importance of HiFi quality audio, but
   provided no specific launch details.
 * CEO Daniel Ek cited licensing negotiations and ongoing dialogue with music
   labels as reasons for the delay in an earnings call in February 2022.
 * A leaked video and a HiFi icon spotted on the iOS app raised expectations,
   but no official launch occurred.
 * A Reddit user claimed to receive a survey mentioning a hypothetical premium
   tier named Spotify Platinum with features like ‘HiFi’ for $19.99/month.
 * Reports suggest Spotify might be considering a ‘Supremium’ tier with
   higher-quality audio and expanded audiobook access.
 * Spotify co-president Gustav Soderstrum confirmed the plan to offer lossless
   audio but didn’t provide a specific timeline.
 * Technologically ready for over a year, Spotify HiFi’s release is reportedly
   delayed due to economic considerations.
 * The release is expected to be in multiple markets, with the US and Europe
   likely to be prioritized.
 * The release date may vary based on the device, with newer Connect-enabled
   devices potentially getting the HiFi upgrade first.


PRICE PREDICTIONS FOR SPOTIFY HIFI


 * Several competitors in the music streaming industry already provide
   CD-quality subscription tiers priced around £11 / $11 / AU$13 per month.
 * Apple’s lossless CD-quality and hi-res tier is included free for all Apple
   Music subscribers at the standard subscription price.
 * Tidal has integrated CD-quality lossless quality into its standard plan,
   matching the price, with its hi-res tier being one of the more expensive
   options.
 * Despite Spotify’s popularity and existing subscriber base, the success may
   hinge on its pricing strategy.
 * It has not disclosed the monthly fee for its HiFi service, but recent price
   hikes suggest stakeholders may want increased revenue, potentially
   facilitated by a pricier tier.
 * Amazon Music HD, previously priced at £13 / $13 for Prime members and £15 /
   $15 for non-Prime members, lowered its cost to £8 / $8 per month for Prime
   members and £10 / $10 for others.
 * It might consider matching or undercutting this price to remain competitive,
   especially since both Amazon and Apple offer hi-res streams, a feature not
   confirmed for Spotify HiFi.
 * However, considering Spotify’s dominance in the music streaming market, it
   may choose not to engage in a price war with Amazon.
 * Analysts anticipate Spotify HiFi to be priced between £15 / $15 / AU$20 and
   £20 / $20 / AU$25, with a hypothetical premium tier called ‘Spotify Platinum’
   mentioned in a customer survey and source code leak suggesting a potential
   $20 per month cost.


FREE TRIAL OF SPOTIFY HIFI


 * Spotify is likely to introduce a free trial for Spotify HiFi in 2024.
 * The trial is expected to be available for both existing Spotify Premium users
   seeking to upgrade and new users who may have hesitated due to the service’s
   lack of higher-quality audio.
 * Users accustomed to high-quality audio from competitors like Tidal and Amazon
   HD may need convincing to switch to Spotify.
 * Currently, Spotify offers a 1-month free trial for Spotify Premium, while
   Amazon Music HD recently provided new subscribers with a 3-month free trial.
 * Tidal offers a 30-day free trial, and Deezer entices visitors to its website
   with a 1-month free trial.
 * Stay tuned to this page for updates, as we will notify you if/when news of
   free trial becomes available.

      competitive bar.
 4. Hi-Res Audio Commitment:

 2. Bluetooth aptX and aptX HD Support:
    * Bluetooth aptX and aptX HD can also stream in CD-quality.

      the source (e.g., Spotify app and phone) and the receiver (e.g., Bluetooth
      speaker or wireless headphones).
 3. Spotify Connect Details:
    * Specifics about Spotify Connect compatibility with Spotify HiFi are
      pending disclosure.
    * Presumably, Spotify HiFi subscribers will easily play high-quality streams
      between their phone (iOS and Android apps) or computer (desktop app or web

      available in the market.
 4. Wide Support for Spotify Connect:

   million songs.”
 * However, details regarding the number of tracks available in CD-quality to
   HiFi subscribers remain undisclosed by the company.
 * While specific information on the lossless CD-quality song selection is
   awaited, it is anticipated to be in the tens of millions, a figure likely to
   be shared with industry competitors.
 * For context, Qobuz boasts the “biggest catalogue of CD-quality lossless and
   Hi-Res albums globally” with 60 million songs, and Amazon Music HD claims to
   offer “60 million songs in HD.”

   CD-quality streams.
