Spotify Prepares High-Cost Deluxe Tier with Hi-Fi Audio

CEO Daniel Ek confirms upcoming subscription plan offering enhanced audio quality and additional features, priced significantly higher than current Premium tier.

The deluxe plan will cost around $17-$18 per month, approximately $5 more than Spotify Premium.
Features include high-fidelity audio and potentially AI-generated playlists and advanced library management.
Spotify has been developing this hi-fi tier since 2021, but it remains in the early stages of rollout.
Competitors like Apple Music and Amazon Music offer lossless audio at no extra cost to subscribers.
Spotify's user base has grown to 246 million paid subscribers, with significant interest in higher-quality audio options.
