Spotify Reportedly Developing $6 'Music Pro' Tier With HiFi Audio and AI Tools
The anticipated premium tier is expected to include lossless audio, AI-powered remixing features, and exclusive concert ticket access, but its launch remains unconfirmed.
- Spotify's long-awaited HiFi audio offering may arrive later this year as part of a 'Music Pro' tier priced at around $6 per month on top of existing subscriptions.
- The new tier is expected to feature lossless audio streaming, AI-powered remixing tools, and exclusive benefits like concert ticket presales and premium seating options.
- While Spotify has secured licensing agreements with Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group, it is still negotiating with other major labels, which could impact the rollout timeline.
- The company reportedly plans to test and introduce 'Music Pro' features in phases, with regional pricing variations to make the service accessible in developing markets.
- Competitors like Apple Music and Amazon Music already offer lossless audio at no extra cost, pushing Spotify to bundle additional features to justify the premium price.
