Overview

• The rollout began September 10 in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Japan, Sweden, Netherlands, Portugal, Austria, Czechia, Denmark and New Zealand, with broader availability planned by October.
• Spotify presents lossless as part of Premium and will notify users in the app, requiring manual activation per device for Wi‑Fi, cellular and downloads, though some coverage notes conflicting information about pricing.
• Lossless uses FLAC at up to 24‑bit/44.1 kHz, a ceiling below rivals such as Apple Music, Tidal and Qobuz that offer up to 24‑bit/192 kHz.
• Playback works on mobile, desktop and tablets and on compatible Spotify Connect devices from brands including Sony, Bose, Samsung, Sennheiser, Denon, Yamaha and Bluesound, with Sonos and Amazon devices expected to gain support in October.
• Spotify warns Bluetooth cannot carry true lossless bandwidth, recommending wired headphones or supported Connect speakers for best results.
