Overview

• Internal app code on desktop and mobile devices now includes “Lossless” labels and help cards describing CD-quality streaming in up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz, showing that the service is developed but currently disabled.
• Spicetify has uncovered hidden interface elements listing a new Lossless quality setting in audio preferences and Spotify Connect menus alongside a test feature called “Enhance your headphones.”
• Beta code for the iOS Spotify app confirms plans to support lossless playback and downloads on iPhones through a dedicated 24-bit audio option.
• Bloomberg reports that Spotify’s upcoming Music Pro tier will bundle lossless streaming with remixing tools and possibly concert ticket access for up to $5.99 more per month than standard Premium.
• New licensing deals with Warner Music and Universal Music Group in early 2025 appear to have cleared rights issues that delayed Spotify’s HiFi tier, though Apple Music offers lossless audio at no extra cost.
