As we’ve argued before, a lossless streaming service effectively puts a CD store in your house (or on your smartphone). CD-quality streaming will see data rates rise to anything between 700kbps and 1400kbps. It is happening.Ĭurrently, Spotify’s Ogg Vorbis lossy-encoded streams top out at 320kbps. Side note: cynics complaining that we have heard all of this before ( and we have) are reminded that this time the news originates from Spotify’s own newsroom. The new ‘HiFi’ tier will offer CD-quality streaming to all Spotify apps – smartphone and desktop – as well as Spotify Connect-able audio devices. As bombs landing on the hi-fi/audiophile world go, they don’t get much bigger than this: Spotify is set to launch a lossless streaming tier sometime in 2021.
