After years of speculation dating back to 2017, Spotify is finally introducing lossless audio streaming. The new tier‑less offering will reach Premium subscribers across 50 markets, starting with regions such as the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and Japan. Users will receive in‑app notifications, enable lossless in the media quality settings, and see an indicator when listening. Initial device support includes Sony, Bose, Samsung and Sennheiser hardware, with Sonos and Amazon devices slated to follow. The service tops out at 24‑bit / 44.1 kHz FLAC, which is lower than the 24‑bit / 192 kHz offered by competitors like Apple Music, Tidal and Qobuz.
