Spotify has announced that its streaming service will now integrate directly with leading DJ platforms, including rekordbox, Serato and djay. The new feature lets Premium subscribers access their entire Spotify library and playlists inside the DJ software, streamlining set creation and live mixing. The integration is rolling out globally in all markets where Spotify operates. While the move revives a functionality the company paused in 2020 due to rights issues, the service remains limited to paid users. The announcement follows recent product upgrades such as lossless audio and in‑app messaging. Leggi di più

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. YouTube remains the only major streaming platform without a lossless option. Leggi di più

Spotify has begun rolling out its long‑awaited Lossless audio tier to Premium users across more than 50 regions, including the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. The feature, offered at no extra charge, provides up to 24‑bit/44.1 kHz FLAC playback and will be available for the majority of the catalog. Users must manually enable Lossless on each device, and the service recommends streaming over Wi‑Fi or wired connections because Bluetooth bandwidth is currently insufficient. The rollout will continue through October. Leggi di più
