It seems that this time is serious. Spotify could be closer to fulfilling your old promise to offer higher quality audio to its users. Bloomberg points out that the Swedish firm is preparing a subscription option called Music Pro that will include this and other improvements for those who seek an experience a step beyond Premium.
The sources consulted by the aforementioned medium say that Spotify is still working on the Price and in the schedule, but they hope to launch the new level at the end of this year for additional $ 5.99 in the United States. At this time it is not clear if the supposed novelties will expand to other markets, including the European Union.
Good news for audiophiles
In the best case, paying a subscription and listening through the application, Spotify offers sound in AAC format with a quality equivalent to 320 kbps. Taking into account that the loss -less audio bits rate begins around 1,411 kbps, this shows how compressed are Spotify files.
And while the service created by Daniel EK has the largest number of planet users, several less popular alternatives offer higher quality audio. There are Apple Music, Amazon Music HD or Tidal, who have been betting on this ideal possibility for audiophiles for a long time. Spotify will seek to make a difference with its new proposal.
In addition to offering better quality audio, streaming service will allow subscribers to mix songs by different artists. For this characteristic it will use artificial intelligence, but it will not be the only thing. The additional payment of $ 5.99 The door will open to Buy tickets for pre -sale concerts or access better seats.
In any case, there is no official confirmation, so we will have to wait to know if this will end up materializing. Even having an official confirmation the ideal would be to wait. In its 2021 Stream On event, Spotify announced with bombs and dishes that would offer “Music with CDs without losses” at the end of that year.
Four years have passed since that announcement, and not only the promise is still not fulfilled, but the video in which Billie Eilish participated, which was originally on YouTube, has disappeared (now is private). In addition, the page with more details too It has been eliminated. Over time we will know what will really happen.
