Spotify is finally preparing to roll out lossless audio—a feature users have been waiting on for years.
🆕 What’s New:
Recent desktop app updates show “Lossless” appearing in audio settings, sitting alongside existing tiers like High and Very High. The new quality tier is labeled as:
- FLAC format
- Up to 1 GB/hour
- 24-bit / 44.1 kHz
📡 Spotify Connect Integration
Lossless audio also appears in the Spotify Connect device menu, hinting at playback support on compatible device
🎧 Headphone Enhancer Feature
Spotify is also testing a new “Enhance Your Headphones” tool. Internally dubbed “puffin,” it seems to boost audio quality for certain headphone models using what Spotify calls “innovative technology.” A compatibility checker is built in.
💰 Premium-Only?
Early signs suggest these features will be exclusive to Spotify Premium users.
🔊 Whether you can hear the difference between lossless and compressed audio is up for debate—but the tech is finally catching up to the promise.
