After a wait of almost five years, Spotify Lossless is here! And although most of us think its arrival as a free Spotify Premium software update is a Very Good Thing, provided you've got the hardware to hear it the key bit is that final clause. You're going to need a better connection to your ears. Do nothing but toggle Lossless on over a Bluetooth connection to your wireless headphones like you always do on the commute, and you're not going to hear the difference.
You probably will get a data allowance notification on your phone fairly soon though, since streaming in Spotify Lossless quality will consume plenty more data than before. Spotify's 'Very High' quality setting uses about 2.4MB per minute, but a lossless CD-quality track will eat through about 36MB of data in the same 60 seconds. On a capped data plan? You'd be wise to download your Lossless listening at home, over a wired or Wi-Fi connection before you head out, rather than streaming on demand.
