Spotify HiFi – or whatever the music streamer’s lossless audio offering ends up being called – seems both imminent, yet so far away, and frankly I’m tired of complaining about how frustrating it is that the music platform isn’t showing enough urgency over the much-delayed rollout.
Ever since Spotify first promised a ‘Supremium’ subscription tier with lossless, CD-quality audio, it’s had its users on the edge of their seats, myself included – but that was three years ago. I haven’t seen a rollout executed this poorly since Nicki Minaj released Pink Friday 2, and with every passing day Spotify puts more pressure on itself to deliver lossless audio that can compete against the likes of Apple Music and Tidal. But will I cave in and upgrade my subscription to the new HiFi tier when it’s finally launched? Oh, for sure.
