I'm clearly in the upper 4% of your listeners. And btw, Apple Music sound quality runs in circles around your OGG-Vorbis compressed sound.Īs a fan of your service please consider this with all sincerity.
Congratulations, you guys managed to lose yet another client because of your empty promises. If you want to keep me as a paying client you need to do better.ĮDIT: As of March 22, 2022, I moved to Apple Music after MANY years as a Spotify client. Barely anything is delivered and when it is it takes forever and comes out buggy as **bleep**.
Truth is that I gave you guys plenty of time for you to deliver on your promises but I now see that there's a pattern with your company: promises, promises, and promises. I'm a premium subscriber of Spotify for years but I'm REALLY considering changing to Apple Music at the beginning of 2022, I've even started to migrate my playlists. But considering this HIFI situation and the fact that iPhone users are waiting for a landscape mode since 2013, I think that you need to be pulled down of your streaming monopoly high horse to reconnect with reality. If you were more focused on improving your service instead of wasting time attacking Apple (which already have lossless stream), maybe many things were already a reality. We all know that plans change and things happen BUT not even being transparent and communicating with your paying customers is just arrogant and wrong! Many levels of wrong! 2021 you guys have officially announced HIFI was coming until the end of the year. How much will Spotify HiFi cost?Īgain, we don’t know, although Spotify did suggest–at least initially–that Spotify HiFi would cost something extra.Last Feb. (Apple was completely new to lossless and spatial audio streaming, while Amazon had previously been charging extra for lossless and spatial tracks.)įollowing the Amazon and Apple announcements, the prospect of paying extra (most likely) for only CD-quality music and (probably) no spatial audio began to lose its luster, so perhaps Spotify chose to retreat and regroup. Just three months after the Spotify HiFi announcement, Amazon and Apple both announced (separately, but on the same day) that they would begin offering lossless, high-resolution, and spatial audio music tracks, all for no extra charge. There is another reason that Spotify might have delayed Spotify HiFi: because it got caught flat-footed by Apple and Amazon. “So I can’t really announce any specifics on this other than to say that we’re in constant dialogue with our partners to bring this to market.” “Many of the features that we talk about and especially that’s related to music ends up into licensing,” Ek told investors.
