Spotify is probably the most used platform to listen to music on demand and not just music, its Podcasts section is the best. That said, there is still one important problem to solve: How come we don’t have HiFi or Lossles mode with us yet. It is a question that millions of users ask themselves every day when opening the application. Especially those who pay it. Because one of the advantages of Spotify is that you can listen for free even if you have to put up with ads.
Apple Music is no better than Spotify. Many users know that while we love the Apple universe, we disagree on how it performs certain parts of it. Apple Music is good, yes, but Spotify has a much better management of charts and especially recommendations. But, nevertheless, Apple Music offers us something that the green app still lacks: HiFi or Lossles mode. In other words, listen to music without audio loss. Something that should be almost mandatory that you already have it. But its CEO throws balls
Its CEO says Spotify was able to deliver that lossless audio when Apple Music was before him And of course what the app wanted was to offer it in a way that could be appealing to them and the users. In other words, since Apple Music released it for free for its users, Spotify should do the same, but they didn’t like the idea of losing extra revenue for a new feature. That’s the only reason.
Until today, they have not found the formula that suits them. So the app still doesn’t offer this premium mode. But its CEO says it will come. You don’t know when, but it will come. Something they can already throw but don’t. They do their paying users a disservice because after all, those of us who use the app for free know we won’t get it. What I fear is that it will only become paying. From time to time.
