HiFi was finally announced at Spotify’s Stream On event last February, but just a few months later, Apple surprised by launching its own lossless streaming service at no additional cost from a standard plan. Lossless streaming was one of the top-requested features from Spotify users, and the service was even tested with a small group of users back in 2017.

Since then, Spotify has expanded into Podcasts and Audiobooks – but HiFi was still unreleased, even after competitors, Apple, Tidal and Amazon launched their own lossless streaming features.

Spotify HiFi, which will let listeners enjoy music at CD-quality audio, was announced at the start of 2021, and was expected to release that year. The world’s most popular music streaming service is set to offer lossless streaming.
