which will provide users with higher quality music Spotify HiFiwas introduced in February. With the new feature, the information is given that the music will be “heard” literally; It was stated that HiFi will be supported on devices with Spotify installed and speakers with Spotify Connect. Also, a video with Billie Eilish and Finneas explained how high-quality sound would be.
The Swedish-based music platform said in its Spotify HiFi announcement that the feature will be available in 2021. However, the company did not keep its promise to subscribers. Meanwhile, Apple Music, one of Spotify’s formidable competitors, has acted before and offered lossless audio to users. The same feature is also available in Amazon Music and Tidal apps.
The fate of the Spotify HiFi feature is still unclear
Almost a year has passed since February 2021, when HiFi was first announced. In the company official press release “Spotify HiFi will begin rolling out in select markets later this year. We will share more details soon” Although he said that, he has been keeping his silence for 11 months.
Although it is said that Spotify is suspending the HiFi feature, we do not think that it is very likely. Because from time to time, there have been some developments pointing to the future of HiFi to the platform. For example, The Verge editor Chris WelchComing to the iOS version of the Spotify app in May Said HiFi button was added and shared a screenshot of it.
So what does HiFi do?
HiFi feature can convey the sound recorded by musical instruments to the listener almost indistinguishably from the real thing. For this reason, it is among the subjects that artists are interested in. Artist Billie Eilish in her speech in the video she created in collaboration with Spotify “This is because we produce music that we want to be heard the way it is made. [özellik] really important.” said.
The Spotify HiFi feature is expected to be available to premium subscribers for free this year. However, since the company has not announced an official date yet, we do not consider this claim as certain. Currently, Apple Music users can also use the lossless audio feature. at no additional charge they can access. Likewise, Amazon Music Unlimited and Tidal subscribers can listen to high-quality music.
