Spotify appears to be on the verge of launching its long-anticipated Hi-Fi lossless audio streaming tier after more than four years of anticipation. Recent discoveries in the app's code and leaked images indicate the inclusion of 24-bit/44.1 kHz audio quality and FLAC-based lossless streaming, with support found across desktop, web, and iPhone beta versions. The new tier is expected to offer both streaming and download options, possibly including headphone optimization features. While the launch seems imminent, some leaked information suggests the service may not fully match the quality offered by competitors. Nonetheless, this development marks a major step forward for Spotify's audio quality offerings.
