Despite facing delays, Spotify has confirmed that the HiFi tier is still on the way. The company had initially planned to launch the new tier in 2021, but after Apple Music and Amazon released their own lossless audio, Spotify decided to revise its HiFi tier. The release date for the new tier is still unclear.
Key takeaways:
- A Redditor discovered new evidence about Spotify's HiFi tier, which could cost $20 a month and feature CD-like lossless audio quality, AI software for playlists, and mixing tools.
- The new tier, referred to as "Nemo" internally, could provide 24-bit lossless audio with no lag or delay, and the ability to create playlists through AI.
- The HiFi tier could also offer thirty hours of audiobook listening every month and advanced song-mixing tools.
- Spotify's HiFi tier was originally supposed to be released in 2021, but was delayed due to changes in the industry and competition from Apple Music and Amazon.
