Spotify "Supremium", high-quality lossless music tier gears up for imminent launch
Get ready for the imminent launch of Spotify's "Supremium," a high-quality lossless music tier that promises to elevate the streaming experience.
For dedicated Spotify enthusiasts, the perks of a Premium membership are well-known—ad-free music, mobile song queuing, offline downloads, and more. But what if there's a superior plan lurking beyond Premium's horizon? In 2021, Spotify tantalizingly hinted at such a plan, boasting potential features like higher-quality audio. However, details since then have been scant. Now, a vigilant Redditor may have uncovered signs of progress within Spotify's code.

Since the initial tease of an enhanced Premium subscription, time has passed, leaving some to wonder if it would ever materialize. In 2022, Spotify's co-president, Gustav Söderström, sought to reassure users by confirming ongoing work on the plan. He attributed delays to the ever-evolving streaming industry landscape. Nonetheless, competitors like Apple Music and Amazon Music have already delivered higher-quality audio to their subscribers, often without requiring an extra premium tier.
While Spotify remains a frontrunner in music streaming, the balance may shift as alternatives offer similar pricing with an audio quality boost. Unique features and an extensive music library have long been Spotify's appeal, but competitors have taken cues from subscriber preferences. Their enticing offerings could sway listeners away from Spotify, raising the question of how the streaming giant will respond in this evolving landscape.
