Spotify's Lossless HiFi tier could be launched soon.

• Spotify's desktop and mobile app has revealed hidden UI elements labeled "Lossless" for FLAC streaming at 24‑bit/44.1 kHz.

• Settings menu entries offer quality selection, while help cards explain data usage.

• Spotify HiFi was first unveiled in early 2021 but had no launch date.

• New reports suggest it will launch later this year as part of a premium "Music Pro" add-on.

• Expect an additional $5–$6/month on top of the standard Premium (\$11.99/month), totaling around $17–$18/month.

• Spotify recently renewed licensing deals with major labels like Warner and Universal, likely in anticipation of supporting HiFi.

• This brings Spotify on par with rivals like Apple Music and Tidal, which already offer lossless quality.

• The addition of device-tailored EQ and extras like ticket access or remixing tools positions "Music Pro" as more than just sound quality.

• This could elevate Spotify's appeal beyond convenience-focused streaming.
