Spotify introduces lossless audio format, a feature similar to competitors'

THE NEW feature from Spotify, based in Sweden, will not be available for music streamed on Bluetooth.

You hear that?

Spotify announced Wednesday that Lossless Listening, its newest audio format, is available for premium users in select countries, including the U.S.

Lossless audio files allow for listeners to stream music using the least compressed and highest resolution audio formats can have, the company said.

Previously, when a musician uploaded their work to a streaming platform, the files tended to get compressed and lose some quality due to the encoding process. Spotify says that with Lossless Listening, users will now be able to hear every detail within the audio file.
