Spotify promised to launch a lossless (lossless) high-definition audio option for 2021, but the function has never actually launched and isn't even expected to happen. Last year, the company commented on the arrival of the “Supremium” function, but everything remains without a specific date, and a clue in the application icons reveals that the feature may have changed its name to “Music Pro”.
Supreme leaves, and Music Pro enters
The news was shared with the public by a Reddit user identified as “Hypixely,” and according to him, all references to Supremium mode in the code have been replaced with “Music Pro.”
According to the leaker, the app icons already contain phrases like “Connect uncompressed audio” and “Your favorite songs in 16-bit and 24-bit high-resolution audio.”
Also according to information posted on Reddit, Spotify's Music Pro app will offer an option to optimize songs for playback via headphones. This makes sense, as lossless compression mode has strong appeal for audiophiles who have headphones qualified for this type of reproduction.
Allowing additional controls for such implementation may be an interesting appeal for those willing to pay more.
When will he arrive?
Since Spotify has not disclosed this information, there is still no mention of when it should be confirmed to the public. Since the Swedish system is “retiring” the Supremium brand even before launch, there's no way to guarantee that Music Pro will see the light of day at some point.
If you enjoy high definition music with lossless compression, you can currently turn to platforms like Tidal, Deezer, and Apple Music.
