I honestly think #Spotify has missed the boat on this one. Those who care about #Lossless will already be on #AppleMusic#Deezer or #Tidal; and those who don't care won't pay the extra to get it. The fact the aforementioned three services all include lossless in their base subscriptions while it will be an extra tier on Spotify won't help matters. #Music#Streaming
If they'd gone lossless a year ago it might have mattered. Now, not so much
Spotify lossless audio said to be close to launch, with third branding
#Loseless (and especially #HighRes) audio is all a placebo at best (and a marketing con at worst) anyway. The vast majority of people cannot tell the difference between a 320kbps mp3 and a 192KHz24bit file, and that only gets more true as we age. Lossless is useful for archival purposes; audio consumption not so much. #Music
Spotify’s long-rumored high-res music tier looks like it might be finally ready for launch, based on some pretty convincing leaked screengrabs.
The music streaming service has fallen behind a number of its big rivals in not offering lossless music, but so-called “Enhanced Listening” will look to change that, offering up to 24-bit/44.1kHz playback via Spotify Connect on compatible devices.
@9to5google has more on the expected feature and how it compares to the competition, but we want to hear what you think — is high-res sound quality important to you in a streaming service? Has Spotify done enough?
#Soundcloud for Artists has done its job and today my first song has been published on a bunch of platforms. Exciting!
Later I'll try to publish on #Bandcamp for the first time, I'll switch on Soundcloud, and I'll publish on Anartist.org 's platforms. I will "launch" when all this is done.
Meanwhile, could you search for "icaria36" wherever you listen to your #music and let me know if you find me there or not, please? I'll go wherever you go. :)
