Spotify Hifi Still Doesn T Have A Launch Date After Nearly Five Years

Last February during its Stream On event, the company said Spotify HiFi would debut later in the year and deliver CD-quality tunes as an option for Premium subscribers. Pricing and market availability details were missing, but it turns out those details really didn’t matter as the service never rolled out. In response to community discussion on the matter, a Spotify moderator recently said they are excited to deliver a Spotify HiFi experience to Premium users in the future but don’t have timing details to share yet. The mod promised Spotify would share additional information when the time is right. The Swedish streaming provider in its most recent quarterly update back in October said total monthly active users now sit at 381 million, of which 172 million are paying subscribers. Results for the fourth quarter are expected to be shared after the market closes on February 2, 2022. Image credit: Alexander Shatov
