Why is Spotify HiFi delayed?
Spotify co-chairman Gustav Soderstrom’s statement is as follows; “We announced HiFi, but then the industry changed for many reasons. We will do it, but in a way that makes sense for us and our audience. The industry has changed, so we have to adapt.”
Spotify employees are known to have been testing the HiFi plan for over a year. According to rumors, Apple Music’s no additional charge for lossless quality music has spoiled Spotify’s plans. Spotify hoped to offer lossless music at higher pricing.
