Premium has been $9.99 per month in the US since it launched.

      They are releasing that under a more expensive subscription option. Wish I was joking

        Tidal has been doing that for a while. The hi-fi option is/was double the price of the standard.

      http://abx.digitalfeed.net/ must be propaganda by Big Audio to sell more hifi equipment because I can’t tell a damn difference between lossy and lossless. I’m ashamed.

        I’d be curious to hear other people’s experience with this test. Personally, the two quality levels are completely indistinguishable for me. And that was sitting in a quiet room, using decent quality wired headphones, and really concentrating.

        At least I know there will be no need for me to upgrade my subscription if Spotify ever does start offering uncompressed.

        I can, but I do get it. Not everyone has the ears. But when you can hear it, it’s a curse lol

          Some of it has to do with the audio equipment too.

          Like I can hear the difference on my high quality headphones when connected to a decent USB audio interface device or my Denon home theater system with Technic speakers. Barely, while a difference is there. But can’t tell on my gaming headset or PC speakers.

          And my ears are messed up. Had two sets of ear tubes when I was a kid and have some scar tissue on my eardrums which resonates with odd frequencies sometimes.
