Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming
Spotify is finally launching lossless audio streaming for Premium users at no extra cost, rolling out in select regions. To enjoy it at full 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC quality, you need to use Spotify Connect or wired (non-Bluetooth) headphones or speakers, as Bluetooth can’t handle the bandwidth.
Lossless must be enabled per device via Spotify’s Media Quality settings, and an indicator will show when it’s active. While it’s a big upgrade, it doesn’t yet match the highest-quality tiers from competitors like Tidal, but it’s a long-awaited feature first announced in 2021.
Here’s how to turn it on step-by-step:
1. Tap your profile icon in the top left of the app.
2. Go to Settings & Privacy → Media Quality.
3. Choose where to enable lossless audio: Wi-Fi, cellular, or downloads.
4. Manually enable it for each device you use since it’s device-specific.
