Notably missing from this list is Apple, who has yet to show any interest in offering lossless audio, either through its Apple Music streaming service or its iTunes store. Most of these also offer high resolution audio that exceeds the technical limits of audio CD, which will put them at an advantage if Spotify chooses to only limit itself to 16-bit/44.1kHz audio, as "CD quality" would imply. It now joins a growing number of services offering lossless audio, including Tidal, Amazon, Quobuz, and Deezer. The company has been testing lossless audio for a while now, with select users being selected for A/B testing since early 2017. Spotify currently uses Ogg Vorbis on desktop and mobile, and AAC for the web player. The company didn't go into further details regarding bit rate and codec for the HiFi mode. Spotify claims its new HiFi mode will enable "CD-quality" audio on existing devices and Spotify Connect-enabled speakers.
Spotify has announced its plans to launch Spotify HiFi, which will finally enable streaming lossless audio.
