Spotify HiFi could cost an extra $5 a month, if it ever launches

You'll have to pay more for Spotify's lossless audio tier

It’s been hinted at for years, as Spotify remains the only platform to not offer Hi-Res audio streaming, even though it’s the world’s most popular music service. But it appears we’re edging one step closer to Spotify releasing its new high-fidelity audio option, according to a new report from Bloomberg, and it’ll cost $5 extra. Spotify is set to increase in price for the second time in the space of the year on July 1 to $11.99, which means you’ll have to pay $16.99 in total if you want the best audio quality possible.
