Spotify's long-awaited lossless music is finally here - how to enable it today


You have to manually turn on the feature to hear CD-quality sound on all your devices.

In other words, lossless music retains all of the original data from a recording to provide higher-quality sound compared to lossy formats, such as MP3. Do keep in mind that lossless playback consumes a considerable amount of bandwidth, so you might want to avoid it on your mobile device (unless connected to a wireless network). As well, lossless playback is not generally supported by Bluetooth, which means you'll need to have a wired pair of headphones or traditional desktop or floor speakers to enjoy the higher-quality audio.
