Key Points:
- The visualization of UI components from Spotify suggests that the inevitable realization of so-called lossless audio levels is getting closer.
- These screenshots demonstrate some deeper levels of functionality, for example, machine compatibility and streaming options up to 1411kps.
- The science now suggests that artists on Spotify may begin to adopt wider adoption of playlists to share their new songs.
For years, audiophiles have speculated that Spotify might be what they’ve been waiting for in the lossless audio realm and this might be the time it finally pays off. A little hope was raised in the minds of a lot of music lovers after the recent leak of user interface elements that may hint at a lot about the latest addition to music streaming.
According to the screengrabs (assuming they are obtained from version 1.2.36 of Spotify), we can clearly see the features users can expect. As part of the exploration, several discoveries have been made, including the possibility of lossless streaming quality up to 1,411kmph and even higher bitrates. Further, you can read that the speed is becoming as impressive as 2117 kilobytes per second, but at the same time, the situation is that 15.9 megabytes of data are transferred per minute.
However, the functionality to check compatibility between Spotify and devices is a very interesting addition, the accuracy of which shows how Spotify strives for the perfect experience for users. In doing so it provides information relating to device, connection type and bandwidth for the PCM, and supplements this with adequate guidance on optimal listening conditions.
In itself, it is fair to say that the competitor has taken two promising steps toward gaining popularity, but at the same time, some skepticism exists due to its track record. Barely did the company struggle to calm them down with promises that the new feature would be coming soon, its actions made it very clear to consumers. Spotify already has competitors that offer great sound quality, so it needs to make sure they live up to their promise – otherwise Spotify may not be on top and will have trouble competing in the ever-growing streaming market. Can.
To sum it up, although the leaked UI elements give clear hints about an enhanced identity, only time will tell whether Spotify will actually meet the long-term request for uncompressed streaming.
