Spotify finally rolls out Lossless audio — here’s how to turn it on

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-09 00:36:50

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify’s long-awaited lossless audio tier is now gradually rolling out to Premium subscribers. The feature, simply called Lossless, streams in up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC. It is recommended to stream lossless music on Wi-Fi using either wired headphones or speakers on a non-Bluetooth connection. Spotify announced its “HiFi” lossless tier in February 2021, but the feature never arrived — until now. Literally years after the first announcement, Spotify is

Spotify adds lossless streaming after 8 years of teasing

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-10-09 00:00:00

It’s been a long time coming but Spotify is finally getting lossless audio. Rumors have been circulating about a high-fidelity offering since as early as 2017. In 2021, Spotify claimed it was “coming later this year.” And by May of 2024 it was “almost ready.” So, when rumors started picking up again in June of this year, they were met with skepticism, especially amid announcements over the launch of features nobody was asking for, like direct messaging. Well, it’s here. For real. And there’s so

Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-10-09 00:00:00

Spotify is finally launching high-quality, lossless music streaming support for premium account holders after years of waiting. The company first talked about a hi-fi tier in 2021 — which would offer CD-quality audio –but the plan faced multiple delays, partially due to licensing issues. Last year, CEO Daniel Ek said that the company was in the “early days” of launching lossless streaming support. Over the past few years, reports and code hints in the app suggested that the company was plannin

Apple’s Best New iOS 26 Feature Has Been on Pixel Phones for Years

wired.com Reece Rogers 2025-10-09 03:53:15

Ever since I was a child, I’ve despised answering the phone when an unknown number calls. Who could be on the other end? Literally anyone: an acquaintance, a telemarketer, a serial killer who’s menacingly breathing into the mouthpiece. While Apple’s upcoming Liquid Glass refresh in iOS 26 is likely to be the most immediately noticeable aspect of the software update as it starts rolling out to the public on September 15, I believe a smaller addition in iOS 26 might even have a bigger impact on h

E-paper display reaches the realm of LCD screens

E-paper displays are prized for their readability and low power use, but they’ve long been dismissed as too slow for everyday computing. Modos, a two-person startup with open-hardware roots, thinks it has cracked part of that problem with a development kit capable of driving an e-paper display at refresh rates up to a record 75 hertz.

Why SpaceX made a $17B bet on the direct-to-cell market

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-10-09 11:44:20

SpaceX just fired off one of the biggest shots yet in the spectrum wars, agreeing to pay $17 billion to take over a massive chunk of wireless airwaves from EchoStar for Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell services. The deal is the most aggressive signal yet that SpaceX wants to rule the satellite-to-phone market. The significance of the sale, which sees SpaceX paying a mix of $8.5 billion in cash and $8.5 billion in SpaceX stock, centers around a finite resource: spectrum. Spectrum refers to the range o

Decades-Old Waste Barrels Are Creating Toxic Dead Zones off LA’s Coast

Until 1972, the Pacific waters of Southern California served as a dumping ground for hazardous and industrial wastes. More than 50 years later, corroded metal barrels still litter the seafloor off the coast of Los Angeles, and scientists are only beginning to understand the consequences of casually tossing them into the ocean. Images of the barrels first surfaced in 2020, with some of them encircled by mysterious white halos on the seafloor. Experts initially linked the barrels to DDT—a toxic p
