Spotify "Supremium"

Love my amp made in JapanAs @Brantome said, I think there are licensing issues and market size. However, it is also true that it is called an IT backward country.
I don't know of any global apps from Japan. Maybe only Pokemon Go.

You don't have the app in the play store then?
Thank you.
It's still shiny!
Your affection will be transmitted.

I can understand this very well.Yes,
I can use a VPN to create a foreign account, but don't want to do that.
I wouldn't want to do this either.
Although I use a VPN sometimes but not in this manner.

Rumour mill starting up again...

Spotify leaks suggest lossless audio is almost ready
And possibly with a new name and device compatibility checker.

Agree with this .... be interesting to see how much it'd be as well, if it's more than Tidal, Amazon and Qobuz be a bit of a joke really.
The individual Spotify "Premium" plan (limited to 320 kbps MP3) is already as expensive as the individual TIDAL plan (including HiRes) in Germany. The family plan is even more expensive than TIDAL's.
Consequently, the only way how Spotify "Superperpremiumfiything" could not be more than TIDAL would be Spotify giving it away for less than "Premium".

I’d seriously consider Spotify hi res (or whatever they call it) if they also removed the one stream per account limitation it has. My family use echos with Amazon Music as its family subscription allows up to six simultaneous streams on one or more accounts. Spotify can’t do that so is a pain to use in a multi user, single Alexa account setup.

In my opinion, Spotify would be very short sighted if they priced themselves out of the hi res market if they charge considerably more than their competitors. Ok, maybe the “audiophile” market isn’t large compared to their entire user base, but they do have a pretty good app…

Think Brantome's response reiterates exactly what I've been saying

I don't find the Spotify app is anything better than Tidal or Deezer apps. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. You pays your money and takes your choice. In fact Deezer's live radio streams are unique, as are Tidal video streams. My use I s essentially Deezer,, Tidal and then Spotify. German Dutch users also have audiobooks with Deezer.Spotify have a better app and a larger database of music than the other services, so if the entire database will be lossless CD-quality i guess a little higher prices than Tidal/Qobuz/Apple Music can be justified

Maybe Spotify has to think to add more functionality and quality for their paying users.
We will see..
We will see..
And still it will be more expensive ...
Spotify is currently in the process of increasing their prices even more without any added value.
