Spotify ‘Music Pro’ with Hi-Fi, lossless audio to launch later this year

Spotify is finally eyeing to launch a new “Music Pro” subscription—offering Hi-Fi audio and lossless audio—later this year.

According to Bloomberg, this new tier will cost up to USD 5.99PHP 350INR 519EUR 6CNY 44 per month in the USD and will come as add-on to current plans. The cost would be cheaper in developing markets, the source says.

Aside from better audio quality, Music Pro will also include song remixing tools powered by AI. This should be different than Spotify DJ that launched previously. Spotify is also exploring options for users to get concert perks including pre-sale tickets and premium seating through this tier.

Pricing and exact launch date remain to be seen as Spotify securing necessary rights from major music labels is still underway.

Currently, prices of Spotify Premium in the Philippines are as follows:

• Mini: PHP 27USD 0.46INR 40EUR 0.44CNY 3 per week
• Individual: PHP 149USD 3INR 221EUR 2CNY 19 per month
• Family: PHP 239USD 4INR 354EUR 4CNY 30 per month
• Duo: PHP 199USD 3INR 295EUR 3CNY 25 per month
• Student: PHP 75USD 1INR 111EUR 1CNY 9 per month

Spotify’s work on this premium service has been years in the making, especially after its failed attempt to launch a “Hi-Fi” audio plan back in 2021.

In comparison, competitors like Apple Music and Amazon Music have been already offering high-quality streaming.
