Spotify introduces lossless streaming

Instant FLAC streaming to all of my devices? Oh my.

can you even see bitrate on spotify right now how do i trust this

>>59219874
you won't be able to tell the difference anyways :^)

>>59219874
If you can't notice the difference between lossy and lossless without using visual tools, you're probably better just sticking with lossy to be honest.

I was about to subscribe to google play, but hell, lossless streaming will make me switch instantly.

Literally a placebo scam

They took so long to get this.

>>59219966
How is out a scam?
If someone wants to buy a placebo and you sell or to them everyone is happy

>that joke of a service is still up and running

do they burn investor money or there are literal retards giving them money?

You can't see the difference between vorbis 320 and flac as you can't place the stones properly on your smartphone, neither it does have high quality antenna for the most pure signal or aural magnetic shield next to the dac

>>59219757
what a fucking joke. this is basically saying we'll provide a checkbox that does nothing but costs $10 a month. And the audiophiles will eat it up like it's chocolate.

>>59219757
Still inferior to having a local 10TB .FLAC library and playing it through your riced out foobar2000.

>>59220311
i'm reverse iping this post finding you and killing you

Doesn't spotify already have 320?

What's even the fucking point of streaming flac. Flac is purely for archival reasons.

320 kbps is not enough for some people, especially those who spend thousands of dollars on audio equipment.

>>59220467
The only reason to spend thousands of dollars on audio equipment is if you actually produce music. If you spend that much just to listen to music you're actually retarded.

Spotify desktop app loads tracking pixels over HTTP. Enjoy your botnet.

Also

 lsof -i | grep LISTEN 

shows Spotify opening a bunch of ports, but it works fine when these are firewalled.

Browser version of any service is almost always better for security than desktop version. less privileges + sandbox + can inspect devtools

>>59220690
yan please

>>59220366
40 million FLAC tracks won't fit on your NAS, and Foobar doesn't have a lossless radio feature.

>one free vinyl.

So they ship a vinyl to your home?

Now this is the life.

>>59222256
Maybe start listening to more artists than Beyonce or Taylor Swift

>>59222519
Jokes on you, faggot, I only listen to Ace of Base.

>>59222519
Jokes on you I don't listen to music in English.

>>59222519
spotted the pleb

>lossless streaming
What were they doing before, playing the digital files through a speaker and sending an analog signal that was re-interpreted by a sub-server closer to your ISP?

Yes yes I know I'm being pedantic, but lossless audio is pretty much a contradiction in terms.

This kills Tidal.

RIP Jay-Z who took out $200M debt to buy Tidal and will now have to work until 70 to pay off the debt.

Difference between 320kbps 800kbps and 1400kbps is fucking huge. I cant listen to yt anymore or anything thats not at least 1100kbps.

DT 990 600 ohm + Schiit

Enough people for it to be a category on Spotify

>>59219757
when the fuck are they gonna re-add lyrics support?

More than $220 a year is too much for me.

I will stick with Apple Music like a poorfag would do.

>>59223157
good question, i really liked it

>>59220658
I own HD 650's with a dedicated amp/DAC and can't here the difference between 320 Kb/s lossy mp3 and lossless flac.

>>59223334
And? just because you have inferior genes doesn't mean everyone else does, dummy.

320kbps ogg is enough for me, at least i'm paying 0.99 per month.

Poor Tidal.

it's really sad what /g/ has become. bunch of illitarate normies talking about streaming, completely oblivious to various issues and implications of it.

mp3 in 2017 is fucking stupid

flac for lossless and opus for lossy is all you need
