sentiment : It has n’t even arrived , but there ’s plenty of people talk about Spotify ’s long - wait lossless sound recording tier up . And it does n’t sound like many are convinced by it .
More details leak out recently about what theSupremium tierwas going to offer to customers , and in addition to lossless audio frequency there will be AI playlists : the power to sort through playlists via mood , activity , or genre , advanced mixing tools , and a souncheck feature that allows you to respect your habits in more detail .
I have to say , I do n’t find that peculiarly interesting .
That ’s not to say that these features will be rubbish , they may prove to be very upright experiential features but I ’m not feeling the excitement . If you ’re someone who ’s left Spotify for another service ( one that includes higher character audio recording ) , there ’s not much here that would work you back . If you ’re on the Premium grade , aside from lossless audio , why would you switch to the pricier tier up , unless you ’re someone who wish to putter and consider your habits in greater detail ?
Blame Apple?
I consider Spotify ( and other streaming services ) have been placed in a Bromus secalinus ‘ check ’ position by Apple Music bid higher than lossless tone without up the damage .
Who ’s to say that Apple wo n’t raise the price in the future , but as of now , it ’s belike poach client from other services because it ’s seat on a price that ’s comparatively less expensive and offering alike if not better calibre .
Even those I ’ve spill to who have been stout Spotify fans are eyeing other services . The frequent price advance over the preceding couple of years have made Spotify a less compelling option because in exchange for the mark up , we anticipate more features and better calibre .
Spotify more or less feel as if it ’s the same experience it ’s always been .
It needs something transformative , but from what I ’ve interpret about the Supremium tier , it ’s not doing it for me . Do Ireallycare much about AI - generated playlists , will they be altogether different from what ’s available to me now ? Do I really feel the indigence to jab into my habits more – will it be the kind of affair I ’m meant to share , so it gets people talking ? Do n’t we do that in general when we verbalise about euphony – the Trusted Reviews ’ place get down quite lively when Charli XCX ’s 1999 is institute up – and does n’t the end - of - yr Spotify Wrapped fulfil that purpose on a larger scale ?
There ’s a jeopardy of Spotify palpate stale , and I ’d wish they ’d actually talk more openly about the upcoming tier . I put on there are some limitation confine what they can say ( what they are I do not know ) , but I palpate it ’s been so long in the grapevine ( nearly three years ! ) that the new tier will leave out without much fuss or fanfare .
Spotify has a vast ratifier base , with 220 million on its Premium grade alone . You would think that numeral makes the service an instant winner , but Spotify often operates at a going rather than a profit . It needs the Supremium tier to not just be a meek success but a convincing one , and as of right now it ’s not doing much to convert heart and minds .
