Spotify HiFi Launch Still Delayed, Blames Industry Players.
TL;DR
Spotify's co-president Gustav Söderström has confirmed that the company's HiFi tier is still in the works and will be launched in a way that makes sense for the company and its listeners. Söderström blamed "other players in the industry" for the delay but did not provide any specifics. The Verge reports that Spotify HiFi has been ready for more than a year, but the launch was spoiled by Apple bundling lossless into Apple Music for free.
