Spotify ‘Supremium’: What is it and here’s how much it may cost – Times of India
Spotify announced a more expensive HiFi tier in February 2021 but there has been no official update since. Multiple leaks, however, suggested that the Swedish company may soon launch the long-awaited HiFi tier. Now a report has claimed that Spotify’s “Supremium” subscription will not only offer 24-bit lossless audio but also a bunch of other features, including AI-powered playlists. A Reddit user (via The Verge) has found various features as well as the subscription price of the alleged “Supremium” tier in a code in the Spotify app. The features include 24-bit lossless audio, the ability to create playlists with AI and advanced mixing tools that will allow users to customise the order of playlists by beats per minute. This will result in smooth transitions between songs. Additionally, there is also an option to filter songs in a playlist by mood or genre, and a “soundcheck” feature that lets users “learn more about your listening habits and discover what mix of sounds is uniquely you.” The Supremium tier may also feature 30 hours of audiobook listening each month.

Notably, a Spotify subscriber last year shared screenshots of a survey that suggested the price of a “Platinum” subscription could be $19.99. The screenshots mentioned that this tier will get “HiFi, Studio Sound, Headphone Tuner, Audio Insights, Library Pro, Playlist Pro, and Limited-ad Spotify Podcasts.” Currently, the Spotify Premium Individual plan costs $10.99 per month, the Premium Duo plan costs $14.99 per month, the Premium Family plan costs $16.99 per month and the Premium Student plan costs $5.99 per month. What Spotify has to say Spotify has declined to comment on the “speculation around possible new features.” “At Spotify, we are constantly iterating and ideating to improve our product offering and offer value to users,” Spotify spokesperson C J Stanley was quoted as saying. “But we don’t comment on speculation around possible new features and do not have anything new to share at this time,” Stanley added.
