My account got upgraded to lossless last week and since it's happened I noticed my phone battery has been absolutely destroyed by Spotify. Has anyone else found this? Its at 90% of the battery usage, and the battery lasts well under 6 hours. Its an iphone 16 pro so its never been brilliant but its noticeably worst since I switched to lossless.
Spotify Hi-Fi lossless is (finally) here!

Had a play with lossless today on my fairly cheapo Sonos system (just a few Sonos Ones, and one Beam, so nothing special). The difference is stunning! Given that I'm not listening on anything that high end I'm pretty shocked.
Might still move to Tidal or Deezer as they both seem a bit less fussed about dumping a load of "social" crap and videos on my homepage and more about listening to music, but I'm so impressed by the audio quality.

£2 increase to family account coming next month guessing it's for providing this among other things.
£21.99 a month now
hitting the limits of what people are willing to pay all these sub services.

Tidal family is £16.99 (sign up on the website not the app) for 6 people. Switching playlists is now pretty easy, was a no brainer for me.
As I've mentioned previously I was on Spotify family and last price increase they tried to soften it with the 15hrs audio books for the main account but didn't make it clear there was a cheaper option without that (which I only used a few times to see what it was like)

Spotify Premium 12-Month for £29.99 via wowcherhttps://www.wowcher.co.uk/deal/shop/electricals/software/42284134/spotify-premium-12-months
This offer is valid for new customers only and requires the creation of a new Spotify account; it cannot be redeemed by existing Spotify users or linked to pre-existing accounts.
Might aswell buy from the shady websites as its cheaper.
Not had that issue on 15 Pro Max.
It does annihilate my data when on the move though.
Me neither on Pixel 6, what did increase battery usage though was enabling LDAC.
Mines fine, downloading more data does decrease battery quicker though.

sure it's been discussed, but,
unless you have a device with spotify connect (eg Wiim) can you exploit the the 24/44.1 since you need to feed that stream to a dac/speakers avoiding iphone/android 16bit sound mixer.
I have used tidal lossless on windows directly/bit-perfect to an external dac - but what would I do with spotify ?

Was googling about looking for an update on exclusive mode for windows Spotify app and it seems about a month ago the beta got an exclusive mode (assuming WASPI) feature which is good news so should be with us soon hopefully.

Thanks to this thread I've now found the Lossless setting, not sure I'll use it mind but at least I have it.
We are a 2.1 family so I naturally have to pay for 6 accounts to get 3.... my only real grumble, the library is decent enough with all the random folk stuff I get asked about at music nights on there.

even though windows offers lossless spotify doesn't seem to say what is the quality of individual tracks being played.
however, on an adjacent iphone using spotify on same account it has the word lossless next to the current(windows) play back device name ?
maybe windows isn't really offering lossless until exclusive is available ?
