although the net subscriber count has gone up but so has their expenditure. I feel they may after all go after the Hi-fi as the loss has nothing to do with line of business but with operations and strategies.
Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz etc will all go out of business at some point. They can’t sustain continual losses indefinitely. The only streaming we will eventually be left with are those services that can use streaming to get people to use their other ecosystem products that are profitable. ie Apple, Amazon and Google
Idk about that RD, Spotify algorithm and UI are still untouchable. A hifi tier and lower prices would be slam dunk for them but they went super retard mode on podcasts and they deserve every f'ing loss.
Spotify connect feature alone makes it the best among peers as far as convenience go. I do hope they come up with Hi-fi tier and download store to buy music like Qobuz.
As long as Amazon is cheaper and I have devices that allow me to playback bit-perfectly, Spotify will have a hard time getting my $. If they offered even just redbook at the current price, I might pay a few $ more than Amazon for their algorithmic and ergonomic benefits.
I do like Roon a lot, but I must admit that the main reason why I use it is that it allows me to stream Qobuz to all my devices.
If Spotify had lossless, ideally also > 44/16, I’d probably jump ship. Even more probably if streaming local content was possible with Spotify, too, but I don’t really have so much of that.
