<p>Spotify is now trying to lure the audiophiles.</p><p>According to The Verge (http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/1/14776780/spotify-hi-fi-preparing-launch-lossless-audio-tier), a few Spotify users have started seeing prompts on the app to upgrade to Spotify Hi-Fi, a new premium tier offering lossless audio quality. In addition, Spotify Hi-Fi could offer one free vinyl record and other discounts on limited-edition vinyls. Spotify is testing the price for the service, which will be either $5 to $10 extra on top of the $10-a-month subscription to Spotify Premium.</p><p>Spotify has not confirmed when or if its Hi-Fi tier will eventually be rolled out as an official option to all users. When people who got the prompt tried to upgrade they received an error message or were told that the service was not yet available in their area, signaling that Spotify could just be testing whether there's enough interest and what the right price point should be.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3176107/streaming-media/spotify-is-launching-a-hi-fi-lossless-audio-tier-that-could-cost-twice-as-much.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
