Subscribers were surprised to find that the increase will not be accompanied by the high fidelity (Hi-Fi) audio feature. O Spotify already announced that it would launch a more expensive plan to make such technology available.
However, so far, the company has not reported whether the addition would also be a way to offer the feature in the plans that are available.
Hi-Fi has the capacity to provide a much superior audio reproduction, without loss of quality and with high resolution, generating a musical experience rich and immersive.
The rise in prices was a movement expected by many people. The company even disclosed its financial results at a conference and announced that it had new values planned.
Finally, it remains for subscribers to face this change, considered unpleasant by many, to enjoy the musical resources of Spotify's subscription plans.
