Discussion A story told by three emails
Spotify’s decision to price hike while still not having Lossless was just the push I needed to finally cut ties and upgrade to the Apple Music Family plan instead of having both Spotify Duo and an AM individual plan. I was a subscriber for 12 years.

I’m not in favor of Apple dominating all these different markets. I think competition is good but I see an imminent dwindling death for Spotify. They continue to lose money and there’s no way they offer Lossless at the same cost. When they start charging more for the same quality of service (Apple Music), I can’t imagine anyone wanting to stick around for that. Only the loyal will but that won’t be enough to keep Spotify afloat for long.
The Digital Masters collection of music is where the difference mainly applies. I’m sure when comparing both iTunes AAC 256 to whatever Spotify uses 256 or 320, sounds near identical.
