Čini se da Spotify sada pokušava nadoknaditi izgubljeno vreme i stići konkurenciju, nudeći sopstvenu verziju visokokvalitetnog striminga, ali uz dodatne troškove. Pored većeg kvaliteta zvuka, Ek je nagovestio da će ovaj novi Premium paket uključivati i neke dodatne funkcionalnosti koje će korisnicima omogućiti veću kontrolu nad svojim muzičkim iskustvom.
Premijum paket Spotify-a trenutno košta oko 9 dolara mesečno, tako da bi povećanje cene na 17 ili 18 dolara predstavljalo značajno povećanje za korisnike. Međutim, Ek veruje da postoji tržište za ovakav proizvod, s obzirom na sve veću popularnost striming servisa i potrebu korisnika za boljim kvalitetom zvuka.
Ovo je samo jedan od načina na koji Spotify pokušava da se izdvoji od konkurencije i zadrži svoju poziciju kao jedan od vodećih striming servisa u svetu. Pored ponude visokokvalitetnog striminga, kompanija je nedavno najavila i partnerstvo sa popularnom platformom za video igre Discord, što će omogućiti korisnicima da slušaju muziku direktno sa Spotify-a dok igraju svoje omiljene igre.
Očekuje se da će novi Premium paket biti dostupan korisnicima širom sveta u narednim mesecima, ali za sada nema preciznih informacija o datumu izlaska ili tačnom paketu koji će biti uključen. Jedno je sigurno – ljubitelji muzike imaju mnogo toga da očekuju od Spotify-a u budućnosti.

Statement from Daniel Ek, they plan to offer users a higher quality streaming package at a higher price. There is no information on when this might happen as it seems like everything is still in the development phase.
Our plan is to offer a much better version of Spotify. Imagine something like $5 above the current Premium. So probably around $17 or $18 per month. This should be some kind of deluxe version of Spotify that has all the benefits of the normal one, but with much more control and much higher sound quality and some other things that I’m not ready to talk about yet – he said, as reported by Verge.
Spotify announced three years ago that they plan to switch to high-quality streaming. They mentioned bringing quality like that on CD formats. This has not happened yet, but the competition has surpassed them in that segment as Amazon Music and Apple Music started offering users high-quality music streaming at no additional cost.
It seems that Spotify is now trying to make up for lost time and catch up with the competition, offering its own version of high-quality streaming, but at an additional cost. In addition to higher sound quality, Ek hinted that this new Premium package will include some additional features that will allow users greater control over their music experience.
Spotify’s Premium package currently costs around $9 per month, so increasing the price to $17 or $18 would be a significant increase for users. However, Ek believes that there is a market for this product, given the increasing popularity of streaming services and the users’ need for better sound quality.
This is just one way Spotify is trying to stand out from the competition and maintain its position as one of the leading streaming services in the world. In addition to offering high-quality streaming, the company recently announced a partnership with the popular gaming platform Discord, which will allow users to listen to music directly from Spotify while playing their favorite games.
The new Premium package is expected to be available to users worldwide in the coming months, but for now, there is no precise information on the release date or the exact package that will be included. One thing is certain – music lovers have a lot to expect from Spotify in the future.“
