STOCKHOLM: It's taken two years, but Spotify appears to at last be coming close to launching HiFi audio for subscribers, and the company has reaffirmed its plans to launch higher quality streaming at some point.

"We are going to do it, but we're going to do it in a way where it makes sense for us and for our listeners," product chief Gustav Söderström said on a podcast from tech news website The Verge.
