Spotify

Spotify is a Swedish music streaming service that has become one of the largest platforms on the market in terms of size and audience. Its catalog covers almost the entirety of international output, from major labels to independent releases, with a reputation built on the relevance of its recommendation algorithms and the quality of its editorial playlists.

The offering is available as a free ad-supported plan and as a paid subscription, which opens access to a Lossless tier in FLAC for lossless playback. The Spotify Connect protocol allows playback to be controlled from a phone or computer while sending the stream directly to network streamers, smart speakers, or compatible amplifiers on the market, without relying on a Bluetooth connection.
