In all these cases, due to compression losses of Bluetooth codecs, you will never fully benefit from a better sound quality anyway, even if the source is lossless. Listening in a car – also via Bluetooth – is a popular activity too.
Or they connect via the very same Bluetooth to a mediocore hi-fi set or wireless speaker (think teenagers, camping and so on). The vast majority of subscribers to a music service listen through headphones, usually a wireless Bluetooth one. Being managed by Google cloud, it already is covered to the highest standard.Let’s be very honest. I do have some suspicion if the delay is because they intend to simply re-write the entire program and apps from the ground up in preparation for a new platform-image direction rather than simply update them with the functionality.īecause of the already available formats and format requirements are negligible, the issue you raised is mostly logistic, with price of streaming and storage infrastructure being the dominant factor. It only needs to add a format standard to the player that has existed for 3 decades in order to make the switch. Even through local files, admittedly, only MP3 is supported currently, however the ability to play additional formats wouldn't be difficult to introduce because hey, its 2021.
What really matters is mentioned in a comment somewhere in this thread, and that is in the platform - what formats and quality range they actively support. Spotify even take (thus already hold) upwards of FLAC as a baseline through direct uploads, and if higher qualities are not submitted, then only the highest resolution formats are available on the music services. File submissions are for the largest part dealt with via large labels and/or aggregate services, which already hold all of these files that already are used for practically every other service.
