They still don't offer lossless, so there's one rationale right there.
While it's oh so easy to claim a moral high ground on this there are still things in the market which could be easily offered (ALAC downloads in the iTunes store, for example) but aren't. As such, I use spotify premium for day to day, but if I'm buying music, it's lossless or nothing. I'm not paying the same price for a CD for a worse experience. That is not value.
- tzs 14y agoHave you done a blind A/B test to determine if you can hear the difference between 256 kbit/sec AAC and lossless?
- te_chris 14y agoIt doesn't matter. One is a reference quality file, the other has been artificially degraded. I'm not paying the same price as a physical, reference quality medium for an artificially degraded file.
