In a recent development, Spotify Lossless is making its way to Sonos users, much to their delight. Enthusiastic reports from Reddit indicate that many are experiencing a notable improvement in sound quality, particularly at higher volumes. One user, tman2damax11, expressed their initial skepticism about lossless audio but has since become a convert, stating, “I’ve been able to listen to music ~20% louder than I normally would without the track getting muddy from compression.”
Challenges for Android Users
However, not all news is positive. Some Android users have been facing difficulties with the Spotify app, which has been reported to crash or freeze when connected to specific Wi-Fi networks. This issue appears to predominantly affect users of Samsung and Google Pixel devices. Spotify has acknowledged the problem, stating, “We’ve received reports from Android users experiencing issues where the Spotify app becomes unresponsive, freezes, or crashes when connected to certain WiFi networks. The issue doesn’t occur while using mobile data.”
For those encountering these challenges, a temporary workaround is to switch to mobile data, though this may not be feasible for everyone, especially in areas with poor signal or for those on limited data plans. Spotify’s team is actively working on a solution, but a timeline for resolution remains unclear.
The issue does not seem to be universal; however, it has impacted a significant number of users. Some speculate that the problem may be linked to Chromecast, as connectivity issues tend to resolve when Wi-Fi is disabled. As the community awaits a fix, the hope is that Spotify will address these concerns promptly, allowing all users to enjoy their music seamlessly.
