Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/devgianlu/go-librespot/issues/204
Spotify announced Losless support (FLAC), also for Spotify Connect.
Would be great if Go Librespot could support this!
@devgianlu commented on GitHub (Sep 10, 2025):
Is it clear yet how can it be used?
@peterdk commented on GitHub (Sep 10, 2025):
I read it's configurable per client and not only on the main desktop app. But that's all ofcourse I know.
@devgianlu commented on GitHub (Sep 10, 2025):
My Android app says that lossless is "coming" and I'll be notified 🤔
@tbenr commented on GitHub (Sep 10, 2025):
It is not yet available in Italy but it is already for several countries.

+1 To this enhancement. I know it's a little too soon, but just so the amazing dev team knows this would be a highly appreciated feature.
@justinerickson commented on GitHub (Oct 4, 2025):
I just got Spotify Lossless on iOS and macOS with the latest updates yesterday
@guidcruncher commented on GitHub (Oct 4, 2025):
Ive just got it on Android here in the UK but then again im in the Spotify beta program, go-librespot supports very high/high currently so the spotify app says, so i guess it definately needs to be implemented
Wow it says 1GB/Hour datarate!
Isnt 24bit/FLAC Kinda of pointlesss tho if your card can only play back 96000 at 16 bit for example?? or am I missing something
@devgianlu commented on GitHub (Oct 4, 2025):
Nothing in Italy yet :(
@guidcruncher commented on GitHub (Oct 4, 2025):
Are you in the Spotify App beta program?
@devgianlu commented on GitHub (Oct 4, 2025):
I am now, but I don't think that'll do much. Hopefully it comes in the next few days.
@guidcruncher commented on GitHub (Oct 4, 2025):

I see the lossless option now (Italy)
@devgianlu commented on GitHub (Oct 7, 2025):
Yup, I have it too, will look into it.
@tbenr commented on GitHub (Oct 8, 2025):
to test 24bit you can try spotify:album:2owktfAn8N3ZeiQl75G58Q
apparently there are very few
@devgianlu commented on GitHub (Oct 8, 2025):
I've had a quick look and it seems like they do not serve decryption keys for FLAC with the same protocol they did for the other formats. This means that FLAC may never go open source, since they have been notoriously taking down implementations of the new DRM.
I might have missed something, but this is all kind of expected.
@tbenr commented on GitHub (Oct 8, 2025):
Do you mean that they are reporting to GH repos trying to reimplement the new DRM (due to patent infringement or similar)?
@kingosticks commented on GitHub (Oct 8, 2025):
Previous reverse-engineered implementations of their DRM were subject to copyright DMCA takedown (the source is still available elsewhere if you look, but that's not much use given it's clearly a target for them).
My official desktop client is now using that DRM-based endpoint for everything, not just lossless. Which doesn't bode well for the future. Fortunately, Spotify will be stuck supporting old players/hardware so we are probably ok for a while.
@justinerickson commented on GitHub (Oct 9, 2025):
Bummer! I've been looking forward to Spotify lossless for years! Seems like librespot-org also discovered same DRM issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/1583
Anybody know how Chromecast Audio works? I wonder if enough people upvote this request to compel Spotify to support lossless with Chromecast Audio that might unstick go-librespot too: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Allow-lossless-playback-to-Chromecast-Audio-device/idi-p/7138979
@devgianlu commented on GitHub (Nov 7, 2025):
I am closing this as we've received communication from Spotify that makes it clear we cannot pursue development that circumvents their technical protections.
