Το Spotify ετοιμάζει συνδρομή "Music Pro" με ήχο χωρίς απώλειες -LossLess- σε υψηλότερη τιμή

Το Spotify ετοιμάζει συνδρομή "Music Pro" με ήχο χωρίς απώλειες -LossLess- σε υψηλότερη τιμή

Οι φήμες για την εισαγωγή ήχου χωρίς απώλειες από την Spotify δεν είναι καινούργιες. Πραγματικά, χρονολογούνται από πριν η Apple Music προσθέσει υποστήριξη για lossless το 2 2021. Για κάποιο λόγο, αυτό που έχει γίνει γνωστό ως “Spotify HiFi” δεν έχει δει ποτέ το φως της ημέρας. Ωστόσο, ένα νέο ρεπορτάζ από το The Verge αποκάλυψε τώρα ότι η πλατφόρμα ετοιμάζεται να εισαγάγει ένα νέο πακέτο “Music Pro”.

Κρυμμένος κώδικας μέσα στην εφαρμογή Spotify αποκαλύπτει τι να περιμένουμε από το νέο, πιο ακριβό πακέτο “Music Pro”. Η πιο αξιοσημείωτη προσθήκη είναι η υποστήριξη για ήχο χωρίς απώλειες. Η Spotify θα παρέχει αρχεία ήχου FLAC “έως 24-bit/44.1kHz”. Ενδεικτικά, η Apple Music προσφέρει αρχεία χωρίς απώλειες που κυμαίνονται από 16-bit/44.1 kHz (γνωστό ως ποιότητα CD) έως 24-bit/192 kHz.

Για όσους δεν είναι εξοικειωμένοι, ο ήχος χωρίς απώλειες αναφέρεται σε ένα αρχείο ήχου που έχει συμπιεστεί χωρίς απώλεια πληροφοριών, πράγμα που σημαίνει ότι ο ήχος θα ακούγεται ακριβώς όπως το αρχικό αρχείο master. Με άλλα λόγια, ο ήχος έχει περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες που μπορούν να γίνουν αντιληπτές από τον ακροατή. Για να ακούσετε ήχο χωρίς απώλειες, συνιστάται η χρήση ειδικού εξοπλισμού – όπως premium ενσύρματα ακουστικά.

Αλλά για να δικαιολογήσει την ύπαρξη της υψηλότερης τιμής, η Spotify σχεδιάζει επίσης να προσθέσει μερικά άλλα πράγματα στο νέο της πακέτο με ήχο χωρίς απώλειες. Για παράδειγμα, ο κώδικας υποδηλώνει ότι το Music Pro θα ξεκλειδώσει μια νέα λειτουργία remix για να “επιταχύνει, να μιξάρει και να επεξεργαστεί με άλλο τρόπο” κομμάτια. Το ρεπορτάζ είδε επίσης ενδείξεις για “κάποιου είδους βελτιστοποίηση ακουστικών” για συγκεκριμένα μοντέλα, όπως τα AirPods της Apple.

Υπάρχουν επίσης ενδείξεις για πιο προηγμένα φίλτρα που βασίζονται σε τεχνητή νοημοσύνη για την εύρεση και δημιουργία λιστών αναπαραγωγής.

Οι λεπτομέρειες κυκλοφορίας παραμένουν ασαφείς

Ακόμη δεν είναι σαφές πότε η Spotify σχεδιάζει να κυκλοφορήσει το νέο της πακέτο Music Pro ή πόσο θα κοστίζει. Ωστόσο, ενώ η Spotify θέλει να χρεώσει περισσότερα για ήχο χωρίς απώλειες, η Apple έχει αξιοσημείωτα κάνει τον ήχο hi-fi διαθέσιμο σε όλους τους συνδρομητές της Apple Music. Επί του παρόντος, η Apple Music κοστίζει επίσης 10,99 $ το μήνα στις ΗΠΑ.

Θα πληρώνατε περισσότερο για ήχο χωρίς απώλειες στο Spotify ή θα σκεφτόσασταν να μεταβείτε στην Apple Music;

hehe funny tv man

obsessed with this quote btw

version w/o text below cut:

“In light of everything that’s happened in the past three months alone, here’s some incredibly valid reasons to be pissed off at Taylor Swift, or simply not like her — as someone who loved her, and loved her music. First and foremost, Taylor Swift is personally burning a hole through the ozone with the amount of CO2 she uses. That’s not even the main point of this video; but this is a graph from 2022 of how much CO2 she produced of her 170 private jet flights, versus the average person. She has spent 70 grand on jet fuel alone. Taylor Swift, alone has used 170 tons of CO2 in the past 3 months. The average person only burns like, 16 tons. That’s not even the main part of this video. The main point of the video is the fact that she has not spoken up about Palestine. And the reason that is so fundamentally frustrating is that Taylor Swift has influence. Quote Brittany Broski, when she also didn’t speak up about Palestine — “if you have a platform, and you have people listening, you have to use it.” It’s criminal to not use it, and Taylor Swift uses it. This is from September 2023. Record-breaking registration numbers from one Instagram post. Literally stating, saying “I’ve been so lucky to see so many of you guys at my US shows recently. I’ve heard you raise your voices, and I know how powerful they are. Make sure you’re ready to use them in our elections this year!” They had a 72(%) increase in 18-year-old registrations. When it comes to Palestine, she’s completely silent. And now that it’s somewhat more socially acceptable to attend Pro-Palestine events, she’s been quietly going with Selena Gomez, but I for one, think that your Instagram is perhaps the best asset you have. If not, money. And I’m sure in a couple months, we’ll learn about how Taylor Swift was quietly setting up foundations for pro-Palestine, and that she was always for the cause and she’s always supported them, but all it takes is one fucking Instagram post. Especially when Israel Palestine is fundamentally a war of narratives. It’s whose story do you believe, despite the mounting evidence that proves that Israel has continuously been doing ethnic cleansing and genocide. They are still maintaining this narrative that they are not doing that. And all Taylor Swift has to do is say “hey, 22 thousand deaths in 3 months? The most in any modern war? This doesn’t seem right.” I don’t even want her to be that leftist or radical, but literally just to ask the question to her largely American audience, when US has bypassed Congress twice to sell millions in arms aid to Israel.  Just for her to be like “Should that many kids be dying, perhaps?” The bar is on the floor, but she still refuses to do it. And the reason why Taylor Swift in particular, not because of the influence that she has and not because of the platform that she has, but why her in particular, is because the IDF continues to use her songs. I know it was a public trend, but the fact that so many occupation forces felt comfortable and confident  to make like, dance edits to Taylor Swift’s music. I think it’s so important how an artist’s music is used because when the republicans wanted to use Eminem’s 8 mile track, he was like “absolutely fucking not, I do not give you consent to do that, and I do not associate with your politics. Don’t do that.” I feel like she should know that her music is being used as the anthem of the occupation forces as they go and bomb civilians. Her, and other artists like her, like Beyonce, who showed her film in Israel, and they’re all like dancing and singing, and saying “you’re not going to break my soul”, whilst they continue to bomb the shit out of civilians have said nothing. And I hope, as I’ve demonstrated in the video, for the people who are going to be like “What’s Taylor swift going to do? She’s not a politician.” Be serious. Be serious. She has a fucking chokehold on at least a billion people. She could’ve said and done way more than what she’s done, and also the CO2 levels." (from: this tiktok*)

“You will not kill the hope in us. Freedom for Palestine”

Baladicenter, a continuation of Baladi Dance Group, was established in 1991 in Beit Jala, Palestine. Founded by a group of promising young people, with a mission to preserve and pass down their rich Palestinian heritage through generations, consolidating and strengthening the Palestinian identity. The group emerged in response to the occupation authorities' attempts to deny and erase the ancient roots and heritage of the Palestinian people.

Please consider buying a Keffiyeh* to support expanding local productions and keep the traditions of Palestine alive. They're currently restocking and hope to get orders out soon.

*Either spelling appears acceptable.

The dance is interspersed with footage of the Great March of Return where young men danced a Dabke circle under gunfire and tear gas from the Occupation Forces, and the civilian defiance of First Intifada, whose 36th anniversary was commemorated on December 8th.

Glory to the Martyrs! 🇵🇸

Glory to the Resistance! 🇵🇸

From River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
