### Spotify shares Premium audio details

Spotify CEO Daniel Ek offered rare details about Spotify’s plan for hi-def audio and a Premium tier.

“The plan here is to offer a much better version of Spotify,” said Ek on the call with investors. “Think something like $5 above the current premium tier. So it’s probably around a $17 or $18 price point, but sort of a deluxe version of Spotify that has all of the benefits that the normal Spotify version has, but a lot more control, a lot higher quality across the board, and some other things that I’m not ready to talk about just yet.”

“There’s a good subset of that group of 246 million subscribers that want a much better version of Spotify,” Ek continued. “Those are huge music lovers who are primarily looking for even more flexibility in how they use Spotify and the music capabilities that exist on Spotify.”
