Does Spotify Accept 24bit?

Spotify is the world’s most popular streaming service which provides access to millions of songs and podcasts. It is used by both music lovers and professionals for playback, discovery, and sharing of audio content.

One of the most common questions asked about Spotify is whether it supports 24-bit audio or not.

Spotify streams audio at a bitrate of 160kbps, which is considered to be lower than CD quality audio (which is encoded at a bitrate of 1,411kbps). That said, this does not mean that Spotify does not support 24-bit audio.

Spotify does have the capability to stream 24-bit audio files. However, it requires a specific encoding process in order for the files to be streamed properly. This encoding process includes downsampling the original 24-bit audio file to 16-bit and then compressing it using the MP3 format before uploading it to Spotify.

In addition, while some streaming services may offer support for high-resolution audio formats like FLAC or ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec), Spotify only supports MP3 files with a bitrate up to 320 kbps.

Therefore, while Spotify does not natively support 24-bit audio files, with an appropriate encoding process users can still stream high-resolution music on the platform.

Conclusion:
Yes, Spotify can accept 24-bit music files but they need to be encoded properly before they can be uploaded and streamed on the platform.
