Linux Desktop Client Missing Lossless Audio Support

[jesse1231]

Hi Spotify Team,

I'm excited to see that lossless audio has finally started rolling out to Premium subscribers! However, I've noticed that the Linux desktop client appears to be missing this highly anticipated feature.

According to the September 10, 2025 announcement, lossless streaming is available on "mobile, desktop, and tablet" - but when I check my Linux Spotify client settings, there's no option to enable lossless quality under Media Quality settings. The highest available option is still "Very High" rather than the new "Lossless" setting mentioned in the announcement.

As a Linux user and Premium subscriber, I'd really appreciate having feature parity with other desktop platforms. Many Linux users are audiophiles who would greatly benefit from 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC streaming, especially since we often have high-quality audio setups.

Could you please confirm:

1. Is lossless support planned for the Linux desktop client?
2. If so, what's the expected timeline for this feature?
3. Are there any technical limitations preventing lossless on Linux specifically?

I understand the feature is rolling out gradually, but it would be great to know that Linux users aren't being left behind on this major Premium feature enhancement.

Thanks for your time and for continuing to improve Spotify!

Spotify please listen to your die-hard Linux users here and at least give us some direction as to if this is ever even going to come to Linux!
