22 March 2024
It's a Premium-only feature, however.

I've tried many music players. No any player can beat built in Windows 11 Media Player. Just enable the equalizer and select bass boost. You will enjoy it with some decent headphones or earphones.

      I don't see it yet. Is it not yet on Windows?

              Lossless is pointless, why would they add it? It would cost a lot more in bandwidth for no gain, you cannot tell the difference between 320kbps MP3 and lossless 99% of the time.

              There's other features like group listening that is still missing from desktop versions of the app.

                Clowns from spotify doing everything but not what their paying customers request - Lossless audio!

Most browsers are Chromium-based these days, which means even the smallest running browser app also kicks off the full 4GB of background services coming with the browser. That can be impractical if you're busy maxxing your hardware utilisation with a game.

                  I like these miniaturised players. If they're done right.
