[Desktop] Support for additional file types such as AIFF and WAV

Submitted by on ‎2020-04-11 11:28 AM
Status: Implemented

A few people have mentioned this before but i think it would be really useful to be able to import (or at least convert on importing) additional music files such as WAV or AIFF. I have had to switch to Apple Music to do this but would prefer to stay with Spotify. Thanks!

I literally cannot think of any sensible reason on why spotify does not have this feature. Also, to stream FLAC songs would be a game-changer to HiFi streaming competition.

I just randomly tried to add a new local folder and... awesome, Spotify does play local FLAC files now!

(version 1.1.52.687.gf5565fe5, macOS)

(also works on 1.1.53.608.g7ed9c03a)
