The newly launched Spotify Lossless delivers audio quality of up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz FLAC. People often say CD quality is 16-bit/44.1kHz. Spotify Lossless also uses 44.1kHz, but it has a higher bit depth. This means it can capture more fine details in the music. So technically, Spotify Lossless can be even better than CD quality. As for how to download Spotify Lossless audio as FLAC files, Spotify's official offline feature does not allow downloads in FLAC format. You will need to use some third-party tools, such as TuneCable Spotify Downloader(available for Windows, Mac, and Android), to download and convert the music to FLAC format.
