Another single from Taylor Swift’s massively popular 1989 has been named, so it’s safe to say it’ll be impossible to drive anywhere without hearing the song, Wildest Dreams, on the radio soon. The big reveal came Wednesday on Twitter with Swift building as much suspense as one possibly can in 140 characters or less.

Of the four singles Taylor Swift’s 1989 has spawned so far, only Style has failed to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart; Shake It Off, Blank Space, and Bad Blood have all sat at the top spot, according to Billboard, with Blank Space occupying that position for seven weeks and Shake It Off for four. Wildest Dreams will now have its chance to vie for the honor.

Swift’s 1989 singles have covered topics ranging from ignoring the haters to acknowledging betrayal, and her latest single will delve into the anticipation of a relationship’s end. It’s one of Swift’s most mature songs to date. Lyrics include, “I said, ‘No one has to know what we do’ / His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room” and “You see me in hindsight / Tangled up with you all night / Burning it down.”

Swift named her latest single on Twitter on Aug. 5.

Since 1989 debuted in October 2014, the album has become the best seller of 2014 and 2015 so far, according to Nielsen Music. Last month, 1989 hit the 5 million in U.S. sales mark, making it the fastest album to do so in over a decade. Swift has also claimed the honor of being the quickest to 1 billion views on Vevo, thanks to the success of her Blank Space music video.

What is hi-res audio, and how can you experience it right now?

High-resolution audio, hi-res audio, or even HD audio -- whatever you decide to call it (for the record, the industry prefers "hi-res audio"), it's a catch-all term that describes digital audio that goes above and beyond the level of sound quality you can expect from a garden-variety MP3 file and even CDs. It was once strictly the domain of audiophiles, but now that major streaming music services like Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, and Qobuz have embraced it, almost everyone can take advantage of what hi-res has to offer.

But what exactly is hi-res audio? What equipment do you need to listen to it? Where can you download or stream it? And does it actually sound better? We've got the answers.
What does the term 'hi-res audio' mean?

How to download music from Spotify for offline listening
How to download music and podcasts from Spotify: The downloads folder.

If you're a Spotify Premium user paying that premium Spotify fee, chances are you've taken at least some time curating playlists, liking songs, and using the platform's easy-to-use (and recently revamped) user interface to discover new and old music.

But sometimes all that music or your favorite podcasts aren't available if you find yourself without an internet connection to stream them from — like on a long plane ride or weekend camping trip in the sticks. That's where Spotify's offline listening feature comes in handy, allowing you to download playlists, albums, and podcasts through its desktop and mobile apps so you can still rock out while you're off the grid.

How to switch from Spotify to Apple Music
Spotify and Apple Music transfer on a smartphone.

Spotify is the world's most popular music streaming service for a reason. It has a massive catalog of music and podcasts, is full of cool music discovery and sharing features, and is really easy to use.
However, with its recent price increase and the fact that it still hasn't joined most of its peers in offering a hi-res audio quality option, you may be considering jumping ship for its closest competitor, Apple Music, which counts lossless hi-res tracks, mind-bending spatial audio, Dolby Atmos Music tracks, and a catalog that rivals Spotify's among the many attractive reasons to switch.

But there's one problem: you’ve spent a lot of time creating playlists and marking songs and albums as your favorites in Spotify. Is it worth the switch? Will all that hard work be lost in translation?
