Originally launching as a no-cost, ad-free alternative to other music streaming services, there was a hint that changes would be coming. Back in April, Samsung hinted that there would be a free version of Milk Music that would include ads, and a $4 premium version, which would eliminate them. Now, Samsung has made it official.

Paying $4 a month for Premium Milk will eliminate ads and give you the ability to listen to stations without having a network connection. In addition, Premium subscribers can perform unlimited skips, turn off DJ commentary, and pause Milk Music using a Sleep Timer. The update also includes performance enhancements and bug fixes.

You must have a Samsung account if you are to take advantage of the $4 per month offering. Milk Music remains a U.S.-only service, so if you’re interested in the service and live outside of the United States, you’re out of luck. In addition, Milk Music remains exclusive to select Samsung Galaxy devices.

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

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?
