5·8 days agoI’m curious what are you listening to that they don’t have? They have most commercial music with the exception of movie and game OSTs.
Classical music, hobbiest remixes or independent artists would be another category they don’t have as you need a contract with distributor to submit to Spotify.

53·10 days agoCreating two different copies of a file isn’t backward compatibility.
Well if you bothered to actually read you would know that is precisely not the case here. The JPEG XL file can be reconstructed to the exact same JPEG file, ensuring backward compatibility with legacy applications.
Now if you could open and view a jpeg xl file without having to upgrade your app/browser/whatever <…>
That would be forward compatability.

Technology@lemmy.zip•JPEG-XL Image Support Returns To Latest Chrome / Chromium CodeEnglish
51·10 days agoMoreover, JPEG XL includes several features that help transition from the legacy JPEG coding format. Existing JPEG files can be losslessly transcoded to JPEG XL files, significantly reducing their size (Fig. 1). These can be reconstructed to the exact same JPEG file, ensuring backward compatibility with legacy applications. Both transcoding and reconstruction are computationally efficient. Migrating to JPEG XL reduces storage costs because servers can store a single JPEG XL file to serve both JPEG and JPEG XL clients. This provides a smooth transition path from legacy JPEG platforms to the modern JPEG XL.

Technology@lemmy.zip•JPEG-XL Image Support Returns To Latest Chrome / Chromium CodeEnglish
10·10 days agoUp to 46% compared to PNG is more than a bit extra. It’s also supports both loseless and lossy compression and supports backwards compatability between legacy JPEG. Among many other modern features.
And PNG is so old that it lacks basic modern features like HDR support.
The only competition to JPEG-XL is AVIF. Though both likely to coexist as they have different strenghts.

Not even close. They basically added some basic restrictions that are easy to bypass and geoblocked the feature in countries that started investigations into it.
