Spotify has no control of the % of the money which artists receive from streaming, it's down to the labels, they make the majority of the money from streaming and give artists a tiny %, that's what needs to change, not releasing a more pretentious more expensive version under the guise of "doing it for the listeners" when it's quite clearly about the money

But they want £19.99 a month direct debit

Is far to early
as you need to find out who has gone on tidal

Yes but its Worldwide
so will tick over.


£19:99 a month

is too High
as I would want Jim Hendrix in 5.1 DTS
they can not do that

Smacks of greed; if that stage had been Jay Z and a bunch of left field artists who deserve promotion then it might not seem as appalling.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the standard bitrate 160 for Spotify streaming, and the 'extreme' you get with premium is 320.

160kbps is abysmal, and lossless is better than 320 - though you need good headphones to tell the difference.

Tidal Premium edition costs the same as Spotify's premium edition, both at 320kbps (which really should be standard). Whether wanted or not, you're getting video streaming with that too. It at least equals out.

Tidal is already being called a monumental flop after not even being able to hang onto a place in the Top 700 on iTunes/App store

Good. Smh at Will and Regine for associating themselves with it.

I'm so glad it's forcast to flop, I hate being a debbie downer but most involved are literally multi millionaires and the whole project screams greed to me.

Just announced Jay Z has left tidal :laugh3:

What a mess, I cannot

Messy

Nawt him dropping the sinking ship

el oh el
