shellylh Posted March 22, 2015 Report Posted March 22, 2015 Finally got Tidal setup on the SB Touch via ickstream. It's working pretty well so far. 4 Quote
robm321 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) No FLAC for $10. Got my hopes up. Edited March 30, 2015 by robm321 Quote
blessingx Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Damn, so much for "According to the company's Twitter account, the drop in price doesn't mean that you'll get access to less, either. Subscriptions still include the same content, with high-definition streaming being the key feature."But most of the info and subscription pages are down so maybe some hope? Quote
blessingx Posted March 30, 2015 Report Posted March 30, 2015 Did state the below prices, but we now have live video announcing what's next?

shellylh Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 Taylor Swift (because of her notorious relationship with Spotify) Porcupine Tree Robert Fripp King Crimson (because of their notorious relationship with the digital download community, iTunes, etc.) Pineapple Thief (personal thing -- one of my favourite bands, possibly my favourite current band -- I have everything on Spotify and nothing on Tidal) And vice versa -- if you don't feel like signing up for a US trial, let us know which ones you're missing that you want one of us to look up, I'd be happy to. Some of Porcupine Tree's albums are on Tidal now. Is this new? Quote
VPI Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I have it on the top tracks streaming now. Seems to be a rap music service. For some reason the Oppo says it is streaming at 32/176.4. Finally decided to switch the screen to the Mini and find the Rival Sons album they talked about in Peter's link. Like it. Edited April 1, 2015 by VPI Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 Some of Porcupine Tree's albums are on Tidal now. Is this new? No, they had a couple (The Incident, Deadwing, In Absentia), but they're missing my favourites (Fear of a Blank Planet, Sky Moves Sideways, Stupid Dream, etc.). Ah, looks like they added one(1) Pineapple Thief album. 1 Quote
Torpedo Posted April 1, 2015 Report Posted April 1, 2015 I have renewed, actually started paying after the trial, my subscription. The classical music selection is rather poor, but I'm sure they'll improve the catalogue. I wish the search engine and the suggestions system were better. Quote
shellylh Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 By the way, Tidal is working much better on the Squeezebox Touch than Spotify ever did. I haven't had a problem with it since I got it running. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted April 2, 2015 Report Posted April 2, 2015 It's still April 1st somewhere out there to the West, innit? Quote
Grahame Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Posted April 14, 2015 Oh No you di'unt http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/04/12/mumford-sons-diss-jay-z-s-tidal.html Meanwhile prediction on reddit Tidal exists solely as an attempt to strong-arm Apple into an acquisition - It's a brilliant pump an dump scheme by Jay Z & Co.Here's how it's gonna go down -The Tidal artists that can, will start putting exclusive content on Tidal for streaming. Apple can't ignore them because that is the strategy they are going to use to get traction for whatever they turn Beats into.Instead of trying to lock down streaming rights to each individual artist Apple can just buy Tidal and get them all.Jay Z laid out about $56mil to buy Tidal, will sell for around $1b.Bam about 18x return on investment. Jay Z is a fucking genius. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted April 14, 2015 Report Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah, but did you see this tracklisting? It's silly. Quote

postjack Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 I just hope they continue to provide 16/44 streaming, even though that's apparently not the marketing focus anymore. Don't fuck this up for me Jay-Z. 4 Quote
Grahame Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Posted April 21, 2015 ...Spectacular Flop... https://bgr.com/2015/04/21/tidal-vs-pandora-vs-spotify/ Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted April 22, 2015 Report Posted April 22, 2015 If so...oh well, it was good while it lasted. I just hope they continue to provide 16/44 streaming, even though that's apparently not the marketing focus anymore. Don't fuck this up for me Jay-Z. Agree. Quote
CarlSeibert Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) I dint think it was so bad that Lefsetz didn't "get" Tidal. But that Jay-Z doesn't seem to understand it it either is disturbing. Sigh. Edited April 23, 2015 by CarlSeibert Quote
