Dusty Chalk Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 <-- Troll quote victim. Also, there's an update at the bottom of the article.
MexicanDragon Posted April 30, 2015 Report Posted April 30, 2015 So Apple charges an extra 30% for subscriptions to Tidal through the app... http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/04/tidal-has-already-raised-its-monthly-subscription-prices/ **BRENT**
Grahame Posted May 1, 2015 Author Report Posted May 1, 2015 Linn Ds owners (or possibly just those that download the kazoo app can get a complimentary 60 day trial of tidal. http://news.linn.co.uk/news/2014/12/linn-ds-now-integrates-with-tidal.php Does that help?
MexicanDragon Posted May 2, 2015 Report Posted May 2, 2015 So I get to work this morning, open up Tidal, and see Jack White's pre-hiatus Fargo concert as an exclusive. I enjoyed it. If on the app at least, click the gear for resolution options... I'm sure SQ goes up with the higher red options. **BRENT**
postjack Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 http://thirdmanrecords.com/news/tidal-subscription-promotion-for-vault-members Really great Tidal promotion for Third Man Vault subscribers. In an nutshell, if you are a subscriber to the Third Man quarterly vault subscription, you can enter a promo code to get Tidal HiFi for $5/month. If you aren't familiar with the vault, you subscribe and pay $60 per quarter, and quarterly they ship you some kind of awesome vinyl package. I've been subscribing since this summer, and if you like Jack White and third man type stuff the packages are awesome. Anyway, I had to cancel my account and start a new one to make the promo work, which sucks, but worth it to get Tidal for $5/month. 3
Hopstretch Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 I might deep six TIDAL. Find myself preferring Spotify for mobile and can get reliable 16/44.1 FLAC in browser from Qobuz on the desktop. You guys would love Qobuz, has a shit ton of jazz and classical. 1
Torpedo Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 I will probably ditch Tidal as well as soon as Qobuz gives service in Spain.
Genetic Posted May 5, 2015 Report Posted May 5, 2015 Bye bye Tidal. For jazz lovers there was no fun trying to find interesting selections in their catalogue. I dont have more success with Spotify but at least they offer a realy interesting choice of ''deep space'' electronica music. Amicalement P.S. Now maybe Qobuz....
Hopstretch Posted May 13, 2015 Report Posted May 13, 2015 Part of the charm of Qobuz is the translations from the original French. For example, it allows you to sort albums within a given genre by "Pertinence."
Grahame Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Posted June 9, 2015 Meanwhile "Apple Declares War on Tidal" according to that well known source, The Daily FMail http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3115680/Apple-faces-music-iPhone-make-unveiling-streaming-music-service-Spotify-Tidal.html

blessingx Posted June 24, 2015 Report Posted June 24, 2015 Bye bye Tidal. Well, same here. Just canceled my subscription before another month of charges. Man, in theory artist focused, CD-quality music sounds great, but I just couldn't deal with the interface. Discoverability dropped near zero for me - it's just using search for everything. Stuff I already knew. If any algorithm was learning my tastes I didn't see any evidence of it. Scrolling through videos and playlists I didn't care about every time to get to albums got old quickly, etc. Funny, the new Tidal (which admittedly hasn't existed long enough to reform experience) was about taking back control from the 'tech companies', but the tech failures are the problems at least for me. Admittedly for someone with different aims, including singles and newer artists-focus or simply finding already known music, it may work much better.Beats was about perfect for me on mobile - one-click access to a multitude of relevant albums (nice mix of known and unknown), though I'm sure Apple Music will unfortunately shift in days away off this. Lost MOG. Losing Beats. Time to review the options again. Will give Apple Music trial a try, but eyeing Rdio once more.One thing I have to give props to Tidal is their triple streaming quality settings. Great to separate Wifi streaming, cellular streaming and download quality. Wish more services did this. 1
blessingx Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 In case it's not known - Amarra for TIDAL http://www.sonicstudio.com/amarra/aft
jvlgato Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 Interesting, thanks! I may trial that. SQ is very quirky with Tidal, but sounds great when it works.
Dusty Chalk Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 They've added videos. Watching Daft Punk's Electroma now -- going to have to defer the rest, it's over an hour.
