Anyone seen this..?
Im on mobile so cant link...but search for the video.
Basically a new type spotify which is owned by a group of pop stars which charges listeners $20 subscription.
Their whole idea is that this is artists owning the platform and delivering the best music and quality to the fans.
They diss spotify by saying their platform isnt owned by a corporate company that has advertising on it....but they fail to mention that spotify is free for the fans and theirs isn't
plus the press conference is a fuckin joke...they make it out like they are the founding fathers and signing the decleration of independence...sad, lost and out of touch pop stars!
Also...why do some women is pop music feel its appropriate to always look like whores??

Or to have a sneaky 'listen and learn' for band tracks..
Tidal claims that it has hi res audio streams for 20 quid a month. If they can rival the catalogue of Spotify, that may tempt me. I also like the idea that they claim the artist gets more money than from SPotify.
I will keep an eye on it. Similarly watching Neil Young's Pono and Trent Reznor's Daisy. Both hi res formats.

I'm talking about studio master grade reslution. 24 bit audio. I've got all the kit to play it, and it sounds ace. The last NIN album was released on 24bit studio master, and it sounds really good, quite different to the CD.

now, if they had come out and said, this is not for profit business, and the subscription you pay goes only to artists and maintaining the product...then that would make me buy into their ideals...but its not...its basically a bunch of rich people wanting to get richer by using their names to exploit other artists and fans.

I would think that most people get into Spotify with the free service, and then upgrade to the paid one to get more than 10 hours per month and to lose the ads.
As there doesn't appear to be a free service on Tidal then I think most new punters are likely to join Spotify.
If Tidal pays the artists significantly more per play than Spotify then I can see artists pulling their music from Spotify. If enough big artists do that then they might be able to persuade paying customers to switch.
