I've been a long-time Spotify user, and to be honest I don't know if this new service will take over. But Jay Z + Co. know hot to tease...

20$ per month seems quite high for a generation that used to downloading music for free. This might turn more people to Spotify.

it will depend on the music available.
if it is run by Jay Z it will probably be mostly a load of wank
- Is it OK if I don't know all of the people on the video?ORAZAL
- ...and don't care for the music of the ones I do know.ORAZAL
- it's ok, you are not the target audienceuan

High quality stream = burn through data really fast.
- <EightyDeuce
- What really is "higher quality streaming" anyway? Can they prove it? Will you hear a difference? I smellz bullshit!utopian
- They have a video that shows you the differenceOSFA
- I took the test and failed.ORAZAL
- Spotlight is audibly bad quality. Even for paid high quality. It's sad.monospaced

Tidal gives equity stake to first-tier artists like Kanye West, Daft Punk, Beyonce, Rhianna, Coldplay, Calvin Harris, Madonna and more.
So the rich become richer.
Cool!
- Compared to Spotify where the artists get essentially nothing.nb
- pay $20 a month - artists needs money2002
- i buy vinyls and get mp3's with them - love it. haven't caught onto the streaming way of music yet.inteliboy
- do they not have enough money or something? what about me? i need to pay less for music.scarabin

Oh wait, the artists own it? Do they actually own it, or is that just marketing BS?
If artists own it, it's doomed.

Will Kanye West tunes still blow?

Same scam as Pono, just without the player. Might be successful but their sayings about quality are just outrageous lies.
Read this pono deconstruction: http://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/n…
As if Rihanna listeners would care about FLAC anyways.

Who's taken the test? http://test.tidalhifi.com
I did and failed. I'm keeping my Spotify account.

These "genius" musical artist types need to get their head out of their ass! All the consumers want is variety, and cheap pricing. Who the fuck cares about their BS high quality sound that no one will ever hear. Do these butt-nuts really think that their music matters that much?

I CALL BULLSHIT!They play two files:
http://test.tidalhifi.com/songs/…
http://test.tidalhifi.com/songs/…Both Files have same compression rates etc.
And no, you cannot hear a difference. Huge lie, they didn't even try to hide it.

- Here am I sitting, hoping for JayZ to come up with a revolutionary music compression algorithm,georgesIII

Wouldn't the lossy file be an MP3 re-encoded as a flac though?
Like if you compress a PNG to a JPEG then back to a PNG you now have a lossless version of a lossy image with the JPEG introduced artefacts perfectly preserved.
- However I genuinely don't think the general public give a shit about audio quality.animatedgif
- yep you got it. Also an uncompressed audio file containing a 24-bit/192kHz mp3 takes up six times more space than on an audio CD. And it has still lower qualitymekk

- I got 2/5 on the test, so I guess theres no need for me to sign up for it.animatedgif
- they just added bass and treble on the "high quality" sample, so you can hear more oomph with your beats headphones, thinking of good quality.mekk
