Move over, tidal

How much music do I listen to that's on Chesky vs Warner and Sony on TIDAL?
The old dog isn't dead yet methinks |
This is good news. Tidal is already there. Now HDtracks is getting in the game, and Spotify is still making noise about getting in the hi-res game. I certainly hope the market will bear many entrants. That would be a positive sign for our hobby/obsession. If we are going to continue to attract a lot of new participants to this game, streaming is important.

Looking forward to hearing what folks think about the service, what the download rates are and what the format & resolution will be.

This development is welcome but poses many questions. They will have to offer many more titles than the limited number of hi-rez offerings on their current site. IMO they are going to take a hit on the current site since you will probably get a month of hi rez streaming for what they currently charge for 1 to 2 downloads. (Sure there will always be audiophiles who prefer to "own" rather than rent their music, but that number is dwindling.)
I think this shows if you want to survive or participate in the music market beyond that which caters to the niche audiophile segment, streaming is a must for the future. |

I agree but it makes me wonder what the y-t-y and last 3 year growth rates are for the current list of hi-Rez streaming subscriptions (like Deezer, Tidal Hi Fi), Pandora/Spotify etc low res subscriptions as well as physical media and download purchases. |

As I noted. Apple, Amazon and Google all have the financial wherewithal to survive BUT do they have any incentive to provide CD quality or higher? |
