I cancelled my Spotify subscription when all the Joe Rogan nonsense was going on. Eventually switched to Tidal because I do need streaming music. I listen to hours and hours of music at work and home. Also I like poking around discovering new stuff.
The shuffle and random for Tidal sucks. But I’ve been happy with it and typically just pick albums or artists I want to dig into before buying something from them.
How is music discovery on tidal? I’ve been looking for an alternate music streamer with good music discovery. I tried apple music, but the discovery on there was utter shit. I mostly listen to Spotify DJ. Anything similar on tidal?
I used Tidal briefly for a few weeks while trialing various music streaming services for my teenagers. Tidal recommended a lot of good shit based on previous listens. Too bad they incorporate videos though.
I think it’s ok. They have a daily discovery, but seems to lean towards what you are currently listening to and not your entire music history. The new release channel is decent, lets you hear new music from artists you listen to must. Although “new release” might mean remastered or just added to Tidal, not technically new.
The shuffle is absolutely garbage.
I’m very happy with the sound quality for me. But I’m actually using a setup to utilize it, a DAC and such. It’s certainly overkill for an average listener or in the car over cell service. You can download tracks locally to get the highest quality. But not even my snooty ass is doing that for a car ride. Also not all tracks are available in high quality, lots are but don’t expect some small indie band to be available in the best quality.
