I've been using Spotify for a while and thought I'd give Tidal a try, just to see what the differences were.
- It was hard to get past their trial paywall to download the app
- Once I got signed up it took a while to discover that you can't stream to CCA from their desktop app. That was disappointing.
- I loaded their page via Chrome so I could stream to my CCA. It was ok, but you can't stream Master from here. You have to it connected from the thick client. Frustrating.
-Hi-fi sounded ok, but nothing better than Spotify Premium
-The last straw was when I loaded the app on my iPhone. It had a hard time connecting to my CCA and then the app crashed 4 times in a row.
- I cancelled my Tidal subscription and deleted the app. Happily and easily streaming Spotify again.
- The one feature Tidal has that Spotify doesn't have is artist and album info. I love reading liner notes, but it's not on Spotify. This seems like something people want - Spotify should enable this.
So that's the end of my Tidal experience. If I were recommending Spotify or Tidal to a new user, Spotify Premium seems to work much better. YMMV of course (just one guy's POV).
