LIVE UPDATES: Rihanna, Madonna, Beyonce, Kanye, Jay Z (and more) announce TIDAL

[Jesse Pinkman 4,660]

​Yes! It's from their Tidal meeting

 

 

 i have to watch this when I get home.

[Harry 26,836]

All those millionaires being together to ask for more money... And they ask people like us, who don't even get in a month what they earn in a day thanks to streaming.

I hope that sh*t is going to flop and all those cupid people are going to lose huge money in it. 

Well ​I hope you're happy when all these huge artists pass on and all the careers of the newer ones die out before they even start because music will no longer be a profitable profession.

Stop being so transparent. It's not just about Beyonce, Jay Z etc. Maybe they are doing it for their own benefit, and if they are then power to them. That won't change our lives. It's about respect for artists in general.

So to sum it up they want more money then the millions and millions of dollars they already have. They should be grateful they have as much money as they have. While the rest of the 98% of world is barely able to pay their bills and put food on their tables. The idea. The product seems interesting and cool. But it's all just a sham for them to get more money they think they deserve

​Most of you are so stuck with the idea that this whole Tidal thing is about a few billionaire artists making more money, and it isn't. Look at the whole industry, the decline in sales, money and quality of music. They aren't just looking out for themselves but fixing a mistake mistake Spotify made with percentage deals which affects the whole industry. For the consumer Spotify is a great deal. But artists don't get a fair cut. Hence, Tidal. More creative control, and the profit to the right people.

And both of you probably make a lot more money than the poorest person living on your street. Do you also stop eating because they skip meals?

[NewYorkCity 10,530]

oh look, another great advance!

​The 9.99$ option offers 96kps quality.  

WTF are they thinking?

​No it doesn't, if you use the free 30-sec preview on their webplayer you get 96kbps quality.

[Darcklighter22 2,353]

​You get standard HQ sound quality, 320kbps, unlimited high definition music videos, expertly curated editorial content and extra's (see OP) and you can try out the HiFi (FLAC, Lossless) service.

​The OP didn't mention the quality of the standard sub tho.

​seriously just that quality ? I would want to support it but if for the same price spotify has 320kps

​Funny how you're so full of understanding only because Madonna is on board.

I bet if Billboard starts taking Tidal streams into account for the chart, Madonna loons will say it's more valid than album sales.

[Betty Who 62]

I was so against this until I seen Daft Punk is on there, lmao. 

​They're the only reason I'm really bothered with this tbh

​Haha! Delusional. If Gaga was an owner, all of you would be saying this is a "revolution". 
And Billboard will be taking Tidal streams into account.

BYE

​You tried to discredit his post on the basis of an assumption. Why don't you try to address any of the actual points he made?

[jojuun 4,159]

oh look, another great advance!

​Could easily be edited or manipulated first of all, and secondly, it's very possible, since it's HiFi quality music.

[Spock 20,290]

The original "executive artists", as they call them, have financial interest and own 3% of shares of Tidal each. Interesting.

​NOw your just being hateful. I as a musician LOVE this! This beats spotify hands down for us working in the business. This is FAR more than just a few billionares. It's as musicians, engineers, etc that will profit more from this.

​Madonna stans are so annoying. I can't wait for this to flop like Rebel Heart did.
