Bebe 16,782 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm not so sure this will be the disaster some users here are predicting it will be. We will see how it fares and we will see if it really is a platform that will properly support artists in the coming months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luiz 4,253 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 question : is it possible for Tidal to have exclusive songs? like if LG5 came out but you only could get certain bonus tracks through tidal. I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SychosSoChic 9,995 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Still don't know how I feel about it all, still don't know if, if I was an artist, would I join in on Tidal? But Jay-Z seems to know what he's doing, and I don't think Beyonce would put her name on something that would flop, even if it's her Husband's business venture. Life ain't Hollywood for any one of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gagzus 14,453 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 bare in mind people found out that if you sign up with twitter you can make more & more accs to use the free trial with... so their users may increase but it doesn't necessarily mean they're all different people & not to mention people can record sound from their CPU to leak the albums free on PirateBay etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
