"Jay Z is looking to get out. This ambitious undertaking has cost him millions of his own money because he never got the expected funding"

I guess Beyonce will have to be the main breadwinner in that marriage now, lol.

He may make more money than her, but wasn't she basically the "breadwinner" for all intents and purposes anyway? :hunty:

Smart move, Jay-Z.  Maybe he could do something cool like Dr. Dre's Beats, focus on respecting artists by offering a way to improve the quality of their sound. Hell, maybe he could think out of the box as he has done before and do something with music that hasn't been done before.

He surely has the resources and access to the right connections to get it done. If he wants to provide music in a way to benefit artists, there ought to be a way that is practical to current technology, not redundant as other music services in the business, and competitive in a market struggling to reinforce the value of their product but need to rethink how to package it to meet demand or lack thereof.

Welp, it's not like everyone didn't see that coming! 

Where's Nicki, with her cries of racism now? No one wanted to mess with an unfamiliar start up service,  when they already had spotify. Apple was the only service that could compete, due to people being familiar with the brand and ease of service. Tidal never had a chance. I can't believe so many artists thought it did, just because JayZ was associated with it. :smh:

Drake was smart to listen to Jimmy and Gaga was smart to stay out of this Tidal mess! Stick with Jimmy, Gaga, he knows what he is doing!

I wonder why the service is still available 

If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

What they could have done was instead of making this purely a music streaming platform, they could have made a streaming channel like Hulu or Netflix to promote music videos and performances at a marketable price, competitive with other video streaming services.

Also, with this sort of thing coming mostly from the artists, they would be in a prime spot to provide behind the scenes specials, interviews they approved of, trailers or teasers for their upcoming albums. They could make it free by allowing artists (copyrights and royalties covered), established and new, put commercials on for their music as any business and give artists the widespread promotion they need via online and with global reach that cable or otherwise could not extend.  

Reinvent MTV for the digital age, because I feel music videos are such big productions to only be viewed on YouTube, Vevo, and others.  Indeed, there are competitors, but since they'd be coming from the artists, it might bring an edge to their material people are attracted to. And it would especially be attractive for each of their established fan bases, while maintaining the quality in their work they are most satisfied with and guess what, release material as they see fit and without pressure from labels or promoters to keep up with marketing seasons. I understand companies like Place were trying to capitalize on this demand through their social network and in some ways, it did have an audience. However, people were attracted to these artists through their music and performances in the first place.  Even the teasers that got people interested in LM.com or even Gaga's attempted app, came with a promise of new or unreleased music people could hear no where else.  

Let us face it, fans of artists are always itching for new music whether released officially or leaked online. So instead of record labels and artists sitting on those unreleased material they don't plan use, they could put enough work on them to make them listenable and then provide through this streaming video service as a way to promote artists and keep fans interested even during an artist's hiatus or off promoting season.  

If Tidal was packaged differently and offered the material without costing too much to the customers, it might have gotten footing to sustain a market and at the same time update their methods and keep up with technology and where the hot money is. That's how you save the music industry, by applying new ideas of delivery with the same great music we enjoy, not by trying to resell the same dead horse on the same broken wagon.
