JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I put this here because to me this is only a rumor and not a news story. Samsung in talks to purchase TIDAL. With Kanye West's new exclusive release on TIDAL the service grew from one million subscribers to 2.5 million subscribers. Spotify and Google are also in talks not to buy Tidal but to form a partnership to help their streaming services, like a TIDAL powered by Spotify brand. T.I. Has also signed with Roc Nation and made a partner in TIDALs streaming service. Seems like TIDAL is coming out of its FLOP era. http://nypost.com/2016/02/25/samsung-restarting-tidal-acquisition-talks/ http://www.xxlmag.com/video/2016/02/samsung-in-talks-to-buy-tidal/ "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." -Martin Luther King Jr. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
venusfly 17,885 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 It's unlikely to be a rumor, if they do buy it then RIP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 1 minute ago, LG said: It's not a rumor, as NYPost says they are actually in talks.

venusfly 17,885 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Just now, just4fun said: A spokesperson for Samsung said: “It is our policy to not comment on rumors or speculation.” ah ok, NYP says "Both Samsung and Tidal declined comment." which is usually the standard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvnrp 48,353 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I still don't think that HiFi streaming has much of a mass appeal. It may have its niche but it'll nowehere grow as big as Spotify/Google Play Music/Apple Music are, even with Celeb support. Even with Samsungs infinite cash I feel like it won't succeed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mucinex 4,260 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 beyonce+kanye+rihanna+nicki+etc giving exclusive music(/videos) to Tidal is a pretty good reason, Samsung might actually make people want to use it, I mean, there are Apple Music exclusives, but not many people do those, and Spotify is pretty versatile with not many exclusives, so it could be good for Samsung, competition wise Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best headsets or speakers. I agree with you in that sense, but it's growing as a streaming service thanks to its "exclusives."

Pablo 7,317 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Maybe it will turn out like Beats Music and get bought out by apple and never heard of from again. I think Tidal has some good ideas but we already have so many music subscription companies that we don't need anymore . Exclusive Tidal releases are weird because you should be allowed to purchase music! Don't visit my profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 94,546 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 It's an awful idea. It's not like Apple Music and Beats Music, Beats Music was never a hated and humiliated music service, Apple never had to bring it from the dead. It would be better if they started a new service from scratch. If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levine 22,452 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I don't know y'all, but I can't stand anymore Tidal, Jay z, Beyoncé, Kanye, Rihanna and all this little group of brat and spoiled people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardevoir 9,632 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 This whole Tidal mess. This is so ridiculous and cringeworthy that I can't treat any of these 'artists' from the conference serious. Bunch of idiots to be honest. I don't think Samsung will help in this case. Sugar, spice, and everything nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 102,192 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Honestly the service is good but I'd never support them because of the people involved lmao. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
