But the price points are the same as those with middle men and no free version
but again the fan pays the same price as spotify more if someone has the free version of spotifyNevermind i think it just means hes gunna say some ? on Twitter about tidal
Jay always makin a big deal about anytime he tweets
ok but while you are growing actually explain what someone paying 9.99 or 19.99 actually gets that they can't get on a free version of grooveshark, spotify, or pandora

I touched on this earlier. All these lossless rips (WAV, FLAC and I believe OGG, iTunes has their own lossless ripper as well if memory serves me right) are are literally the uncompressed (or mostly uncompressed) direct rip of a CD. Assuming you're listening to an album that's total storage tops out at 700 MB, the corresponding rip will total 700 MB or somewhere close to that. Then we have the lossy formats, the most commonly used being mp3 and m4a (MPEG 4 Audio), both of which can be ripped at variable bitrates (all iTunes releases are VBR rips) to, to the closest extent, match the audio of the product that it ripped without losing too much unneed information. Or some might say ? it and rip at a constant bitrate of 320. I understand that there are audiophiles out there, but again, what is the point of not only paying more for audio that's difference is largely unnoticeable, but also possibly maxing out your bandwith earlier with less content (assuming one's service is limited aka most that's sole internet connection is via a phone company).
Let's say an album ripped by iTunes collectively tops out at 150 MB whereas a lossless rip of the same album tops at the 80 min/700 MB mark (upwards of 4.6 times larger), economically what's the point? I mean, if one has the money to blow then more power to em but whatever. This is waaaaay more than I wanted to contribute to this stupid ass thread.
Also, someone mentioned earlier that this is HD audio. That IS NOT the case. This ? is SD, standard definition. PERIOD! If you buy into that ? otherwise your ass has been duped.
That's not accurate. Lossless is a compressed file but it does not loose the important data. It decompresses upon playback like a mp3. The file size is much smaller say a 700mb cd would be 500mb. A Wav is uncompressed and is a direct rip. You can also get a higher quality rip (24bits) from an LP. Also, flac can contain multiple channels so you can also get a 5.1 mix.
Did I not say "or mostly uncompressed"? >_>
Actually you did, but you through me off when you were talking about the mb. You didn't mention the variation in space. Also only one format is uncompressed which is wav so it's pointless speaking on that since nobody uses it for general playback other then djs. -

Yea I was generalizing on purpose (like I said in that post I was investing way more time to this thread than I wanted to), tryna to get somewhat of an understanding to those out there about the topic. We both know there's entirely too much more that would've went into explaining this differences between formats. -

Oh he only set up a scholarship fund for Sean Bell's kids, dedicated a verse to Delroy Wilson,etc. But let some of ya'll tell it -
Tidal needa branch into the porn industry too. That would set it off. #TidalFacts

Now you going to get scam spam emails saying, I'm a Nigerian Prince, also Jay-Z's cousin, if you give me money for a tidal investment opportunity. In return, I will give you millions.

I haven't used pandora in a few years but can you get access to full albums or download playlists and albums for offline play?
As far as spotitfy at this point it's just a matter of preference. Like coke or Pepsi -
^It aint even that deep for me. I dont hate the man but i also dont worship him.
Yeah some on here are hating too hard but some are cape'n too.
I honestly would sign up for Tidal if i didn't already have a Spotify subscription.
Im just here for ? and giggles. -
Wow...Jay znever tweets more than twice about a topic lol (except for w/Magna carta)
Also when Jay z is startin sentences with 'my cousin just moved to Nigeria', nggas is panicking.

Why is this thread so long
And from what i picked up, this is an attempt to create an additional vessel for artists to make money. Emphasis on additional. You talkin bout whats "owed", well ppl actually are getting paid off your streams, even if it aintthe artists. Paiid .its not the fans fault yall getgin ? by these labels and advertisers
This read like a pity pity for consumers to recoup some of what these artists are actually owed from these big entities.
Get your chips but miss me with the pity party. We aint why yall gettin ? pennies per unit or per stream -
i just subscribed because of the hate.
for How long, idk. The app still has lots of work to do. Certain content, u cant listen too offline.
But the hate is strong. ? just brought the app less than a month ago... Its suppose to be doing rhapsody, spotify #'s???
Gtfoh.
If ya dont see the blatant smear campaign...
