Interesting move, if it happens...

Yes, interesting, we're on it! Have put a call in to Tidal's UK PR, trying to confirm the details. They made no mention of it when I interviewed the Tidal guys at CES - wish I'd known.

Tidal at the Headroom show today/tomorrow... will be interesting to see if they know any more!

 

[Alec]

Never heard of it.

 

[BenLaw]

Never heard of it.

It's a rapper.

Never heard of it.

It's a rapper.

With lots of money.

Alec was saying he'd never heard of tidal not jay-z, same here but then I don't and won't be subscribing any time soon to any music streaming sites.

Different but relevant. Sony and Spotify have announced a deal to bring Spotify natively to PS34, should mean you can control via Spotify Connect. I'm chuffed.

Not so sure about Tidal yet, its been confirmed that a good chunk of their catalogue is not HiRes, you can't advertised based on that then admit not everything is.

It's not advertised as HiRes, more like CD quality streaming which it is and does very well. I have used it on & off for a few months now, once the content has expanded it may become my main source of music.

I'm sure his utmost priority will be adding back the ECM catalog.
