If it sounds as good as Tidal which I switched to from Spotify because it was twice as good in terms of sound quality then I'd definitely be interested - especially if the price is right
I also switched from Spotify to Tidal. I've grown to love Tidal as it's grown and improved since its inception. But I do miss the lack of personalised recommendations that Spotify was sooo much better at. But for me, it was the SQ that swung it.
I've read some feel that Apple Music sounds slightly better than Spotify despite a slightly lower bitrate, which brings us back to the old nugget these arguments often fall back to: mastering. And that it why Tidal's MQA offerings really interest me because of the "A" of MQA.
But what matters to me may not amount to more than a hill of beans. What matters is how Spotify's turning its attention to CD-quality sound will affect footfall levels from Tidal back to Spotify and how this impacts the bottom line on their respective balance sheets. Despite Tidal's faults, it really has led the way as far as SQ is concerned and for that alone, I hope it hangs in there.
