Tidal hifi 10 of april

[gasolin]

10 of april we only have one type of tidal subscription, tidal hifi, either for one user or a familiy for the lowest price, no premium price for tidal hifi anymore. (i thought it was 10 of april)

What do you expect ?

Do we get something extra or is it just tidal hifi that doesn't cost almost twitce the price of tidal (non hifi)

What did we get ?

You get:
"All current TIDAL plans feature Max sound quality formats such as full lossless, HiRes FLAC, and Dolby Atmos (up to 24-bit, 192 kHz)".
The old Tidal lower tier was still Hi-Fi as it was up to 16/44.1... which is still considered Hi-Fi.
Now you've got 'super' Hi-Fi for a reduced price.
... but many files are still MQA and so I say Tidal sucks until the entire catalog is FLAC.
I'll stick with Qobuz thank you.

See prince albert's March 4 post a few threads down. Tidal had to stay competitive with Amazon Unlimited and Qobuz. Amazon stopped charging extra for their HD and ultra HD in 2022, I believe it was, and Qobuz late last year -I believe it was.

Amazon was the only one that offers a lower-net-cost annual fee, although Qobuz, I believe does for their premium rate plan.

They all discriminate against single types who are subsidizing the duo and family subscribers.

On July 24, 2024, we will replace the music in TIDAL's MQA catalog with FLAC versions.

I’ve been using Tidal for a month or so & the offline listening/downloads is really buggy on my iPhone.

The other buggy stuff I can just about live with. I might go back to only using Tidal for hifi listening & stick to Spotify for everyday listening. But then I’m paying for 2 subscriptions & have to re-acquaint myself with the ui every time I use tidal 😠

That's odd. I had no problems on listening to downloaded music from Tidal on my Android phone - I created downloaded playlists, and used it on holiday, listened to them through Android Auto in my car hire - I made sure to display only downloaded music.

Perhaps its a specific iPhone issue.
