OVERVIEW: Tidal - service with the music of the highest quality

Music / by admin / December 19, 2019

Tidal - is a service of streaming music playback. On the other it is distinguished by the quality of the tracks: here they can listen to FLAC format. We enjoyed the service for a few weeks and would like to share with you impressions.

There are two things that make a service Tidal learned almost everything. At least one of those who is interested in music.

The first - is to run the service testThe results of which were given to understand, whether you listen to high quality music or not. The test is really interesting and checks not only the quality of the equipment, but also your ears.

The second - is to buy a service Jay-Z. At the formal restart attended Coldplay, Rihanna, Kanye West, Jack White and other musical performers. All of them signed the contract about the exclusive publication of his new and old materials Tidal.

This is not to say that now we will not be able to hear the new album Coldplay in google Music or buy it in iTunes. But it is quite possible that there they will appear with a slight delay after the publication of Tidal.

So, Tidal.

Why Tidal - it's not cool

The point is price. Service available by subscription, with two of them: Premium and HiFi.

Premium. It costs $ 9.99 per month and offers normal quality sound. Same as in other streaming services.
HiFi. Zest Tidal. It costs $ 19.99 per month and allows you to listen to music in FLAC format.

These two types of subscriptions, except for the price, differ from each other only in sound quality. I would not buy the Premium subscription, since it does not give anything in comparison with the same Google Music service, the use of which will cost 250 rubles.

With HiFi is not so simple. I am sure that good sound equipment difference is enormous. Unfortunately, I can not think of an occasion for lovers of good sound stop rock music in FLAC format with torrents and move on Tidal.

As long as there is no service applications for Mac and Windows. Listen to music only on mobile devices or using the web version.

Why Tidal - it's cool

Perhaps one reason only - the sound quality. Tidal - is the only service streaming, playing music in FLAC format 1411 kbit / c. This dry figures, so talk about their experiences of using.

The first month of use Tidal free, and for me this period is now coming to an end. I frankly weak headphones Panasonic TCM 125. For comparison, they sound a little better than standard EarPods.

The difference in sound compared to Google Music I heard once. It is small, but I do not even count on it. The main difference is that the sound in the Tidal denser and clear. Alas, it is the lack of an advantage, given the shortcomings of the service.

I am interested to hear the views of avid music lovers, if the service is worth the money? And if not, what do you miss?
