I figured Tidal catch.
They do not provide hi-rez streaming even if you pay nor they will ever beat analogue quality.

Tidal does not post the cost to buy a song or an album on their site
I've used all (I think) streaming services and I (reluctantly) concluded that Tidal has the largest selection, highest fidelity and best search function. The price though seems very high to me. Here's my question: When a Tidal subscription lapses and downloaded tracks/albums will no longer play, does that imply that there's some sort of DRM code embedded in the data? If so, does that digital watermark in any way degrade the fidelity? I haven't noticed, but perhaps I've not got the late HP's ears. Comments? Thoughts? |
Here's a link to the 'purchasing music' FAQ on Tidal's site: https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003672089-Purchasing-Music It looks like you can indeed buy tracks or albums if you'd like, but that's not really what their service is geared towards, it's primarily a streaming service. The 'all sales final, one time download link' part isn't as friendly as iTunes where you can always re-download your purchases even if you somehow manage to delete them, and Apple does allow CD-quality lossless purchases as well. |
