I don't like the "Coldplay for sale" feeling when they advertise companies like these (other than non-profit-organisations) and even if Jay-Z is a friend, it doesn't feel right for me. Huh? This is a pay service and if it works out, the band is going to be better compensated for their work. They are advertising a music streaming service that will stream their music. How is that Coldplay for sale?

I already have Spotify Premium, unless there is something with this that would make it MUCH better, I can't see why I would change. At least not right now.

You're going to switch b/c the band is getting better pay from Tidal than Spotify?

Okay so I downloaded it and tried. I'm not impressed. Nothing really stands out. I signed up for the HiFi one month free trial. You have to read the FAQ and terms because it will auto bill you every month. So I canceled the renewal and started listening since you get a month. As a musician I can't tell any difference with this app. I first used $80 ear buds then $300 headphones, Marshalls. Still no difference than listening to music from your iPod library.
Verdict: don't get it.

Oh! I read that Taylor Swift is streaming her full album on Tiday. She refused to use Spotify.

If I ever get it, it will be b/c my band is getting better pay. They've been at odds with Spotify and other streaming services out there.

Well.. to be honest I'm not going to worry about Taylor Swift LOL.. sorry.. That was a completely random remark about Taylor Swift. There's a whole article out there that I didn't feel like posting. But she's an artist who refused to stream on Spotify but agreed to do it on Tidal. That was the only point I was making.

Verdict: don't get it. Ha! I did the same! I am using/trying it (for now at least) because Mr Gorgeous told me to. To me, the music quality with Tidal is really better compared with what I am used to Yeah, I know; that what I was used to listen to, wasn't that good at all, I know.

If it helps the band and bands in general, I'm for it. I don't get a taste of anything bad from it. I trust that CP, who is gracious and caring to their fans, know what they are doing and for the right reasons. If Chris asked me to jump off a cliff, I'm afraid I might do it. LOL!!

There's absolutely nothing wrong about anyone asking for top dollars (or pounds lol) for their work if people are willing to pay. So much of it is stolen already. I'm sure none of us would like to work only to see our paychecks given away to others. Just b/c somebody is a millionaire doesn't mean they shouldn't get paid top money for their work.
