160GB Classic (with my entire CD collection); plus free Pandora, TuneInRadio, and the plethora of full YouTube album PIFF, I'm good

...now when the long awaited 128GB IPod Touch 6 drop, then I'll bite Apple

Apple didn't trot out 20 successful artists demanding for more money from consumers and calling it a "revolution." Apple also just revealed a more appealing, cheaper product with more artists available.

Color got nothing to do with this, especially with Jay being the front man for white backers anyway.

It's the same damn price

$9.99 http://tidal.com/us/try-now The disinformation campaign really confused the majority of people. Regular Tidal has been 9.99 since the jump, but you had dozens of articles /stories only talking about the $20 option. It was a crazy orchestrated and manipulative move and people fell for it.

Someone should edit the face on here:

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

i will probly join but it's hard to go ALL IN on streaming because they still don't have everything. mixtapes, remixes, rare versions of certain tracks i've collected among the years, etc.

apple doesn't have frank ocean's nostalgia ultra on there and i'm sorry but that's an album i need in my life.

You nikkas really don't see Google on the sidelines like,

They endorsing free music for the consumer on back end + advertising and platform for the artist on the front end

Apple behind the 8 ball again. Following Spotify and Pandora business models only taking you so far.

But Apple has a HUGE consumer base so I understand why some of you think this is a huge move.

 

[Just like bruddas]

All jay z is doing with tidal is learning how shyt works. He's the face but not the owner or boss. He's making money regardless. Don't be surprised if you see him with his own shyt popping in a few years. Rock streams or some shyt

He fcuking owns the company !!! The amount of disinformation spread about Tidal, in and of itself should be proof of how deliberately people set out to trash the effort. Like, I subscribe to beats currently, but seeing the weird way people want Jay to fail actually makes me kinda want to join Tidal now.

Get you news from sources other than message board threads brehs.

Tidal is Jay Z’s most ambitious venture yet—an effort to profit in an arena that’s thwarted not only other musicians but startups and venture capitalists, too. Many artists are unhappy with the economics of streaming, notably Taylor Swift, who pulled her albums from Spotify last November. Jay Z wants to do better on two levels. Tidal pays record labels and music publishers a higher royalty—75 percent of revenue, vs. Spotify’s 70 percent, boosting the value of music on the Internet, including his own. And as a large shareholder, he could sell off his stake at a profit if outside investors give Tidal a valuation approaching those of other digital-music platforms such as Pandora and Spotify.

Another possibility is that Jay Z, who declined to speak to Bloomberg Businessweek, will lose his entire investment in Aspiro, Tidal’s Norwegian parent company, which he purchased in March for $56 million. In streaming, he has formidable rivals. Spotify, the 9-year-old market leader, is valued at $8 billion, and it loses money. Three-quarters of its more than 60 million members use its free, ad-supported service rather than paying $9.99 for a monthly subscription. Smaller players such as Deezer and Rhapsody also lose money but have managed to stay afloat. Apple is expected to introduce its own product using Beats technology later this month at the same $9.99 subscription price—but the $757 billion company can afford to break even or even lose money on music as long as it sells more iPhones, iPads, and watches.

Spotify has been loosing money for 9 years, but it's not being called a failure ever second of the day.
