I was going to write this too.
If it was a Bill Gates look alike, they would be in awe of a life changing event
fukking clowns
They did that with rap music, the way we dress, and now this.
Maybe the concept for Tidal is pointless and maybe Jay did a horrible job promoting it to people who get music for free.

Nobody is saying not to have some form of criticism, but, only a fool would keep listening to the same mainstream media who keeps!talking down on anything that is associated with urban people. I say urban because even blacks who aren't from the inner cities talked down to us, only to give someone else credit once everything gets big time money. I seen this since the 80's, I don't fall for the shyt now.

And he didn't do a horrible job, I heard about tidal months ago, in the HiFi community. Jay-Z is just the figurehead to promote it, but people was wanting it months back.
It is very easy to stunt with tidal. When people come over the crib, and hear how clear the music is when its played loud, and you show them you are using tidal, along with a nice set up, you just stunted on them. You're forgetting Tidal is meant to be a part of a set up, not all by itself.
Any DJ knows he can easily shyt on another DJ if he plays with high quality files, and the other DJ, is using lossy files. The lossless sound way better when played loud, then lossy files. People forget music is about sound, and the better the quality of the sound, the more the music can get its point across. When it does that it hits your emotions very strongly. Until you experience this, you wouldn't understand anything I'm writing.

this thread
it really is fukking dumb
that you would pay for Tidal when other services are free or cheaper
all the artist music are on Google Play for $9
why would i pay $20 when the only way i will listen to it is from my cell phone
Tidal needs to come up with a new concept
and incentives to switch to them

Breh, what good is playing Lossless files, if you don't have Speakers/Headphones designed to play such music at it's full potential? Tidal isn't being pitched to the average consumer.... if i'm only listening from my phone, you're telling me that i need to go buy high end headphones just to properly use the service?
Better yet, will the average person be able to tell/care about the vast difference between Tidal and Spotify,Rhapsody,Google Play All Access enough to make them want to spend $20 a month on it?
What about the potential subscriber who downloads CD Quality music for free, or uses the Free Version of Spotify because it's on his PS4 and sees no reason to start to pay for a service like Tidal?
You don't "need" high end headphones since so many headphones are out now that are good enough at much cheaper prices, but, it helps.
Secondly, the average listener will be able to tell, but, what I think you mean is will the average listener care about the sound quality? I think most probably won't but, enough will, and that is all that's needed. As long as they make a profit, and its continuous, that's all that matters.
Thirdly, then they just won't subscribe. Its not about having every person use your product, its about WHO is using your product, as that keeps your brand in a certain class. Because a lot of people don't care about sound quality, that is what is needed to separate Tidal from the average. You want to be extraordinary, to create a lifelong brand, and keep consumers with money to spend to keep coming back. Its a luxury brand, its not made for people who are happy to do google searches for CD quality music, or happy with lossy files using stock headphones.
Think about it, why do people buy Mercedes Benz, when they get money? Its because of the luxury brand. The same with clothes. Now they have a streaming service that can be considered a luxury brand, compared to other streaming services.

I think they sold the idea well.
I'm still not sure who actually owns what, a lot inconsistency in this thread. So far I've seen: 16 artist have 3% share, Aspiro, Sprint/Spoftbank, Jay- Z has own a large portion through Project Panther Bidco Ltd.
Someone said jay-z owns Aspiro? I read that it was swedish company and I read Jay-z brought Tidal from Aspiro.
Sprint has also denied they have any deals with Tidal.

Aspiro was the Swedish company that created Tidal and WiMP. Jay-Z did not just buy Tidal, but Aspiro as a whole and everything under it, making him the majority owner.

It does, from what I've seen they could've marketed it's features and how user friendly it is compared to it's competitors. However, this support artistry rhetoric by the artist is not as bad as folks are making it out to be. C'mon there music artist not tech savy engineers. They were saying Tidal brought Aspiro's stock through the roof but I don't know it that was a fluff piece.
wow tidal looks so unique and user friendly compared to spotify

really? When people come over and hear your steaming service? You mean you've been setting up this complex sound system only to be waiting for the perfect hi-fi streaming service to drop so you can show it off?
Or you mean those get togethers where people aren't drinking, talking to each other, being loud, and laughing? The ones where everyone comes over and sits contently on the couch, quiet, as they take in every chord, note and melody?
Oh, you mean those dj's who put together a mix on their streaming service to spin?
What DJ is using streaming services to DJ an event? What does a DJ having hi fidelity music have to do with tidal? Them nikkas fukking have the vinyl or lossless file on their hard drive, tidal doesn't help them.
You can't even believe the shyt you're writing
