Jay-Z Bouncing from Tidal Well, not surprising. Had they not botched the launch, Jay-Z might have been able to get the funding, interesting though he (nor all the celebrated 'owners') are going to float it - so much for the 'revolution'. They all have enough money to do so. | |

You can have all the endorsements in the world, with a plethora of big names to promote your product, but if the concept has been rehashed over & over again, whats the point? It will have a short expiry date.
Jay-Z has the resourced & the influence to launch a new idea and maintain its longevity, only problem is he didn't come up with one. | |

I think they underestimated the publics revulsion for ego and excess at the expense of their pocketbook. | |

Stupid idea to begin with surrounded by a bunch of greedy celebrities with huge egos #TIDALFAIL The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Tech question....does 'hi res' sound as proposed in this format - does it take up more bandwidth or would it require upgrades in sdata streaming on mobile phones? | |

I think that's what turned people off in the first place. | |

. Its been said that he signed exclusive streaming to the entire back catalog.... yanked from Spotify, from Amazon Prime (that one cut like a knife)... no idea the duration of the agreement. Anyone? . But the new track STARE is on Spotify. | |

Check out Joe Satriani's take on Tidal...he notified them that his biography on their site was a mess, and they couldn't/wouldn't fix it:
"I signed up with Tidal early on. I dialed it in and went, “I wonder if I’m on Tidal? Oh look, they have a bio!” — and it was the funniest thing. It was a very poor attempt. It wasn’t even copied from Wikipedia; it was just a very bad bio. And they called every record Surfing With the Alien. Can you imagine? “And then, in 1995, he released Surfing With the Alien…” I’m looking at it, going, “I’ve never even seen a cluster-typo like that!” [The aforementioned Surfing With the Alien was released in 1987.] . I wrote them an email: “I love your service. It sounds really good. Hope when it finally launches, it’s great.” This is still when they’re gathering their preview customers, before the big launch. “By the way, it’s me, and you guys should really look at my bio, because it’s really messed up. If you need any info, let me know.” . A couple of weeks go by, and I don’t hear anything. I write them another email. I got a response: “Our tech department is working really hard to blah blah blah.” Finally, after a few months, I was like, “Really, guys?” They had music up — and it was OK. It was good, but it didn’t make me want to never listen to my iTunes again. . It just bothered me that they were saying, “Hey, we’re all this,” and at the same time, they couldn’t fix this teeny little thing. I’m thinking, if you can’t even handle this small detail, what are you really doing with the music?"
"I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 | |

This was a fail from the get go. Aside from the obnoxious press conference, there is no need to put out another streaming service. The market is already saturated with various streaming services. Nobody is not going to pay for a pricey service when they can easily go on youtube and get music for free or pay for a less expensive service. | |

Streaming Isn't Saving The Music Industry After All.
Once the music industry pull their heads out of their butts and understand streaming will never be the gold pot beneath the rainbow, maybe they'll come up with a strategy. TIdal should have had a free streamng option and all music should be played in FLAC. People are still downloading, ripping and sharing shit off and on the net. | |

Why is this thread, with its wholly untrue titular statement, still stickied, considering it's a month later and there's been no announcement to that effect? I have no particular like or dislike for the service, but I'm bemused as to why blatant misinformation is being spread here, and apparently being co-signed by the mods. Heavenly wine and roses seems to whisper to me when you smile...
