I never judge musical taste.

 

So with this thread you disregard Sound Quality. OK.

What about MQA ?

Comparing Tidal with Spotify or Apple Music is as apples and oranges. Unless it is about the numbers and SQ is disregarded.

And if you so that, you just as well can use MQA.

I think the reason Apple Music, Spotify, etc... have the market cornered is they are the only services that mainstream people know about.

 

The problem could well be that today's youth doesn't even know what a CD is. This may not count for everyone, but our 19y/o never has seen a CD used for real. The music is downloaded / streamed, and why would he have a reference in "CD" as such ? Is the quality of that different then, dad ? ... and then I'd first have to tell him.

 

I don't know whether it was in this thread that someone said to have tested himself with a 100 tracks and of all he failed to recognize the CD vs MP3. Well, that. Why would youngsters hop from Spotify to Tidal. Maybe if it was for free.

 

The model s*cks. But that has been on the table before ...
