After 2 years I just un subscribed. Feels so much better. Anyone else?

For me it was just waay too much great music missing. No Tool, Soundgarden, Pete Gabriel.

What are you using now?

Qobuz seems like an interesting alternative to me, not sure how big their library is though.

Qobuz is the standard for classical — Idagio if you live in the EU. You can read my rave review to learn more about my Tidal feelings.

Why is this in the High-End section?

 

[bosiemoncrieff]

Poor judgment.

Not trying to an apologist for Tidal (they deserve a lot of the criticism they get); but I could easily find Soundgarden and Peter Gabriel on Tidal. Tool, well: They have refused to be on any streaming service. King Crimson is another one; there's only a handful of live albums. Lots of other artists have incomplete discographies. That's why I refuse to let go of my CD's, even though I use Tidal A LOT.

So I get your sentiment

Edit: speeling

They seem to be dropping a lot of stuff they once had. I went looking for Emerson Lake and Palmer the other day and it wasn't there anymore. I listen to a lot of 70s artists, and I notice they seem to be dropping those. I wish they had a CD quality competitor in the US. Especially if that competitor had a wide and deep selection of classical. And I don't see why I have to have a hip hop artist homepage. Seems to me I should be able to tailor it for what I like and listen to.

What are you using now?

Cd's, Youtube, and Spotify.

I figured most people that can afford it probably have a high-end system. Looking at some of the signature's on here it looks fairly high-end. Please feel free to move to a more appropriate forum though. I'm not sure how. Report myself?

WhatHifi published a nice overview and test about streaming services in their last edition.

Looking at the smartphone and speaker setup they used. I personally do not put a whole lot of stock in that review. I liked Tidal at first but the more I dug into it the more I was disappointed.

Ten to twenty years ago I would have loved a rap/hip-hop page. Today rap and hip-hop are so dumbed down and synthesized I see Zero reason to make it high-res. Arianna, Rhianna, Post, Khaled make elevator music not timeless classics. Beyond sad times we live in as far as that genre is concerned.

I just don’t get why you would make a separate topic to let us know you unsubscribed tbh.

I know it’s not perfect, but neither are the alternatives.

I was just curious if others had a similar experience. Not allowed?
