I've been with #Spotify for 10 years, but I'm now considering switching to #Tidal. I don't like the way Spotify is going: shifting focus to podcasts, paying shit to musicians... I'd rather see my money go to them than to Rogan.
But it's not just about me, I have my whole family on our family plan. I have to be sure about it and convince them. If you have made the switch, what had been your experience?

I did the switch the other way years ago due to very poor Linux support and back then they also managed to break the web player on Linux. Support just replied "Linux is not a priority for us".

I think there might be somewhat recent library update as I think that was the reason I went for deezer.
Bought subscription for one month and will check it out

in reply to Jiří Eischmann • • •Why I switched to Tidal
- Better sound quality
- Regional pricing in Hungary, therefore a bit cheaper for me
- It still pays artists more
What could be improved
- No official app for Linux
- Spotify's recommendations feel better
- Desktop app (for other OSes) doesn't even support downloading music for offline play, so it's basically same as the webapp
- No Discord integration

in reply to Jiří Eischmann • • •já jsem s Tidalem vcelku spokojený, jen české interprety to nevyhledává úplně dobře a ta již zmíněná integrace. Pokud nějaká služba má integraci hudby, tak je to Spotify.
Spotify je notoricky známé pro sledování lecčehos, jak je na tom Tidal netuším.
Tidal naopak měl nějakou kontroverzi s manipulací vyplácení odměn, ale blíže jsem to nezkoumal. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_…
