Just a reminder that Tidal is amazing, has higher quality audio, a real shuffle, daily playlists, doesn't shove podcasts in your face, pays artists more, and provides ways to import your playlists over π©· I also listen to some pretty obscure music and haven't had issues not finding songs.
I have always liked apple music, hated the first ui change, its finally good again now, near perfect
I believe Apple Music is solid, and if I'm not mistaken, pays artists the most. I was super considering it when I was looking for alternatives!
Every complaint ppl had about queing was valid but is gone now, it improved a lot at some point last 2 years, I always liked finding related artists on there and if you like edm so many livesets remastered for apple music
Tidal doesn't respect disabling explicit content, and it also dropped crossfading.
As buggy as it is sometimes, Deezer is where I'm at.
aww it's not available in my region
Last I'd used Tidal it was still glitchy, missing artists I fancy, with incorrect dates and covers for a number of other artists I like. I'm still on Spotify for now, but with ad-free clients on both my phone and laptop. Is Tidal any better than it was 4 years ago?
Tidal has like everyone now. Even a few that weren't on spotify in my experience. Its like 2$ to extend the free trial to 2 months so you can really get a feel for it.
It's been super solid for me! They are constantly improving categorization, and they are always on top of reported issues. I absolutely love that they provide patch notes with every update!
Deleted spotify, now use Soundcloud and Tidal. Reminder soundcloud has by far the most music on it.
You can stream all the music you own from Bandcamp directly too.
I'm checking out Tidal right now. Is there a way to import the playlists that doesn't cost money?
When you say "a real shuffle" what do you mean?
So far the audio quality is noticeably better and I have both set to maximum quality. Only complaint so far is that they seem to combine artists of same or similar names. For example, it was tough to find Wolves without it confusing different artists of the same name. I found a metal core band from Milwaukee of the same name which I like, but I was looking for a band from the early 2000's from Massachusetts. Once I found them, Tidal lists other artists' albums under the more albums section.
When I moved over a few years ago, there were a few different services that could migrate playlists. I did remember some having a cap that you had to pay to increase, but I believe I eventually found one that let me move them all for free.
One of the reasons I quit Spotify was that their shuffle seemed oddly weighted. It would try to detect songs that it thought I wanted to listen to and always prioritize those in the shuffle. Turning off its smart shuffle didn't seem to help either π€·ββοΈ I do occasionally find artists with the same name grouped together, but this is something I've seen them addressing in their patch notes. They are really on top of reported issues.
I had Spotify on shuffle once, and it played the same song twice in a row. On two separate occasions.
Exaaaactly! It could be a super cool feature if they gave users a way to add and adjust weights to songs- higher ones played more often and lower less, or if they let songs be hibernated - they stay in a playlist but won't play until woken up.
Yeah. I'm not a fan of their shuffle either. I sometimes want music I've never heard before. Supposedly their discover weekly playlist is what provides this but it's always full of covers of songs I already regularly listen to.
I'm just waiting for either Tidal or Qobuz to offer good non-English (Japanese) support sike... I tested both. Apps were solid themselves but I'd appreciate it if I don't have to try English, Japanese, romaji (Japanese phonetics) every time I search for something
Looked at that and think it will be an option in the near future, but right now Raspotify and Connect are hard to beat.
Edit: Searching a bit more, it looks like Tidal Connect is actually a thing. I'll take a good look at switching when my Spotify plan runs out. I'll be happy to switch to a service that doesn't screw their artists.
That repo is an amazing example of something so well documented as to how it works they completely neglected to have even a paragraph explaining what it really does and why I would want to use it.
As far as I can tell itβs a Spotify connect client which runs as a daemon so you probably need to control it remotely? Kinda like how AirPlay works on apple devices? Is that right?
Yea, I run hundreds of self-hosted projects, and I'm clueless.
