Tidal HiFi Test - how representative?

I was thinking about this last night. I'm quite happy with the sound listening to Radio Tunes, which I pay the premium for. It comes in at 128AAC. I think I'll have to compare Radio Tunes to premium Tidal to see if I really need to pay the extra 10 dollars for HIFI. It's usually on for casual listening anyways.

280 - I'm certainly not trying to rain on anyone's parade. I do like the ability with Spotify or Tidal to pick an album or artist and just listen to their stuff vs hearing single tracks mixed with a lot of other "related" music - as is the case with something like Pandora (and maybe Radio Tunes?).

I wonder if the folks who say $20 a month for Tidal is too much think about how much a month they use to spend on CD's? I know I was regularly spending $50/month netting myself at most 7-8 discs. For less than half that I can listen to literally thousands of albums on Tidal at CD quality. Seems a relative bargain to me.

I agree Jond, but if I can still enjoy it at half the cost...
Ghosthouse, Radio Tunes just plays different artists one after the other, just like fm. Was mowing the yard today listening with the phone and heard quite a few blues artists I'm interested in which I'll look up on Tidal & Spotify. It's nice that RadioTunes lists the last 4 tracks played to give me time to stop and write them down at leisure. Yes, I carry paper and pencil when I mow. LOL

Tried to look up "Ball and Chain", by Gary Moore on Tidal with no luck. Searched in Spotify and there it was. I'm not too happy about that. Hope this doesn't happen often.
