Hi , sorry to hear about your experience . I've been using Tidal for about 18 months . They lack artists like Bob Seger, Metallica ( Big Surprise 😆). Many of the classic rock bands I listen to , have their catalogs butchered . Missing entire albums and material available on one album , but not playable on another . I also avoid the home page because I dislike Ghetto/crime music . Sorry to those offended , but I have CPTSD from working 25 years in level 4 institutions . As a rock fan , I know who invented and refined my music and I honor and appreciate their culture . Whoops , off topic . Also I had trouble getting the Credit Union Visa to clear the bank each month . So my solution is to pay monthly with Pay-Pal and stick to my playlists and selected albums . I run a decent DAC and low powered SEP tubes and am happy with the sound quality . And even though I'm a narrow minded ass , I really enjoy the suggested artists links and the ability to sample music from a musically diverse planet . Thank you , to all you AUDIO HEADS , because I know very little and rely on you're guidance to learn . Except my emotional problems , I use my shrink . But if I get past my stuff , I'm spending all that extra money on cables . Happy Listening , Challenged Mike .
Tidal free trial subscription
Hello,
I subscribed for a 30 day free trial for Tidal and opted for 6 month payment plan for $101.94. The website clearly says, '30 day free trial' under that plan. I subscribed on May 7th and cancelled on May 29th. My credit card has been charged $101.94. I have not seen any refund and so, I sent an email inquiry. Guess what? Sergio from Support says, there is no refund because I signed up for the 6 month plan. My main reason for cancellation was lack of many of the albums of many artists I like (unlike Spotify where I could get most of them).
The "refund policy" details are even more interesting. If you dispute the charges with credit card company and they are able to prove their case, they will charge your credit card for the expense and what not beyond the subscription charge. Never heard such policy, not sure it is legal anyway.
Has anyone had experience like this?
Be careful if you intend to deal with Tidal!
By the way, there is very minor difference between Tidal and Spotify when the latter is set up for "Extreme" streaming. This set up needs to be manually done, it is not standard or "Normal" streaming.
