Tidal vs. Spotify


Tidal sounds better for sure. Search functions aren't as good as Spotify but if you are currently using Spotify, give Tidal a try and let me know what you think!

So essentially Im going in circles.  I'll try to explain.  I am trying to resign up for the Spotify Premium subscription but I forgot my password.  When I request that they e-mail me they say that my e-mail is not associated with an active account so that lead me to think that I just need to sign up again but when I try to do that they say I can't use my user name or e-mail because it is taken already (by me, I assume, from my prior subscription). 

I filled out the Spotify contact form for help but when I get to the end and press send I get the response that my session had timed out.  I filled the form out again a second time, cut and paste therefore really quickly, and I still got the same session has timed out response.

I will say that cancelling my subscription last time was a real hassle, just like my trying to resubscribe right now.  Poor customer service in my opinion; we'll see if my e-mails requesting help actually made it through to them or not.  


Comparing Tidal and Spotify is like comparing bananas with iceskates.
Spotify is way superior in usability, serachengine, intelligent music suggestions, etc.
But, in terms of sound quality, spotify is ok for the kitchen stereo or the boombox you bring to the beach. But utterly unacceptable as source in any serious setup.
In any serious setup, the difference between spotify and tidal hifi, is instantly obvious.
The sense of air, 3d imagin and realism dissapears when you switch to spotify. Where tidal delivers a soundstage that is wide, deep, high, airy and precise, everything just sounds compressed and, to say it like it is, shitty! in comparison, when played on spotify.. 
I find Qobuz much better than Tidal and Spotify but to be able to subscribe you have to live in Europe if i recall.

Not sure what issue you have with Tidal search?
I have been using for over a year and have zero complaints at all.
I think the Tidal interface is superior to Spotify and as for the sq, not even on the same planet.
Also just started investigating Deezer which seems to be pretty comparable to Tidal in search and sq.
But of course all just my opinions...
