Tidal vs. Spotify

Geifman, Chrome works like a charm on Mac; I like it better than Safari m'self. I'm a little stunned that you'd pass up full-res access to damn near every recording in the universe over the choice of a browser.

To each his own. ;-)

Okay. You convinced me. If I install Chrome on my Mac, how do I tell Tidal to use Chrome and not Safari?

You just launch Chrome instead of Safari as the web browser.
Then go to Tidalhifi.com. Tidal will automatically know.

As suggested, I installed Chrome on my Mac and then installed Tidal. I cannot believe it. The sound quality is very good. I am still experimenting with different artists, etc. Based on results so far, it is easily worth $20 per month. Yes, it is a little slow to load the music but this is no problem. Thanks again for your suggestions.

I have both and will keep both.

My wife shares Spotify playlists with her friends and enjoys it on her iPad.

I have Spotify & Tidal on my Autonomic MMS-5A music server, the app on my iPad is OK, so I use their web clients to configure my "favorites".

The sound quality is definitely better on Tidal. I find both apps to be good enough to find enjoyable music. But on my high-end audio system, I use Tidal.
