Tidal vs. Spotify

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.

Guys... IE is a HOG and is the reason why your computer
is sooo slow when you are on line (that and malware, long
story). DITCH IE.... (Sorry Bill. You know its bad).
Chrome is lean and not as mean (as IE) and free and easy
and much faster (MUCH faster and much more compatible
with web sites).

BUT, you can download Tidals player or use ickstream.

The best way to run tidal is via ickstream, next
downloaded tidal program, lastly streaming via browser
due to bandwith bottlenecks in all three places (their
server, your server, your puter). Its 2015! Get a
better web browser!

I've been a Spotify user for about a year now, runs great, never goes down, no issues. I was hesitant to pay $20 for Tidal, but finally went for it. After 2 weeks, I've cancelled Tidal. I'm using the Tidal app on a computer with plenty of power and ram, on a broadband ethernet connection, and it's just one hang-up after another, one "invalid track" error after another. Closing and re-starting doesn't help. I've had almost as many days that I couldn't enjoy it as days that I could. Granted, the sound quality is superb, but the promise of great sound quality doesn't help when all you're getting is silence and "invalid track" errors on every album I pull up. If they get their act together, I'll sign back up, but at this point it feels like I'm paying to be a beta tester.
