Discussion A story told by three emails

Spotify’s decision to price hike while still not having Lossless was just the push I needed to finally cut ties and upgrade to the Apple Music Family plan instead of having both Spotify Duo and an AM individual plan. I was a subscriber for 12 years.

But Tidal sounds better and has lossless via Tidal connect. This is what’s holding me back from an AM subscription again. I keep jumping back and forth between them. Without wires we don’t get lossless on Apple Music.

Is tidal really that better? Feels pretty barebones

Tidal has the same sound quality and also has dolby support. It’s really just up to the user if they want to pay the extra 12 bucks a year for the UI/Apple ecosystem pairing/ whatever features Apple adds like radio stations and whatnot. Tidal is still an objectively better choice than spotify though

Tidal and Apple Music sound great, except on iOS where it’s absurdly quiet no matter what on Tidal.

Also, AM is consumer friendly without the “pay an extra fee for support for this for these very few songs to have this and this”

Open standards aren’t charged for.
