Spotify Vs Tidal - Which is the better service? Price & Audio Quality

[@arisetiawan219]

Tidal offering better audio quality than Spotify, easy choice

[@techprojournal4469]

If you have the hardware for it, there is only one choice

[@skyguy1988]

the ui is still "meh". they still dont have an option to do custom playlist order OR collapse the "my collection" part in the sidebar if you ONLY want to see your playlists -_-

[@alvinholgersson]

There is one more point to be had for Tidal, but this only impacts people that work with music, mostly DJs. They offer direct streaming to many DJ controllers and software that spotify does not. I love my Tidal

[@AuthenticHD]

It’s pretty impressive honestly

[@LokiTricksterG]

The latest Spotify update annoyed the crap out of me with the flashing GIFs that appear every time I do a search. This probably sounds petty, but I think I'm switching over to Tidal for that alone.

[@yaronbakker2137]

In the end it's about what you as a person value. For you that's peace of mind. As much as I love how much we're advancing technology, we're doing so for good, and bad. For me marketing is getting out of hand. I'm switching to tidal because I want some crisp audio. But I must admit I won't mind leaving behind the, to me, juvenile more-and-more flashy- and in your face approach to UI.

[@sevsev1712]

Nice channel indeed. I changed from Amazon HD to Tidal. Still on trial and testing. So far so good 🙃

[@techprojournal4469]

Thank you, I'm still working on it, finding my voice, but thank you. I hope you enjoy todal,, if you have the hardware, tidal is in a class of its own.

[@ThugLife-tb4fu]

I change from Spotify to Tidal week ago

[@TheNggaroy]

Same here :) Tidal sound quality amazing !!

[@christbel4965]

TIDAL GREAT FOR DJ ❤

[@gabrielqueteimportante8499]

Good choice

[@thearchived4823]

With the Spotify price increase, I figured that it would be worth trying something new. So I went with Tidal. It has been a change, and with another purchase to get my playlists copied, it has been good so far

[@OHGBOY71]

You did not mention that Tidal can be used with Serato for DJing, which is a very big deal for dis and how they prepare for gigs.

[@techprojournal4469]

Very good point, not really on my radar, but excellent point

[@AuthenticHD]

I’ve had Tidal for years, I love it

[@jamie5363]

I’ve been using Tidal since lockdown 2020, it’s better than Spotify don’t get me wrong but they still don't have Alexa compatibility in the UK 💀

[@robertstoner4973]

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to drop Spotify for Tidal. It keeps playing random songs when I finish a playlist or album no matter my settings or subscription

[@techprojournal4469]

Very weird bug! You won't be disappointed with tidal

[@BG4life13]

using apple music for years decided to give both platforms a try since they're both offering summer free trials.. I must say, Tidal is like a blend of both apple music and spotify. i've found music on Tidal that I wasn't able to find on spotify which was surprising. and the audio quality of Tidal is so freaking good. granted Apple music is freaking good too, I feel like Tidal plays at a higher volume then AM. only thing is I wish they ditch the MQA format I would pay the extra money, but MQA is not true Lossless. anyway, will be keeping Tidal and leaving Apple music surprisingly. recommendations, sound quality, and even UI are all better.. not to mention artists are better compensated and you can donate to support them.

[@marcohorodnichev9489]

Also Tidal has good software for pretty much every device. I've found that both iTunes and Apple Music have many bugs and problems on non-apple devices like the PC I use for work.Tidal solved those problems for me.

[@max10hoop]

I actually just transitioned from SoundCloud to Tidal. Recently picked up a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X's and WOW the sound is amazing! Definitely worth the $20 a month. (Also they offer a 30 day free trial and a 60 day trial for only $4)

[@eventhorizon2873]

audio quality for me is most important, i think for most people. tidal can be used on iphone, android, pc even tv, so who cares about any other system not relative. if i am at home and conect to my AVR or high end soundbar i want no blend sound, so tidal is the way for me

[@AudioTnT]

Spotify Music Discovery is the only reason I keep it along w Tidal. How would Qobuz compare w Tidal these days? Slightly cheaper than Tidal in my region.

[@techprojournal4469]

Very good question, not a service I have thought about for a while. Will need to look into it!

[@NickVL_2]

For me Deezer and Tidal. 💜

[@asokthiagu131]

After discover new music on Spotify, I listen them in Tidal.

[@gwine9087]

It doesn't matter how good the stream is if your equipment isn't up to it. For example, Bluetooth CODECs cannot handle CD quality.

[@cboisandlin9601]

Spotify is ripping off the artists and it’s truly shameful. If you have Spotify, you’re a part of the problem and you should be ashamed of yourself. Tidal all the way baby 🤘🎸🔥🔥🔥

[@techprojournal4469]

Very true, but for smaller artists, it's often easier to get on spotify and has a larger audience, leading to more possible exposure. It's a balancing act but a shame for the artists, which, at the end of the day, is the reason any of us subscribe to any of these services.

[@cboisandlin9601]

@@techprojournal4469 true, but if everyone made the switch and Spotify would go out of business and artists could get a bigger audience on tidal. We just gotta hope more people make the switch.

[@benstark2065]

Ashamed of yourself? That's going a bit far

[@cboisandlin9601]

@@benstark2065 I’m joking

[@cullenbohannon7490]

I have Spotify since I have no shame I'm gonna use it exclusively from now on.

[@damyr55]

Nice video. First time seeing your channel

[@techprojournal4469]

Thank you, still have a lot to work on, but appreciate it!

[@Nicaraguall]

Big underestimation here, Spotify has 360kb/s or something but its compressed sound, Tidal and its CD quality - we dont know what it is, (CD itself has uncompressed files). I had Tidal master and Spotify and now im going back to Spotify. You can hear the difference only when you play the same song on each player right after another. Plus Spotify has great playlost and in Duo mode cost half of the Tidal.

[@techprojournal4469]

Spotify def has a lot going for it. I do love the audio quality on tidal, but most people wouldn't notice it day to day

[@saricubra2867]

Tidal's Hi Res is 44.1KHz and 16bit FLAC files, compressed but lossless CD rips.

[@saricubra2867]

​@@techprojournal4469You also need very good hearing. Sadly, hearing gets worse with age.

[@barlow2976]

I'm in my sixties, and don't consider myself an audiophile but for me Spotify sounds distinctly inferior, I've blind tested myself again and again.

[@ez5655]

honestly tidal sounds better in general, even to me without any of the hifi, compared to spotify, already switched my playlists

[@techprojournal4469]

There is a noticeable difference between the two! Even without hifi plus, but with it, it's night and day

[@crm4667]

the way music was meant to be heard was with a flat sound profile, Sennheiser. not all headphones are made equally.

[@durianeats3349]

Not all Sennheiser headphones are neutral sounding, some are warmer sounding.

[@sengkimchew]

My preference would be on Tidal if you want to stream audiophile standard music. Primary features of listening to music is about quality and availability of the music while searching and sharing service is secondary.

[@techprojournal4469]

I agree but Spotify is great at suggesting songs, it's algorithm is great at recommendations

[@DennisK15]

Tidal just better

[@raziel630]

i just switched to tidal and love it, that being said when spotify FINALLY offers a hi-fi tier i'll switch back. like you said their recomendations are so much better and the currated playlists are too.......

[@prouddaddyofdos]

Too bad Spotify stopped letting Dj Software use their platform…!!!

[@skyguy1988]

something to mention to everyone here. spotify is the only one with customized playlist order. for some reason all of these other fools dont have custom order! and i do NOT understand that

[@animegirlsfan02]

The problem with Spotify is that they remove artists' songs.

[@cooller8888]

I'm moving from Spotify, they rising the price without explanation, they do not answer questions, and they have separated support for people (not the same support level for all users). They are horrible company and I cannot support it any longer
