I switched to tidal. Recently had a huge price drop to compete with Spotify and Apple Music. It’s not perfect, but it has lossless audio, and works well for my needs
I started using Tidal when I learned they where the ones who pay the artists the most. I don’t know if it’s still true today tho.
Yeah that was part of my motivation as well. I’m unsure how that will change now with their significant price drop, I was happy paying the previous prices, as it was like the cost of buying 3 $10 CDs a month, and I listened to considerably more music than that
Does tidal have the feature Spotify does where you can transfer what’s playing from one device to another? I use that somewhat frequently.
Yeah you can do the same thing as Spotify and change the output on the fly within the app
Thanks!
Does the switching really work? I’ve been eyeing Tidal since Spotify is shit at that. Too many times I get “can’t play this song” when switching from pc to mobile or vice versa. Sometimes it won’t even switch and I have to force close both, which is not possible when I’m outside and not near the pc.
Hmm, I don’t use the feature frequently, but it hasn’t failed on me. I can say that I use CarPlay frequently, and Tidal’s CarPlay implementation is a thousand times more reliable than Spotify, so when it comes to device based implementations they seem to have done a great job.
Looks like they offer a free trial, https://offer.tidal.com/ so I would say probably best to pilot it with that and see if it suites your needs
EDIT:
Testing on my app, it doesn’t seem to do what you want to do. You can select different output devices seamlessly, but you can switch between two clients the way Spotify can, sorry for the misunderstanding. Hope you find something that works for you
