  I trialed Tidal and thought it was fine. Just Fine. I’m trying Qobuz right now. It seems like all the things I like from Bandcamp but there’s also a paid streaming service. The audio sounds great on Qobuz and I like the option of buying HiRes albums for my local media server. I’m an iOS loser, and they just updated Apple Music with finally some good crossfade. I’m a simpleton and that appeals a lot to me. I can’t find crossfade setting on Qobuz for iOS. I feel like I would pick Qobuz over Tidal just for the ease of downloading my music to my Zune/iPod/subsonic/jellyfin.

  Easy comparison. Tidal is not ethical. With investors like Black rocks …they’re devil financing wars and genocide.

    I don’t know who Black Rocks is or whether or not they finance wars and genocide. I also couldn’t find anything regarding them interesting in TIDAL. Can you confirm with sources for either claim?

      BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager, overseeing trillions of dollars for governments, corporations, and individuals.

        So I see. I still can’t find anywhere that says they invested in TIDAL.

        But does that make TIDAL unethical? Does the poison run up the water stream or down?
