Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year
fushuan@lemm.ee 1 month agoAccording to another commenter chromium on Linux is hard capped on quality, so although it’s noticeable vs the web version, it’s not actual Max quality. I haven’t noticed it although my headphones should be able to show the difference (sony MDR 7506, I know, yes, for everything, people say that it doesn’t sound nice, I don’t care I love it) so idk.

Yeh, that’s where I’m at with it.
I’ve seen comments that chromium does 48khz, and the high quality is 44.1khz, so there’s is sample rate conversion happening yada yada yada.
I’m not going to let perfection stand in the way of good.
Hopefully Tidal releases a native Linux client. That would be ideal.
Either way, it’s better than Spotify. I’m not bombarded by podcasts, I’m not funding podcasts I wouldn’t touch with a 10ft pole, and Tidal pays artists more than both Apple and Spotify.
It ticks enough boxes for me, and I’m super happy with Tidal

100% agree, it’s better than all the other music services in quality on linux just because it (3rd party) offers something that has somewhat better sound quality than the basic video version of any other one, and Spotify being the only other one that has an unendorsed official native client (done by the devs in their spare time without any official support offered) is pointless because their best audio quality is trash.
