Which one do you prefer?
I am seeing plenty of mixed opinions about both Spotify and Tidal. Some are saying Spotify is the best, others say it’s bloated, others think it’s annoying it’s also an app for podcasts. Some people really like Tidal, but I have mostly seen negative opinions about it - worse song recommendations, no difference in audio, too expensive.
As someone who doesn’t care very much for song recommendations I can’t decide which one is ideal for me personally. Tidal seems to pay artists better, but the criticism it receives makes me unsure. What do y’all think?
So as far as audio quality goes, you don’t think it’d be worth switching from Spotify to Tidal? I like Tidal for other reasons (I like the UI better, they supposedly pay artists more), but I’m not sure if these reasons are enough to completely abandon Spotify?
Honestly, I didn’t notice any difference in sound quality, so for me it wasn’t worth switching to Tidal. You could try their free trial and see for yourself, maybe you have better ears or headphones than me.
The only hassle was transferring my playlists, but I used an app that did it for me.
IMO these are exactly the kinds of reasons why you might switch to something else. Audio quality is “good enough” everywhere, but Spotify seems the most apt of the streaming service at worsening their UI with each update.
