minus-squareAutoTL;DRBlinkEnglish7•10 months agoThis is the best summary I could come up with: Tidal seems to have decided that there just aren’t enough people willing to pay upward of $20 per month for the highest-possible audio fidelity. At a high level, it sounds like this new, much simpler subscription model will still include all the perks — high-res FLACs, Dolby Atmos mixes, etc. Now Tidal is caving and throwing in its large catalog of high-res tracks without demanding extra money on top. With this move, Tidal could be trying to head off an eventual rollout of the rumored “Supremium” Spotify plan and avoid potential subscriber losses. Either way, it’s an attempt to remain competitive in the streaming music landscape — or at least to stay relevant. Tidal laid off 10 percent of its staff in December amid other cuts at parent company Block. The original article contains 428 words, the summary contains 130 words. Saved 70%.
