Fyi: you don't get the songs in the highest quality. They're actually compressed, because Tidal HiFi isn't actually lossless. This video goes more in deph: https://youtu.be/pRjsu9-Vznc?si=8Az9OhX-Y0dhEz2A
If you want lossless, use Deezer and something like Deemix. In my experience it also has more nieche music than Tidal.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/pRjsu9-Vznc?si=8Az9OhX-Y0dhEz2A
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
AAAAAAAAGH, you sent me down a rabbithole again! To be fair, a lot of the music I listen to probably only exists in CD quality at best, but if I'm going to pay money I want the option of having the best there is. Thanks for letting me know about this!
Well you won't find anything better than CD quality on any streaming service since it's pretty large. A single FLAC can be a few hundred MBs large and you won't really be able to tell the difference. Also it's extremely rare
There still are some services where you can buy lossless music in higher quality, but Tidal isn't one of them
Do you think I should switch then? Is deezer just a better deal overall? I never bought into the MQA hype so I'm solely asking on an audio quality basis.
There is also Qobuz, which offers 96 kHz/24 bit streaming if you live in a supported country
