“When people want to listen to music they go to Spotify. When people want to study sound recordings as they were originally created, they go to libraries like the Internet Archive. Both are needed. There shouldn’t be conflict here.” - @brewsterkahle

@internetarchive @brewsterkahle I’m just going to slide in here with a quick plug for TIDAL, the streaming app that delivers better sound quality and pays artists higher royalties than Spotify and those other services. ✌️😁

@TMRuppert @internetarchive @brewsterkahle I've switched to Tidal and have been happy with it. I didn't realise the impact the higher bitrate world have, even over my stock car stereo.

I also prefer the app, which is less gimmicky than Spotify's.

The only thing Spotify has on it is their curated playlists seem better, although I'd played them out and started getting a lot of repeats by the time I made the switch
