Struggling, what to do about Tidal? - Lemmy.World

When Neil Young asked us to switch to Tidal, I went along and loved that it paid the artists 10x more per stream. But Tidal is American owned, spotify isn’t… I’m struggling on this one, a lot of the lil punk bands I love could really use the revenue but, y’know, trade war etc. Anyone have any thoughts to assuage a guilty conscience on this one?

Qobuz. It’s French and it pays more than Tidal. It’s a privately owned company. You can also actually buy music from it in addition to streaming. Fuck Tidal.

Heya! Just wanted to say thanks. I tried Qobuz but had a couple of issues. Just tried Deezer and it’s been fantastic, works with everything and my tiny little obscure bands are all there! It’s like catching up with old friends I haven’t seen in far too long.

Thanks again!

Ive heard qobuz limits downloads so you end up not being able to actually own every song you paid for

Haven’t seen that yet but I also haven’t bought that many. Several albums so far. Would be pretty odd but I haven’t looked into it so I can’t reject it.
