Posted to r/audiophile today - the latest advert for Jay-Z's lossless audio service, Tidal.

The advert completely misrepresents the lossless audio community and the demonstration is 100% audiophilic snakeoil. How is the community at large reacting to this garbage?

To correctly post a YouTube video, you must take the following part of the code from each link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q6iXyE6fSE

And use it as such:

[.youtube]9q6iXyE6fSE[/.youtube]

Ta-da:



As far as Tidal goes, I agree.

Only wrap the alphanumeric code with the YouTube tags.

There's a lot of armchair activism I can get behind... I share social unrest content on social media and the like... but this is perhaps the first time I feel intellectually attacked on "my own turf." I know its silly and inconsequential and that my rights and freedoms are in no way trounced upon by these peddlers of bulls*it, but I genuinely object to the gross-misrepresentation of the media format, particularly for profit.

HD audio and FLAC certainly have their place, like archival work, but this crap is downright stupid and does the whole lossless community a great disservice.

I'll keep shaking my fist until Jay-Z gets off my lawn.

The whole thing seems like a vanity project to me. And an attempt to earn more money, of course.

How many artists are going to be on there? I have spotify because of the extreme variety, whereas Tidal seems to only showcase artists that are well known.

My thoughts as well. The thing I saw on TV about it was pushing it as something that gives the artists a better deal financially. The problem is I care about the little guy, I don't give a shit if Jay-Z and company are making more dough per download.

Presently, major label signed artists (like Jay-Z) receive $0.007 per play on Tidal, while unsigned artists receive $0.0179 per play.

Based upon a US average minimum wage of $1,260 per month, 6% of Tidal's unsigned artists successfully yield the 29,302 plays per month required for them to earn the equivalent of minimum wage.

I never understood services like Tidal. Can't someone get "lossless" audio by just buying a CD, and uploading/ripping it to their computer as a FLAC?
