Is the music quality on Tidal way better like I’ve heard?
Because it’s close enough in price I’m wondering if YT Music is worth it, as it comes with YT Premium as well.
Never heard of Tidal. Maybe I’ll check it out but I do only listen via phone speaker and cheap earbuds so probably just stick to adblocked YTM.
You can get a free trial of Tidal and you can probably rent a good quality headset from a big music store for a reasonable price. This would let you check if you can notice a difference.
Also libraries sometimes have awesome gear to borrow if you are near one that is cool. With catching out if it means free
Tidal is higher quality and doesn’t give money directly to Google
Quality or catalogue.
If you use Bluetooth headset you want catalogue. You won’t notice a difference.
But if you are an audiophile tidal but only if you pay for the highest quality.
Honestly wish my country would just create a public repository for art and culture and cut out ornate interests. But that’s legally a silly idea
Tidal doesn’t charge extra for high res anymore, everyone gets it.
Oh fantastic thank you
Tidal uses FLAC codec which is vastly superior to YTM’s AAC. YTM takes the lead in quantity of content with all sorts of remixes and other music being uploaded daily. I would say it will all depend on what kind of equipment you are going to use to listen to the music on and if it will allow you to hear the difference in the two services offerings.
If you’re mainly using Bluetooth earbuds or other cheaper speakers there likely won’t be that much of a difference in perceived sound quality.
No need for the likely-qualifier - it definitely won’t make a difference in perceived sound quality.
You basically need expensive gear under the right conditions and training to be able to tell. Modern audio codecs are extremely good - the main thing you will get out of lossless is more storage/data usage
