    I used Tidal for a bit and quite liked it, though it has quite a few gaps in its library compared to Spotify and YouTube Music. I signed up for Dolby Atmos music, which was hella cool but I blew through all the Dolby Atmos content I wanted to hear before the 30 day trial was up.

    Quality wise, as others have said if you’re using standard Bluetooth SBC it doesn’t matter anyway. If you’ve got decent gear and actually use it then it’s worth paying for Hi-Fi but that’s not most people.

    Free trial though. Can’t go wrong with that.




  • Yeah it does kinda matter, which is problematic for onboarding new users. Personally:

    • I read the rules/TOS.
    • I checked the Instances page to make sure instances I wanted to access were linked and not blocked.
    • I looked for any introduction posts to see what the backend infrastructure was like.
    • I checked the username I wanted was available.

    It should not be that complicated, but it also has to be unfortunately. I had to make sure all those things matched what I personally wanted. This much choice is great for heavily-invested tech nerds with free time but sucks for anyone else wanting to join in.
