I'm very against this (and any) fraud, and the evidence here is pretty damning. But I've been using Tidal since about a year before Jay-Z bought it, and it was and still is my favorite streaming service. Super fast and pretty UI, lossless audio, and a selection that now seems to rival Spotify's.

I'll admit my main reason for using it is the wide selection of albums to losslessly stream.

I know many people will say any differences in lossless audio are explained by the placebo effect (which could be true), but I've already spent thousands on the best audio system I could afford, so I figure I might as well spend a little bit extra on the source material as well. (I know many people will say there's no difference with lossless whether you have a good system or not, and that there's also no difference between a low-end and a high-end system regardless of compression, but my experience of both differs, even if it may all be in my head.)

There is a test online that shows you 2 mp3 encodings and a wav and you have to pick out the wav. I couldn't get any right but my bf got them all correct so there could be some small noticeable difference between mp3 320kbps and lossless. Personally I store flacs because I want to use Opus instead of mp3 on mobile and mp3 to opus will trash the quality

It is my main online music service, mostly for the fast / minimal UI that seems to work quite well even on slower machines and navigates well back and forth between items.

It's one of the best streaming service experiences I've encountered.

Yes I use them too for the same reasons (via Roon to various endpoints and DACs). I just couldn’t resist the double entendre about fidelity.
