I've been with #Spotify for 10 years, but I'm now considering switching to #Tidal. I don't like the way Spotify is going: shifting focus to podcasts, paying shit to musicians... I'd rather see my money go to them than to Rogan.
But it's not just about me, I have my whole family on our family plan. I have to be sure about it and convince them. If you have made the switch, what had been your experience?
Ultimately, the biggest barrier to leaving #Spotify will be Spotify Connect. Some devices in the family will have to be left behind. Other than that I think #Tidal is able to completely replace Spotify.
@sesivany the main reason I'm staying with Spotify is integration. It works everywhere with everything. I also have YouTube Music as part of the Premium subscription but I don't use it much. I thought about switching but I can't. Tidal has at least built-in app in my car. Maybe if YouTube Music had it too, it might be enough for me to switch...
@sesivany im on YouTube music, and I really like it, the recommendations are better than Spotify. And as a bonus, you also get no ads on YouTube, as well as each view you give to a video pays the creator much more than an free ad supported view! There is also a family plan, I think it's the best value if you also use YouTube
@Adaoh I have a YouTube Premium subscription, so it'd be an option, but the family plan doesn't quite work for us. A long time ago we set up "business" accounts to have Gmail on a custom domain and those can't be grouped in family plans. We'd have to ditch our Google accounts first.

This was also my motivation to switch to Tidal. Unfortunately, I have had bad experiences with the Android app so far. The offline mode is garbage. Also normalizing the volume is very bad. I hope that changes soon. Otherwise I'm looking for another provider. Do you use it on iOS?
@sesivany I was Tidal user before, but they didn’t had Rammstein in library.. or they had, but not for CZ. Not sure how it is now, but be aware that some things might not be available.
