Which one do you prefer?
I am seeing plenty of mixed opinions about both Spotify and Tidal. Some are saying Spotify is the best, others say it’s bloated, others think it’s annoying it’s also an app for podcasts. Some people really like Tidal, but I have mostly seen negative opinions about it - worse song recommendations, no difference in audio, too expensive.
As someone who doesn’t care very much for song recommendations I can’t decide which one is ideal for me personally. Tidal seems to pay artists better, but the criticism it receives makes me unsure. What do y’all think?
I switched to Tidal after Spotify suddenly killed the API libspotify was using.
It takes a while for Tidal to “learn” what kind of music I like. I think Spotify got it sooner. Now the recommendations are pretty good.
I hate that they copied the weird queue management from Spotify. What can’t I just tell the player to play another album after the one that is currently playing finishes? It surprises me it is not a more common compliant.
