Tidal brings high quality music streaming to users in Thailand



Tidal is a new high fidelity music streaming platform backed by superstar rapper turned businessman Jay Z, along with fifteen of his superstar mates, who also happen to be some of the biggest names in music.

The service, which will compete against likes of Spotify, Pandora, iTunes, YouTube, Deezer and others, promises “the first music streaming service that combines the best High Fidelity sound quality, High Definition music videos and expertly Curated Editorial.”

It’s main selling point is that it offers enhanced “lossless” sound quality, exclusive tracks and content from artists, however, this comes at price.

Tidal launches in Thailand on April 30th, 3pm Bangkok time.

Well, this is good news, I guess, in the sense that it means one more international streaming service is available here. But having a bunch of celebrity investors does not impress me, in fact it totally turns me off, they're rich enough already. I'd rather be using Spotify, but geoip blocks prevent me from using the service easily. At this point, I've been downloading or torrenting music (for lack of alternatives) for so long that it's just become a habit now, and a hard habit to break.

But I don't want to listen to any of the utter rubbish he puts out.

Read an article that says it's already flopped.

People are just not willing to pay more for the sound quality.

Seems Jay-Z, Kanye West and Beyonce are very disappointed (they're the owners).

This has been all over the tech & media news in the US that it bombed massively right after launch and already the celebs are distancing themselves from it and Kanye deleted a bunch of his Tweets about it a few days ago lol

If you can't use Spotify, Deezer is a similar app that I use that does here.

I've just been listening to a selection of tracks on my JBL studio monitors - the sound quality lives up to the hype.

The UI I'm not so sure about, and there's some surprising holes in the library for a service that pitches itself to audiophiles...

I'm yet to see a Jay Z tune in it

I'm not sure just how many tunes it has, but it's a lot.

Give me some titles and artists and I'll look them up
