the only way this even competes is if they tie meet and greets and or concert tickets to the service. fuck behind the scenes shit nigga this ain't the 90s or early 2000's. People want to be at shows and people want toe meet artists. They should check accounts and raffle off meet and greets/Q&A's with some artists. Same thing with concerts. They should offer presale access to tidal customers. If they limit these features to people who have the $20 a month plan and only allow 1 year or x amount of years of continued service to access these things they will get loyalty. Otherwise niggas gon have the free trial and keep it moving.

are people willing to pay $20 a month for something they can access for free? I don't see the real value of it, but I do think that a Digital label that provide exclusive content that you have to pay for will be the future of music.

Because we're taking all this free music for granted and in the long term, the "music store" is going to be streaming websites for new music. Even Youtube will eventually charge a subscription service for exclusive content and channels, you think for a minute them Youtube stars won't sign a deal for that ?

What Jay-Z is doing is playing real life monopoly because he can exclusively sell his and his artists' music on #Tidal at a premium and you'll pay for it because it's Jay-Z and co. and you can't get it anywhere else. The price will become more competitive over time. This is not a new company they've been around for a while and already have a customer base so obviously SOMEBODY was paying for this. Give it some time so it can work it's prices to be more competitive.

i hope that theyre not arrogant enough to think that people just wont buy their shit rather than spend 20 a month on streaming music...hopefully they keep the 10 dollar sticking point

that said im more comfotable with rhapsody than spotify, google, tidal, or any other service...to the point where if it dont come out on rhapsody i wont bother listening...im probably in the minority...taylor swift sold something like 1.2 mil in the first week...but how much of that was the suddenness of the release and the super cheap prices of the physical version...

now if they found a way to stream quality music, videos, and performances for the same price that would be something...

It does stream the videos

youtube streaming and hov e hov having exclusive albums come out only on tidal are way far down the pipeline. Remember when CD's were supposed to not be in stores by now? Remember by now niggas was supposed to be flying cars and shit?. Change takes time and the way things change is a crapshoot.

Lets say Jigga releases a cole album only on tidal will people really buy the service just for that? Lets say a big time youtube artist or 2 only shows shit on youtube subscriptions you think niggas really gon pay?

Part of any successful youtube channel or rap artist is the idea that content can be spread for free. That's excatly why Nikki Minaj or Tyga has 4 times as many followers than people that actually buy their album. That's why a youtube protoge goes from a free channel like Spoken Reasons to paid comedy shows and movie roles.

You can't limit content from bootlegging and still expect a brand to grow. Letting people bootleg a J cole album or letting someone watch spoken reasons on tv will turn into a person buying a concert ticket or paying for a comedy show/movie. Word to Wu Tangs special 1 copy album that shit don't work it will backfire.

 

[Thereal_ba]

Like someone else has said, this would be worth it if they provide more than an album record, Live Streaming a concert/show, Q&A with fans, Mini Documentary/Reality behind the scenes

 

[S2J]

Im technogically behind bc the whole market doesnt make sense to me

Why would you pay to STREAM music?!?!? As opposed to owning just what you want. And for random music use Pandora which is free (it is still free right). I dont get it

 

[CJ]

For ppl who don't care to own and keep up with their own music libraries, saves memory on your phone, tablet etc & the libraries are huge most streaming services have upward of 20mil songs.

I get it but I'm not one of those ppl I still buy mostly physical copies.

it's a one stop shop basically. you can do the pandora thing & listen to stations but it also keeps your library.

Pandoras library is miniature compared to everyone else's too

I had to come through with the nosign on part of this post. If Jigga releases a Cole album on TIDAL that may not be enough incentive to sign up, but the benefit of having this same ability with multiple artists or making it exclusive to the streaming site more regularly with the same artist could be enough pull.

Also, bootlegging could help artist popularity expand through word of mouth, but is the value in this large potential enough to eat that loss. If that person isn't even interested in buying an album, its more unlikely that they would be willing to drop the dough for a concert or movie featuring the artist. I think that the loss is not worth the word of mouth enough to not at least attempt to combat bootlegging.

Niggas talking bout it's not worth it already like he relaunched this a couple years ago.... Its only been a day I'm pretty sure all the stuff that ppl are looking for for this to be seen as worth it is coming down the pipe.... Beyonce had her album exclusive to iTunes Drake had his exclusive to iTunes.... Give these artist the actual control over the actual streaming site the music is being streamed from and all the extras and exclusive music is coming just give it more then 24 hours sheesh
