Lol there is a diffenrence.

I guess I have better than average equipment tho other wise I wouldn't use my hard drive space to rip in flac or wav I'd just make a 320kpbs mp3. But I can hear the difference.

I copped that PRHYME album by DJ Premier and Royce Da 5'9 off Amazon over a week ago..

Normally, most albums you buy off Amazon are 'Autorip'.. which means even with the hard copy, the MP3 files can be downloaded through an Amazon music app to your hard drive

However this album didn't have that feature so I ripped it to my system in 'lossless' format (due to the hype), listened to it on my earphones and..

Like someone here said there's hardly any difference between lossless sound and your 320 KBPS MP3 file sound or even FLAC files.

I'll have to say. Pretty good gimmick Tidal are running with

That shit is goat

What brand of earphones do you have?

Not all encodings are the same. Bet that a lossless encoding coming from a studio will be miles ahead of whatever random misconfigured program that you're using.

My 2 cents about the service.

I'm a pirate. I torrent everything. Movies comics music so I felt I had no need for this service. I recently had to replace my phone and because the way my life is setup, I haven't had time to load any music back onto my phone. This service launched around the Same time so I decided to try it out.

I didn't know they made such a big deal launching it. I knew jay bought the service and that the audio was lossless. And..... I got it for free for a month.

Almost a month in and I love the service. I definantaly hear a difference with the headphones I use. Beats studio 2 and v moda m100. I like having access to whatever I want to hear when I want to hear it.

Is it worth $20 a month? Probably not to most. I'll probably keep it for another month until apple and beats announces what they are going to do with their service since I have a vested interest in the company.
 
Numbers don’t lie: Jay-Z’s Tidal a spectacular flop

When Tidal made its big media push at the end of March, the core message was clear: While other streaming music services like Spotify and Pandora pay a pittance to artists, Tidal offers musicians a better deal. Unfortunately, Tidal also opted to use super stars like Nicki Minaj and Beyonce as spokespersons for the app. The result was the ultimate mixed message: You should feel sorry about how little money Nicki makes.

Two weeks after Tidal briefly cracked the U.S. iPhone top 20 download chart, the app has crashed out of the top 700. Apparently American consumers have limited empathy towards Beyonce and Nicki. Soon after the launch fiasco, Tidal’s CEO was kicked out in a “streamlining” move. The new CEO Peter Tonstad, a former consultant for the Norwegian Ministry of Environment, has his work cut out for him.

To make matters worse for Tidal, its main rivals are now surging. On April 20th, Pandora and Spotify occupied positions No. 3 and No. 4 on the U.S. iPhone revenue chart, respectively. This was the first time two music streaming services have hit the top 4 in sales simultaneously. In order to achieve the feat, Pandora and Spotify had to push out Candy Crush Saga out of U.S. iPhone top 4 revenue chart, which is a remarkable achievement.

As a matter of fact, something curious can be seen in Spotify’s download performance right after Tidal media campaign started bashing its allegedly meager payouts. Spotify surged back into the iPad Top 40 download chart on March 31st, right when Tidal’s anti-Spotify invective hit fever peak in American media. This had not happened since November 2014.

It looks like Tidal’s attacks on Spotify and Pandora actually managed to increase public awareness of the services, boosting particularly Spotify’s download performance at the end of March. And now, a few weeks later, the combined revenue performance of the two music apps is hitting a new milestone. To add insult to injury, Beats Music has started cracking U.S. iPhone top 20 revenue chart.

This is the problem with attacking popular apps – negative media coverage often ends up just boosting them. Twitter rode a flurry of mocking or downright hostile news items to mainstream success. Snapchat leveraged sexual panic of US media about naughty photos to becoming a teen obsession. You can’t badmouth a strong app into a decline. In the hyper competitive app market, any media attention buoys apps with genuine consumer appeal.

Tidal is now facing no fewer than three deep-pocketed rival music apps and they’re all minting money and riding strong momentum. The new CEO must somehow find a way to mop up after the ill-advised March launch and find a way to reposition Tidal in a crowded market… preferably by not trying to make consumers feel bad for multimillionaires. Or mentioning giving its rivals extra attention.
 
According to Pitchfork, Jay-Z has been so desperate that he is actually personally calling subscribers to “thank them” for joining the service. From the looks of things, Jay-Z and friends are set to lose millions from the new Tidal

the bolded is why tidal messed up. they bought rich sucessfull artists and tried to paint them as poor struggling artists that need the money. That combined with no free version with commercials screwed up Tidals success. Jay can call as many fans as he wants but Tidal really ignorantly came into the market with one exclusive thing most people dont want (Flac lossless streaming).
 
I watched the promo Vid and the message I got was, make me richer. The artists that were sitting at the table weren't the most talented, forward thinking or creative. Just the most popular and financially successful. So, when I hear statements like art, and love of music these aren't the artist that come to mind. So, with all that said, lossless digital formats isn't appealing to me so, I will stick with rdio for mobile. While I continue to purchase vinyl and cd's to listen to at the crib.
