Tidal Downloads Open For Business

Posted by: ChrisH on 12 December 2015

Received an e mail today from Tidal informing me that their Download shop was now open for business.

Ive had a little look around it and it seems mp3 or FLAC are the options available, though as usual no details regarding provenance. I also cant find so far any details regarding bit rate which would discourage me from downloading anything I think.

Some of the pricing seems more aligned to HD Tracks, but other titles (I guess depending upon the deals they have with individual labels) are a lot more competitive.

So far Im also not seeing any discounts for subscribers to their Hi-Fi service, as Qobuz do, which is a bit disappointing.

Still, its just been launched, lets see how it gets tweaked as it progresses.

Expensive. Looks like they're hoping to emulate HDTracks UK. I hope they fail at those prices.
