![]() ![]() Tidal’s library of 25 million FLAC (open source lossless audio format) songs covers a lot of the music that’s out there and available, but definitely doesn’t include everything. That means instead of listeners having to rip a CD, manually sync it to their device, and carry around only those ripped songs, they can pull up any song on-demand.įirst, let’s talk about what the service offers. The streaming service is essentially offering CD quality music, just over-the-air. Tidal, although the first widely available streaming service to offer lossless audio quality music in the US, isn’t breaking new ground. The kind of standard and typical things most people would do to see if it was worth switching from Rdio, Beats Music, Spotify, or a candidate for someone’s first streaming music service. I’ve been intrigued by high-quality audio streaming, so when Tidal was unveiled I put it through its paces. But there’s a good chance that as long as what you’re listening to doesn’t sound grainy or static-y, it probably sounds good enough - not worth a second thought. No one wants to listen to music that sounds sub-par.
