    I switched to Tidal a few weeks ago, primarily because of lossless streaming, but also fuck Spotify for your price hikes. Not going back.

      How’s the artist selection? I find a lot of stuff on Spotify that is a bit niche and I wondering if they have it. I tried searching the catalog which they say you can do but not before you sign up for their free trial which I’m not willing to

        So far I’ve found everything I looked for, and a few new ones too. Their app features for lyrics and other songs you might like work great. Admittedly, I’m an old metal head who loves singing to a song at the top of the voice, out of tune of course, so I might not be skirting the kinds of niches you like.

        I find there are a few niche artists/songs that arnt on tidal, but it still had a majority as well as some new options of the same genre

        Imo spotify had way better playlists (a lot of specific user created ones are great) but u can just transfer the playlist to tidal with a site

        I was using tidal and spotify for a bit, as tidal works with my dj software, but they just added a new pay teir for using it for those softwares :/

        Overall i still used spotify more than tidal but i didn’t have a bad time on tidal

      I did the same. Paying $11 a month and getting lossless has been a big plus. There were a few songs that were unavailable from my liked songs when moving to Tidal but I also had noticed several songs on my Spotify were unavailable as well too.

      My only gripe so far is the Android app drains my battery more than Spotify did, even in the lowest streaming quality.
