Moved to Tidal. Reviews from some tech-site said "It's like Spotify 10 years ago." as if that's a bad thing.

Loving the FLAC quality and non-enshittification.

Tidal lost me immediately when it took 3 months for them to recognize my cancelation of my subscription.

Tidal didn't work when I had all my privacy settings enabled. It straight up didn't work on the browser on Linux while blocking trackers. If I can't run your app with full blocker settings, then I am not going to run your app.

I'm saying I don't have $0.0003

Umm what? That I wasn't happy I got charged three months for a service I repeatedly cancelled?

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think the confusion is that you basically said "Tidal lost me when they lost me."

[–] ThunderclapSasquatch@startrek.website 4 points 4 hours ago

I canceled to shift my charge date originally. Then it became permanent

I moved to qobus. It's not owned by untied states capital.

And there’s some great quality CLI applications that let you rip source quality FLACs!

I tried Tidal but they have a glitch on their app where downloaded songs get stuck and playlists stop downloading. They’ve had a bug open about it for at least three years last I checked. It may sound niche, but I’m often traveling and use offline music regularly
