Move to Qobuz which is more ethical

Qobuz vs TIDAL, go! (Curious to know more, if someone is willing to do a comparison that has experience with both, or either.)

I trialed Tidal and thought it was fine. Just Fine. I’m trying Qobuz right now. It seems like all the things I like from Bandcamp but there’s also a paid streaming service. The audio sounds great on Qobuz and I like the option of buying HiRes albums for my local media server. I’m an iOS loser, and they just updated Apple Music with finally some good crossfade. I’m a simpleton and that appeals a lot to me. I can’t find crossfade setting on Qobuz for iOS. I feel like I would pick Qobuz over Tidal just for the ease of downloading my music to my Zune/iPod/subsonic/jellyfin.

Easy comparison. Tidal is not ethical. With investors like Black rocks ...they're devil financing wars and genocide.

I don't know who Black Rocks is or whether or not they finance wars and genocide. I also couldn't find anything regarding them investing in TIDAL. Can you confirm with sources for either claim?

When I was making money, I'd buy albums from bands I liked. Built up a nice library.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I'd love to buy the entire discographies of all the hundreds of artists I follow on Spotify. 💀 Simply not feasible.

That's why I originally went Google music. I thought Spotify was garbage and didn't have that shit I wanted, still true today 🤣
