Good to know. Interesting. Thank you. I ask as I did the trial in conjunction with Tidal and personally saw no value over Spotify's artist/genre features. I am sure I was missing stuff, but even so, it's lifetime cost is five years of Spotify. Who knows where streaming will be in five years time.
I think I may go back to Spotify to be honest. Lots of music is missing from Tidal that I listen to regularly and I hate to say it, but my equipment/my ear really doesn't seem to hear any difference between the Ogg Vorbis 320kbps Spotify tracks and Tidal HiFi or Master when using my laptop with my Dragonfly (can decode MQA). I also feel like MQA is some marketing BS. And it's more expensive and the UI isn't as good, nor is the community playlist aspect which I enjoy and so on and so forth. Maybe one day I'd re-sub but for now I think Spotify wins for me.
On some tracks, I can hear a slight difference but I have to listen in a really unnatural, analytical way that I'd never do in real life. So, yeah, bye bye for now, Tidal.
