I'm buying about 30 records a month but I do still have tidal at £10. I didn't find the higher quality version worthwhile but that's just cost cutting and largely due to the fact that I'm listening to a lot of music on vinyl as well as searching for decent versions even on CD.
One thing that annoys me about Tidal is that they can change an album after it's been released. Dropping tracks etc.
I'm also recording all my albums at 96/24 so I don't use the download codes. I don't get them in anywhere near 99% of the releases though. Leaving 12" and 7" aside I still only seem to get download codes with 50% of the LPs if that. I am buying quit a bit of Analogue Productions/Mofi/Speakers Corner though so that might skew the numbers.
Sure its definitely the ideal, i just dont want to fork out £20/mo for it.
If im paying for Roon, and I buy most of my music on vinyl (99% of which comes with a FLAC download), im not also going to spend £20/mo on tidal
