One thing that annoys me about Tidal is that they can change an album after it's been released.
sounds a bit odd - any idea why this happens?

Rights on samples maybe. Explict lyrics possibly. Artist discretion or the record company I guess. I think it's going to be a constantly shifting landscape as artist and labels try to get a better deal from streaming.
I'm not even sure that music without videos isn't a bit niche for the money side of the music biz.

There's constant expiration and renegotiation of contracts, labels distributing stuff digitally they don't explicitly have rights to, etc

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.

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.
