On Monday, the company announced that free users globally will now be able to search and play any song they want or play a song shared by a friend or an artist they follow on social media.
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.
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?
So Block owns TIDAL, and BlackRock owns some shares in Block, and BlackRock does some shady investments.
I dunno man. I don’t know how far/many steps back I should take before I consider it far enough removed from the unethical practices. It’s not like TIDAL invests in war and genocide. Right?
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.)

Thanks for that input!
Easy comparison. Tidal is not ethical. With investors like Black rocks …they’re devil financing wars and genocide.

BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager, overseeing trillions of dollars for governments, corporations, and individuals.
So I see. I still can’t find anywhere that says they invested in TIDAL.
But does that make TIDAL unethical? Does the poison run up the water stream or down?

You give money to Tidal, that gives money to investors that use this money to finance wars.
