fumi Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 they didn't even use the product in the promotion video or gave the impression to know what they are talking about. Yeah, that's a good point. They're so out of touch and insulated by wealth. It's not a good way to market your service. Wheeling out a selection of rich, pretentious fools who then try to convince you to sign up for a service to make them more money because they're saying they don't earn enough. That's a good business plan. This will fail HARD. Not to mention Apple have their new service in the wings, so the whole Tidal thing will be just a case of Jay-Z, Beyonce and co just flushing their investments down the crapper. No-one will even remember Tidal within six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassfreeKid Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 If I was taking big decisions at Spotify, I'd offer .flac streaming for 12.99$ per month instead of 9.99$ for 320 mp3 and there you go, TIDAL is officially dead and buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o00o Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 they already offer 320kbps streaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 This was inevitable. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Jay-Z asks if he can put his shit back onto Spotify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I bet you those artists that walked up on stage came out in the plus. they didn't lose money, they just milked the piss out of investors. this is boiler room 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 "tidal is a spectacular flop" http://bgr.com/2015/04/21/tidal-vs-pandora-vs-spotify/ meanwhile, spotify is worth more than the u.s. music industry Tech valuations are ridiculous though (it's also a stupid comparison, because it compares a global enterprise to one market). I'd be more interested in seeing spotify's revenue and operating costs for 2014. After all they had huge revenue gains in 2013, and still ran at a loss. They need to jack up their subscriber numbers like crazy, especially if artists are complaining about not receiving enough in royalties. Meanwhile the publishers are still laughing all the way to the bank. Here's a great read on spotify (which I have never tried, it wasn't available in Canada until very recently, afaik - anyways, I'm old, so i prefer to buy albums, though I do stream from mixcloud, soundcloud, and bandcamp). http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/11/24/revenue-streams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fumi Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 This represents everything that is wrong with music. 'In your face' marketing to back up mediocre talent, stupid gimmicks like helmets and masks, out-of-control egos and utter greed. Also, Daft Punk should ditch the helmets. They look stupid and pretentious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest skibby Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 this is one of those businesses that are planned to fail and bail. thats why they got all the high profile endorsements. they all get a cut, jay z with the biggest cut. it will be paid for by shareholders and gobbled up and lost through a mutual fund or soemthing. like one of countless companies youve never heard of that somehow become worth a billion and gobbled up by google or something.
