Tidal has officially rolled out a new hi-res streaming plan today (April 10), combining its lossless audio and hi-res tiers into one new Individual plan for $10.99 / £10.99 / AU$12.99 per month. That's good news for hi-res music streaming fans like myself and cuts the monthly subscription price for access to Tidal's hi-res music content to the same price as Apple Music.
Tidal's HiFi and HiFi Plus subscription plans no longer exist — HiFi Plus subscribers will switch to the new plan automatically.
Who owns TIDAL?
Tidal is currently majority owned by Block Inc., which is helmed by Jack Dorsey and Jim McKelvey. Jay-Z is currently on the board of directors.
Does TIDAL offer classical music?
Yes. TIDAL’s music library has Puccino, Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, and more works.
Doesn't Spotify have a HiFi version?
In 2021, Spotify announced an upcoming HiFi tier, but as of November 2024, it has yet to roll out. We have not heard any update from Spotify about its future HiFi plans.
Apologies if this post is not appropriate for the sub but figured some people might be interested to hear - I just received an email from Tidal saying their Hifi and Hifi plus subscriptions are merging and the new price is going to be $10.99 starting in April (down from $21 ish for Hifi plus).
Sharing only because I switched recently from Spotify and have been following the forever rumors of lossless Spotify streaming, etc. new price makes it an even more compelling offering imo.
