Exciting news for Audiophiles is that Tidal HiFi will now drop to the same price as Tidal's base subscription for an individual plan of $11/month as of April 10, 2024. Not so great for those who use Tidal with software such as Serato, VirtualDJ, or Algoriddum djay Pro is that Tidal will add $9 monthly to the base subscription. As per the digital trends article, "For those who want to be able to access the Tidal library via software and hardware-based DJ tools, an add-on fee of $9 per month will be needed."

Over the past couple of months, Serato and djay Pro removed the ability to use Stems; separate tracks for voice, drums, and melody with Tidal's streaming music because they say it falls within a different licensing/copyright tier. Could this additional $9 per month bring back the ability to use Stems with Tidal? Or is this just a new DJ tax for the privilege to connect Tidal streaming?

Apple Music recently became available on djay Pro without increasing its subscription cost. My take is that Tidal is going to use the additional $9 from DJs to bring back Stems which would be pretty awesome. What do you think?

Haven’t fired my controller up since I’ve been at work. Anyhow, I paid for a new HIFI subscription through the add and learned afterward of the new “DJ extension”

I cancelled on Apple, but it gives me no option on the website to add an extension
