Apple Music Tidal adding Dolby Atmos & lossless to standard plan

[Viridian5]

Got an e-mail this morning from Tidal stating:

Starting April 10, 2024, you will now get access to our music library in full lossless, HiRes FLAC, and Dolby Atmos sound for the same price you pay today​

I’ve been using both Apple Music and Tidal for a few months and this will likely lead me to cancel Apple Music entirely. IMO Tidal is far better - it’s a shame more people don’t give it a chance.

This new information is probably sad, because I, too, find IMO Tidal is far better

Nice little breakdown of what is to come...

Stopped using Tidal a few years ago but this might make me check them out again

Thanks for that!

I love Tidal - best quality music for my home Mac Studio and on the road with my car's Hifi...

I’ve been using Tidal premium/hifi at about $20/month for years but figured I’d make the jump to an Apple One bundle that includes their music and save a few bucks (compared to paying for the separate apps.)

But after trying Apple Music for a couple months now, it has been stopping/freezing after the fifth song fairly regularly (I generally like to play complete albums), requires rebooting. FWIW, I’m using the current Ios.

Now that Tidal is lowering their price of the premium version, staying with it is more compelling, especially given the issues I’ve been having with Apple Music.
