European company and employs a lot of people in Europe

Seems like they donated to Trump’s inauguration, do people know how much?

      Qobuz sounds slightly better to me on my higher end system than tidal. it isalso very reasonably priced. It will also import playlists from other platforms in a very no hassle way. If you are set on using a streaming service, qobuz should be at the top of your list.

      Biggest issue I see so far is that there is no ‘connect’ type streaming possible to my Samsung Soundbar, but I bet I can still cast so it’ll be fine. I wasn’t very impressed with Tidal’s apps anyway.

      I just looked into it and it might be. Thing is I now have a family subscription for 17 euros which only my mother uses. She’s just gotten used to Tidal so it’ll be a stretch for her to switch.

      I’ll keep it in mind for now, thanks for the tip!

        I understand haha, at least you know you have options should you/she want to make the switch sometime. Certainly use up your subscription first tho!

          I had another look at things and I’ll stick with Tidal. As I read it, Tidal was originally European anyway (Swedish) and it’s still Europe based even though they also have a location in the US. All those musicians that bought into it sold their majority (Jay-Z sold 80% of his shares).

          They are transparent about what they pay artists and are second to Qobuz on that. Qobuz is more for scouting music and even though I wouldn’t mind doing that sometimes, I can’t see my mum browsing catalogs to find hidden gems.
