Music enthusiasts now have a more budget-friendly option to stream high-fidelity music, as Tidal revises its subscription model to offer 24-bit audio at a significantly reduced cost. Previously priced at $19.99, Tidal’s HiFi Plus subscription is now incorporated into their $10.99 per month HiFi plan. This adjustment makes Tidal a competitive choice for those seeking high-quality music streaming services against rivals like Apple Music and Spotify.
As of April 10, Tidal restructured its pricing, meaning that even the most devoted audiophiles can enjoy 24-bit music at up to 192 kHz without breaking the bank – a decrease in cost by 45%. The service boasts an extensive range of offerings including high-res FLAC, MQA, Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Reality Audio, in addition to 100+ million songs across all subscriptions. More than 650,000 music videos, expertly-curated playlists, and an ad-free experience further enhance the Tidal experience.
Apart from individual plans, Tidal’s ‘Family’ subscription caters to up to six users for $16.99 per month, while students can benefit from the same high-quality streaming at just $4.99 per month. These adjustments place Tidal in direct competition with market leader Spotify, which offers maximum streaming quality at 320 kbit/s, far below Tidal’s potential 9216 kbit/s.
In addition to attractive pricing, Tidal aims to distinguish itself from Apple Music and Amazon Music Unlimited with superior integration into existing hi-fi systems and expertly-crafted playlists. Users interested in making the switch to Tidal can easily transfer their music library using online services like tunemymusic.com.
Tidal’s move to include HiFi Plus in the regular subscription at no extra charge emphasizes its commitment to accessible high-quality streaming, aiming to cater to audiophiles and everyday music listeners alike.
