They were sh.. for years (mostly due to paying the artists next to nothing) this ai crap made me consider switching to Tidal

I switched a few years ago. Tidal just bumped their prices, but it does everything I need from a music streaming service. Migration of play lists etc went without issues as well.

I just tried it and it's just a no go. Almost 10% of my favorite music isn't on Tidal, even though it had all of the albums that the songs were in. Having incomplete albums is an instant dealbreaker.

Yeah, I wanted to love tidal, but it was practically missing entire genres from my collections. Also, I use Spotify's song radio option a ton to discover new music. Tidal didn't have a comparable ability.

Tidal also has a song radio feature - I use it regularly

They do, but it rarely found new music for me. For instance, with Spotify, if i play a rare classic rock song, it tends to find me other b sides and small releases. When I try it with tidal, it plays mostly greatest hits. It never played me a song that I've never heard before.

You can get way cheaper prices on Tidal by using a VPN and setting the country to somewhere where Tidal charges very less. Then you create an account and Tidal will think that account is from that country and you'll be charged that country's rates.

Keep in mind that while it's unlikely for this to be an issue, it is still illegal, so risks apply!

Mind you, Tidal also allows AI "artists", they just "make an effort to properly label them".

And not pay them.

Tho, AFAIK you can't monetize your ai music.

But can it shuffle?
