Re: [slim] Tidal - not very good for classical music enthusiasts
I've found enough classical music on Tidal to make it worthwhile -if- it were easier to find. A search on Mahler will not bring up anywhere near the number of Mahler recordings they have available. You have to search on composer and artist, and even then I'm not sure it's finding everything. And you can't browse around; you have to know what you are looking for.

Re: [slim] Tidal - not very good for classical music enthusiasts
I'm also one of those classical music users. Qobuz is probably the service to choose in our case, but they do have their shortcomings. Google Music works great for all types of music, but is not lossless, so we'll have to wait and see who best serves the classical crowd in the future. Wimp/Tidal was always disappointing for me, their focus is clearly not on classical content, you can see that best when you look at their classical Playlist selection...

Re: [slim] Tidal - not very good for classical music enthusiasts
I guess that at some point in a not too distant future loss-less we be normal and for some time stuff like high bitrate/DSD streaming will be premium as nowadays lossy versus loss-less. With qobuz and tidal already into loss-less and them getting more momentum it will be just a matter of time that others like Spotify will follow. And likely some one will up the ante and starts offering DSD streams. I just read elsewhere that next month a test is done to stream a concert of the Berliner symphonic orchestra from Japan in DSD. does the all-black SB sound better than the white SB? hsmeets's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9716 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103459 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Squeezemenicely wrote: I have had Wimp/Tidal Hifi for a while now, lossless streaming is a good thing. But content - to me - is even more important. With Tidal the selection of classical music is rather limited. Actually so limited, that it is more like a service for someone who once in a while wants to listen to mainstream classical recordings. I've disconinued TIDAL not only because it's classical catalog is not that great, but becasue it is a Spotify clone where the SONG rules and composer is an ARTIST. Given the new ownership, I firmly believe this model will get even worse. I use qobuz where the concept of album is nicelly used. Somebody on another group brought to my attention a streaming service from ArkivMusic, it is avaliable in US only and mp3 at 320kbps. I love their website organization and categorization into Conductors, Composers, Artist, Ensembles etc., the drill down funcitonality works very well. Since I don't live in US I'm not using the streaming service, but perhaps this is the future of classical music streaming. Worth supporting.
