Moved to Tidal. Reviews from some tech-site said "It's like Spotify 10 years ago." as if that's a bad thing.
Loving the FLAC quality and non-enshittification.
I moved to qobus. It's not owned by untied states capital.
I love Qobus. I heard they also pay the artists more fairly. It's just unfortunate that some big artists are still missing. And from what I can see subscriptions only work via the Google Play store.
And there’s some great quality CLI applications that let you rip source quality FLACs!
Tidal lost me immediately when it took 3 months for them to recognize my cancelation of my subscription.
Tidal didn't work when I had all my privacy settings enabled. It straight up didn't work on the browser on Linux while blocking trackers. If I can't run your app with full blocker settings, then I am not going to run your app.
Umm
Umm what? That I wasn't happy I got charged three months for a service I repeatedly cancelled?
I think the confusion is that you basically said "Tidal lost me when they lost me."
A customer can come back in the future. But probably not after this.
I canceled to shift my charge date originally. Then it became permanent
It sounds like they lost you in 3 months, not immediately.
I tried Tidal but they have a glitch on their app where downloaded songs get stuck and playlists stop downloading. They’ve had a bug open about it for at least three years last I checked. It may sound niche, but I’m often traveling and use offline music regularly
