I really wanted to like tidal, but honestly it's not really good. The search sucks, no offline mode on desktop, no official Linux client, an incomplete catalog...
It's not worth it, even if they are the least bad for paying artists.
*for you it isn't
what's wrong with it? works fine for me
why would you need it? it's supported on phones, just listen via phone?
Neither does apple music. Tidal are open sourcing their SDK though
*for you. for me there isn't
Again, for you. On paper, tidal is the better option and I rather support artists than some questionable monopolistic corporation
This is perhaps the stupidest response I've read on Lemmy for a while. Nobody is entitled to an opinion these days.
Im expecting a response, quoting each paragraph I wrote, with only 'For you' as the text.
But you're better being personal?
I don't agree. He wrote it like it was absolute, whereas it's a personal opinion. Like you stated correctly.
well it's neither nor. I'm also pissed that there's no Linux client, and they didn't even try to make their windows client run in wine. so it's not just one person's opinion as i hereby confirm.
Not saying it's not a valid point against tidal overall. I would also enjoy me a linux native client. However I don't see why this is a valid point against tidal and for apple music.
Having said that. I found a bug in their windows client and the devs are very much receptive for feedback. Maybe in the future when more people use Linux they'll come around and make one. Or the community will with tidal's open source SDK.
Why do you keep mentioning apple music? OP never made any comparison to it or any other streaming service. He just communicated why the service didn't work for him and you felt compelled to inform him that how he feels is his opinion?
You're missing the point I'm trying to make. He's stating his opinion, which his absolutely valid for him, but concludes that in general it's not worth it and that it is not good. The only thing I did was mark his opinions, also mark my opinions, but conclude that in the general case there's no better option. I only wanted to draw attention to this style of rhetoric which I don't like as a discussion culture.
Btw I also don't like the ad homimen argument e.g. "stupidest comment I've seen" etc. That's not how a respectful discussion should be.
