    So now that Tidal has moved its Hi-Fi tier price down to match Apple’s wtf is Spotify doing? Charging more than the competition, paying artists less, and not even offering lossless?

      Spotify is less vulnerable to customer churn compared to TV/movie streaming services, as users are less likely to switch music streaming providers due to the hassle of rebuilding playlists and losing personalized recommendations.

          yes but often there are some mixups… which is a PITA for those of us with ~10K+ songs

            I’m an album man so while I have beyond that many tracks it’s more seemless for me.

          Would you happen to have one to recommend to switch from Spotify to apple music? I’m thinking about moving but my playlists are keeping me from leaving.

            I used TuneMyMusic when I switched to Amazon Music a few months ago. It worked really well. It costs $4 or $5 to subscribe for a month but it’s a huge time saver.

            I moved all my music using the SongShift app on iOS which was super convenient. At least when I bought it, it was a 1 time cost of like $5, not sure about now. But it matches songs and lets you see which ones don’t line up and then copies the playlist over exactly the same.

      And as long as people keep subscribing to them, they’ll March right along collecting that sweet money.

      Spotify has over 200mill paying subscribers and over 600mill total I believe. They an afford the peel off unfortunately.

      From what I can tell Tidal won’t even publish their subscribers so it must be pretty small.
