Also the only one with a Linux client

It's unofficially done by some Devs in their free time. I low key hate that it's publicised as having a Linux client, other devices also have unofficial clients.

Tidal also has Tidal-HiFi, an electron wrapper of the web client that enables HiFi music, which is pretty much all I care for a desktop client. It also pays artists much better so... Yeah.

I can't see any free tier, does this mean you're telling the OP and all free users of Spotify to get fucked?

For all intents and purposes it's the same client, I see no difference between the 'official' client on Windows and the Linux version

https://github.com/spotbye/SpotiFLAC Why use Tidal when you can just take the FLACs from Tidal for free?

[–] fushuan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because the product is good and artists earn money that way. Idk.

I don't need the music industry using my money for forward anti-consumer practices, thanks. Its unethical to buy music from the industry. Go see a gig, buy a shirt.

I rather use the page directly and have ublock deal with ads

There's an unofficial one for Pandora as well. I'm not claiming Pandora is a great service, it just comes ad free with my phone plan.

While it's got its faults, I'm a Pandora guy and find it vastly superior to Spotify, particularly when trying to find new music

i use web and android apps for yt music and bandcamp

For Qobuz there is an unofficial native client, with DAC passthrough: https://github.com/vicrodh/qbz

Works very well.
