Tidal adds a free component and brings the HiFi song to its $ 10 plan

adds a free, ad-supported component where it seeks to develop users. This method, currently available in the US, to the entire Tidal library of 80 million songs and playlists. Service that it brings the free segment to “remain competitive” with its competitors, eight months after Square in the company. Tidal says the system runs on Android and is “available on all devices in the coming days.”

There are more ads than occasional ads, yes. The volume is very high at 160 kbps, there is no online audio stream and you do not seem to have any unlimited jumps. Subsequent events are clearly listed as part of the revised plans for $ 10 / month of Tidal HiFi.

Mafunde users on the platform can now listen to HiFi-type music – up to 1,411 kbps. There are no ads and you can access over 350,000 videos. Users will be able to listen to HiFi-type music on connected devices via Tidal Connect, and will be able to follow and share their emotions through new preferences.

In addition, there is a $ 20 / month HiFi Plus plan. It includes everything from the HiFi band, as well as high-quality audio up to 9,216 kbps. The system also offers in-depth, audio formats, such as Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Reality Audio, as well as access to upcoming content. All HiFi plans are available in all countries where Tidal operates.

In addition, the HiFi Plus section has some new features that focus on artists. One of them is the direct payment of artists, which Tidal is releasing today. Each month, 10 percent of HiFi Plus subscription fees (i.e. $ 2) go to the most attentive artists. That’s on top of the always flowing royalties. It’s another way for readers to support their favorite artists.

Tidal states that “fees paid to HiFi Plus subscribers will not be included.” Payments will be made accordingly to each user, but only individually. HiFi Plus users will be able to see how the money is distributed through their operations.

In addition to redesigning the payment system, Tidal seeks to ensure that paid payments are “prompt and seamless” for artists around the world. It works with , and leading them.

Apple Music lost and audible Dolby Atmos in June. Amazon Music Unlimited HD and Ultra HD screens in May. They also provide as part of a fixed system.

So far, many of Tidal’s competitors have been offering free options supported by advertisers, including Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer and YouTube Music. On the other side of the scale, Spotify in February to release a CD-type plan, also known as HiFi, in selected markets later this year. It doesn’t have to be.
