TIDAL (Equiv to Spotify) for 1.11/month SEE OP POST

TheDriver

Tidal is an excellent equivalent to Spotify.
To get it for approx 1.11 a month, you sign up through Turkey. Actual price is 9.99 Turkish Lira.
There is a family plan for 1.80 a month whereby you can have 6 members.
App is similar to spotify. Only downside is that you can't use it on an alexa speaker (unless you have a US account) except through Bluetooth from your phone app.

Steps:
a) Open a VPN and go to turkey. There are many free VPNs that offer sufficient data for a signup.
b) Open a browser and open tidal.com. The turkish website should open.
c) Register and pick your account. 9.99 Turkish Lira for individual account, 14.99 for family account.
d) after sign up, turn off VPN and enjoy TIDAL.

There are numerous free services that will transfer your playlists between services. I used tunemymusic free service for the once off transfer.

The FLAC/Master for €2.22 is incredible value! Playlist transfer happening now...I'm on spotify since the good 'ol days and this might be a turning point!

How does that compare to deezer hifi package in terms of sound quality?

Signed up for the family account. A couple of things I noticed.

1) When adding family members they must not have an account already. It complained that their country/region was different to mine
2) I've been using the Windows app and every song or two the sound cuts for a split second. Very annoying. I tried the browser app in windows too and same thing happens. I never had a issue like this with Spotify

Does your family member need to use VPN to sign up to your family account ?

No. But it works best if they don't have a current tidal account.

I've signed up to the family argentina account.

I'm trying to add a friend as a family member but it's saying

The user you are trying to add has a different country associated with his/her account.

Did anyone else get this?

The person had an account already, they gave me a different address and it's working now

Great offer, cheers OP. I used tunemymusic to transfer playlist, 17 songs total not transferred, and was very quick to process too.

Never knew that. Tried it there and works great. It's nice to ask Alexa to play stuff but much handier playing from phone for a lot of music.

I could sign up using vpn in Turkey and showing me their price for the subscription but just couldn't continue and kept saying can't accept my credit card. Tried both Revolut and a normal credit card

I'm having the same problem, even when I setup up some Lira on my Revolut card

OK,
So tried Getflix VPN for Turkey and would only give me US Dollars.
I also have KeepSolid and use this, got the Turkish site and signed up for family.

When I look at the account is says, next payment is 9.99 lira and then it says I have subscribed to family 14.99, is the total going to be 24.98? Anyone else see this?

Update:
I think you buy a plan for 9.99TL and then add 5 more members for 14.99TL, Total for Family plan is 24.98 TL

Don't want to confuse people, but I have added a family member to my account and now my sub says I will be charged 14.99TL on my next date. So to activate the family sub, add a family member. Thanks OP...Again!!

This is the greatest bargain ever. thanks a million

How does Tidal compare in terms of catalogue to Spotify?

I find it has everything I want. Give the trial a go, use tunemymusic to copy over your playlists and you'll see what's missing, if any.

does it work with Google home?

I have a chromecast audio added to Google home, and it works with that. Just cast from the tidal app to the chromecast audio
Chromecast audio plugs into any hifi, it just needs an aux connection or optical input. That way you can listen through a proper soundsytem instead of a sh1tbox smart speaker.

Shame chromecast audio was discontinued by Google. They can be got on adverts and ebay though.

Go to Amazon US, register an account using some random address from Google. Then set up echo using it. Make sure your location is also US in devices in anaxon., sometimes it picks up Ireland.

Apologies all, tunnelbear doesn't have turkey. I have a paid keepsolid VPN which I used for turkey and free tunnelbear for argentina for youtube so I got them mixed up.
There's plenty of free VPNs for this so I modified the OP

ohnonotgmail

cheers OP, just signed up. I couldn't use TunnelBear though, that didn't have an option for Turkey. I used HolaVpn instead

Can confirm it doesn't come up as an option to play music using tidal on Google home.

You can cast however, I'll put it through its paces today when on the road with work, see how it compares sound/quality/selection wise with YouTube music.
