    Got an email from Tidal the other day saying my Tidal trial will be ending soon, and from April 24th I'll be paying 19.99.

    Balls to that, says I.
    Until I realised I'm paying in Turkish Lira!

    €2.04 a month I can stomach! :D

    Thats the one I am on. Hfi.
    Might upgrade to the family plan if I can afford it. I think it is just over €3 a month :pac::pac::pac:

    IS this Turkish thing signing up via a VPN etc? Loved Tidal when I was on it but the Spotify music discovery is much better. Or was anyway.

    Spotify increasing price from 14.99 up to 17.99. Looks like it's time to jump to tidal.

    Tidal family hifi account for last month on my revolut was 3.06. Just in case you need the extra 6 cent for anything else. :-)

    Great to be back on Tidal after a couple of years off. Only issue is when shuffling larger playlists it plays the same 2 bands s over and over.

    yes me too, just signed up to family plan,

    used winscribe vpn + my normal revolut which has turkish lire (for netflix),

    Thanks OP

    It'll be interesting to see how hard the price increase hits them. €3 hike is quite a jump up.

    When I started with Netflix I think it was €6.99. That has kept creeping up to now €17.99. Spotify family was always €14.99 now also gone up to €17.99 and I think YouTube is close in price too. So if you have a family that uses those services you could be talking the bones of €55 just on those three subs a month. Thank god for cousins abroad.

    Wonder if Amazon will ever add Tidal to Echo? have both Spotify and Tidal, only have Spotify because it can be used with Amazon Echo.

    I don’t use Alexa or Amazon much but I did open a US Amazon account to connect Tidal with the Echo. I think you lose some Irish skills with a US account but like I said, I don’t use Amazon a lot so I don’t know for sure.

    Trying this while connected via Windscribe and with a virtual revolut card, I keep getting:

    "Your transaction could not be completed. This could be due to incorrect credit card details, expired credit card or restrictions from your bank. Please try again or use a different credit card. If you still have problems, please contact the bank that issued your card.

    Any suggestions of a workaround?

    Edit: I tried with a disposable card in Revolut and it worked, nice one :-D

    I kept a Prime account that the family use so Amazon Music does the job for the Echo's

    Just curious on whether I should change my echos to a US account.


    Would the Tidal Hifi sound any better on the echo than a normal deezer/amazon account?

    hifi would only be for decent equipment I would think. The echo is bog standard stuff

    The new Spotify gui was a real downgrade.
    Not much difference between Tidal and Spotify now.

    The Spotify app just gets worse and worse. I noticed I'm only charged 1 euro for this. Great deal.

    Dropped spotify yesterday after years with the family premium. I could justify €15 with herself, the kids and my brother getting value for it but the 20% hike was a step too far IMO.

    set up everyone on tidal now for 3 quid a month, playlists copied over, all good.

    You're probably on the special offer.

    Get ready for the big jump up to €2!

    Yeah in the same boat here with latest hike in Spotify for family plan, must give Tidal a shot.

    For 3 quid a month is that Family Premium or Family HiFi?

    tidal has more tracks than spotify. https://www.soundguys.com/tidal-vs-spotify-37120/#:~:text=Tidal%20offers%20over%2060%20million,a%20considerable%20amount%20of%20music.

    Unless you listen to really obscure artists that might be on one but not the other I can't see it affecting you.
