    You could have a combination of YouTube Music and Tidal for around €3or€4 a month all in and you will pretty much cover every artist possible.

    how much are you paying for youtube music?

    Think it comes with Youtube Premium.

    Other thread somewhere outlining the workaround again. Only a few euro a month.

    Having switched over to TIDAL from Spotify the biggest thing I miss is the selection of podcasts.

    Stupid question, would tidal have the same music as spotify or will it have less?

    I've found that some tracks are not on Tidal, but on Spotify - and vice versa. For Tidal, I've been very surprised to find albums from the higher end audiophile recording companies (e.g. Linn, Reference Recordings). For me, this is a big win.

    I was thinking the same. Downloaded Podbean then and all bar one of the podcasts I listen to are on it.

    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.

    Can this be done with amazon music?

    Go to the cheap prime video thread. I think India prime includes music unlike UK.

    I think I had to create Turkish Lira in my Revolut before mine went through.

    Or maybe I didn't have to. But that's what I did.

    Just replying to say thanks OP and I see some folks having problems - I'm all set up in a matter of mins, this is what I did;

    Just ahead of downloading a VPN and creating a Tidal account, I needed to create a Revolut account first (yeah I'm late to the party!), then I;

    1. Downloaded and added winscribe Chrome extension
    2. Set it to Turkey
    3. Created a Family HiFi account on Tidal.
    4. Used a disposable virtual card on Revolut!
    5. Turned off the VPN.
    6. Downloaded Tidal and logged on.

    Thanks again OP!!!

    If you used a disposable card your payment will fail in the future.

    If it was a disposable card it's gone after one use. It no longer exists. My next disposable card has an expiry date of 04/26.

    Disposable cards don't work for me. Signed up through my Irish facebook account which may cause an issue?

    only disposable cards are working for me, as soon as I change it I am back to the same message

    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

    Sorry, just another question..

    When I try to add a family member, I get the message “the user you are trying to add has a different country associated with his/her account”

    Do they have to go through Vpn too or should I add them while I’m on Turkey VPN?

    I had the same issue. Turns out my family member had registered their email with tidal in Ireland several years and forgot. Double check the email wasn't used in the past but that's what happend in my case. Just had to use another email to get around it but no VPN needed

    Yeah it worked once for me,then when I tried I new disposable card it failed, and is failing on every card I try now, was good while it lasted.

    Can anyone recommend a free VPN to use for this? You have to sign up with the ones I am seeing and it costs you after 30 days.
