Since Spotify is very strong in Europe (66% of users use Spotify) and Apple Music really strong in USA (about 49 milion peoole use it) Jay Z want to invest hard on the old continent (Africa) so he can be very successful there, black peoole in USA loved this news since more and more African American are startung to respecting Africa.and.even making.trip for vacation or going to live there.

can you play music for free on Tidal? I downloaded Spotify once and it took over my computer with commercials which made me delete it.

Tidal has 2 subscriptions, depending on where you are , they are:
1) £/€/$ 9.99: “premium” service and
2) £/€/$ 19.99: "Hifi" lossless

I am not trying to be obnoxious but to expect something for free and then complain that "commercials overtook your computer" is a bit disingenuous!

I have tried Tidal on 2 occasions and there is no denying the sound quality of lossless music but I find the price to be prohibitive. Besides, I am so used to Spotify, have built my own playlists and to top it all Spotify is packaged in my phone contract -don't pay directly. With that mind I don't find Tidal's lossless to be a compelling argument

Hope that helps

I use Tidal Hifi and I love every bit of it.

Also I believe music should not be free. That is why they put ads on free tier of spotify. Also not being paid for your work is the reason congolese don't release often or we hear alot mabanga being shouted in the music.
