minus-squareSwordgeek@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoIt’s true that Qobuz pays more per stream, although I’ve heard that they pay an amalgamated sum to the label instead of direct payment by artist. Furthermore, while MQA was a bit of a bait-and-switch (basically lossy versions of much higher quality), Tidal always offered pure lossless as well. Qobuz apparently has a better classical catalog, but worse customer support. Basically, I’ve found Tidal to be - at this point - a bit ahead of Qobuz. Not a real complaint, just a “if I had to choose…” opinion.
