    I don't believe we have any official announcement on a date besides "2021" however I think the partnership with Billie Eilish for the initial announcement could be an indicator. Her next album comes out July 30th. It wouldn't shock me if part of her contract involves being the marquee title to pair with the release of Spotify Hifi. But that's all just speculation.

    I prefer to use Spotify, premium subscribers have more music libraries, and I think the sound quality of Spotify is better than Tidal. If you prefer to listen to Spotify on Roku, Xbox One, and other devices, you can use TunesKit Spotify Music Converter to download songs from Spotify to your local computer, and then you can move the songs to any you like On the device

    Spotify continues to fail to deliver on their hifi service, and now Tidal is dropping prices.

    Is there any point to sticking with the $20 tier anymore if you don't care about Atmos or 360 audio whatever it is?

    A lot of people are strong believers in MQA.

    I think I'll just bump down to the $10 CD quality tier then. It will offset the cost of picking up Paramount+ since South Park and Beavis & Butthead are going to have new stuff there.

    Just found out tonight that T-Mobile is offering a year of Paramount with service. If you already have their unlimited plan, could be an extra saving

    Awesome. Now I just save $120 a year.

    I wish Spotify would either ****, or get off the pot, with hi-res, or even CD quality.
