Jay-Z should have spent that money providing full college scholarships for students whose parents he personally sold crack to.
No one is surprised. And it is very easy to understand why.
The marketing utterly and completely missed the mark. They talk about giving the artists a better share of the profits than the competition, but then only proceed to show multi-millionaire artists who are at the top of the industry. OF COURSE it would look like a bunch of rich people asking for even more money. OF COURSE it would be very hard to feel empathetic to these people... "Hmmm, I guess it is only fair that I pay more for my music, ignoring what the competition offers, so Kanye can have more money when I'm struggling to survive with 20k a year". But they are probably so self absorbed that they didn't realise that this would happen.
One of the supposedly good things no one talks about Tidal is that you don't need to be a signed artist to have your music there. To put your songs in Spotify, if you are a Indie artist you NEED to sign with some of the companies they provide, which means they take a share of whatever pitiful profit you make. On Tidal, apparently it goes all straight to you. So, why not, instead of showing Madonna, the best selling female artist of all time, who currently hold the 2 top spots of the highest-grossing tours of all time by a female artist, why not show a Indie artist getting more money for the music they make on their improvised home studio at their parents basement? It is certainly much much easier to relate to that. Or even show some more established independent artists, but NOT Madonna or Kanye or Rihanna and Beyonce asking for more money, like they are asking you fund some Red Cross humanitarian help project...
Then they get surprised it failed.
What don't you like about the desktop client? I know they changed their design a couple of times, but feature-wise it's the same thing? Is it not?
Wow. That is quite a list of purged features.It's really, really bad.
Got about halfway through before realized that I'm a super simple spotify user, just add songs to playlist and play them.There's always Apple and Google, though the later doesn't have a desktop app either.
From Reddit:
It's really, really bad.

I do agree with the ctrl+f thing, shit be bullshit.
On the other hand whoever listed "Closing spotify with the "X" now exits the application" as a problem is worse than Hitler.
Literally.
I really wish Spotify had some good competition, but nobody else had the idea of making desktop software instead of just a webpage. Now Spotify has effectively ruined their desktop software and there's no alternative to go to, we just have to deal with these terrible "updates".
Still using downgraded Spotify, but I don't know how long these old versions will work.
Enjoy not paying money to all of these:
- Kanye West
- Madonna
- Nicki Minaj
- Beyonce
- Jack White
- Alicia Keys
- Rihanna
- Chris Martin (Coldplay)
- Usher
- Daft Punk
- deadmau5
- J Cole
- Jason Aldean
- Calvin Harris
- Jay Z

I can deal with it, though I am used to clicking X to minimize Spotify since I don't ever exit the application.
My biggest problem is that the new version is extremely slow and doesn't work well with local files, which is important as Spotify's library doesn't cover everything I listen to. I mean, I can use other music players but to me Spotify is the singular music client that I use on my PC.
I haven't notice slowness, but then again, I usually run spotify on my pretty beefy machine.I can deal with it, though I am used to clicking X to minimize Spotify since I don't ever exit the application.

I'm a happy Tidal user and happily pay for the lossless streaming/offline listening. I don't give two shits who backs or owns the company. It just happens to be what I want.
Also, Tidal offers the same £10 model that Spotify does. Just not a 'free' mode. Is there anything wrong with that? And then we get to 'Should music for free?'
I just don't understand why you are finding so much pleasure in something failing!!!! Does it really matter if its something you'll never use?
If its not what you want, don't bother with it. Simple isn't it?
Who's the guy clapping in the background?
Why?
It was some country singer, he applauded because the losers in the crows were whopping and shouting when she did it.
When Alicia Keys spoke at the start someone in the crowd cheered and she was like 'Yes! I feel that emotion, that power!'...as if she was some form of preacher.
Thoroughly embarrassing all round.

They all went backstage and sacrificed a goat.
Yeah but... convert youtube to mp3
Streaming music all over the world?? Do they even know most of the world is either poor or middle class? What about third world countries, what are they supposed to do? Even for us that's asking too much, i guess they think we can't add. That's $120 a year, its like asking who wants another bill for my average music?
This is great though because it's like they're announcing their exit from the industry so that other artist can rise and take their place because that's exactly what's going to happen.
It is not enough for me to enjoy Spotify, other music services should fail.
I want to see an episode of Pawn Stars where a broke Jay Z tries to sell the piece of paper they all signed:
Rick: So, what do we have here?
Jay Z: A piece of history.
Rick: Let me have a look.. oh...
Chumlee: What is it?
Rick: It's the so called declaration of Tidal. A bunch of stars signed this paper thinking they would change the music industry.
Jay Z: the biggest stars!
Rick: Yeah, no, I don't know about that. Most of them were pretty washed up at that point.
Chumlee: Daft Punk's on there! I like them, they're robots, robots are cool!
Rick: Yeah, but you're still a retarded 12 year old kid [cigarette laughter]
Jay Z: You will never find anything like this, all those signatures in one place.
Rick: Do you wanna pawn it or sell it?
Jay Z: Sell it!
Rick: How much did you have in mind?
Jay Z: 2 million dollars
Rick: 2 million?! I don't even know if it's real! I have this buddy of mine that is an expert on signatures, let me call him.
Rick: So what do you think?
Expert: Let see.. Yeah, it's definitely real. There's even a bit of Madonna's leg sweat left on it. Unfortunately you don't want that, it does drive the value down a bit.
Jay Z: it's still very valuable though?
Expert: Well, the signatures separately might have been worth something, a couple of them at least. But the fact that it's related to Tidal is really a shame.
Rick: So what do you think it's worth?
Expert: In an auction... between... nah... nobody would bid
Jay Z: Really?
Rick: So, you heard the man, how much do you really want?
Jay Z: I can go down to a thousand dollars
Rick: [sigh] If I buy this, it's going to sit here for a looong time, it might not even sell.
If I wanted the signature of a washed up old man, I could just ask my dad [tobacco laughter]
Chumlee: I can give you some pot for it, I have some in my car
Rick: [cancer laughter]
Jay Z: What the hell, ok, deal

I didn't know this.In fairness to my man Jermaine he was signed by Jay-Z if I'm not mistaken. Probably had no choice!
Deadmau5 is a colossal douchebag and it pains me that I happen to enjoy some of his chunes.
Do people who talk like that indicate they are one? Besides, this is rather disappointing.I even got some of his merch. His music is actually pretty good, but he comes across as a horrible person.
