I upload all of my MP3's and albums to Google Play for free and I stream my own music. I just don't use their streaming. Their layout sucks.

^I was gonna ask you how you like Google Play Music cause I saw your post at the top of the page. I used to do that too. I would upload all my music to Google but never use their streaming service and use Rdio before they went out of business or sold it. I then joined them after I tried out Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music, etc. One of the good features is that I could mix a playlist with both my downloaded music (mixtapes) with streaming music.I upload all of my MP3's and albums to Google Play for free and I stream my own music.

You think Google's layout sucks tho? I thought it was pretty intuitive, simple, user friendly. They've added podcasts too.
Thinking about making the switch to tidal. It's just that I have so many albums saved as playlist and I dont feel like going through the process of searching for all those albums on tidal.
Been using Tidal a lot lately. Told myself I would stick with Spotify, but that changed once the new season of Money & Violence came out. Don't see myself going back to any of other music streaming services since I get more for my money with Tidal. (mixtapes, music videos, free concerts etc). It's also a plus that Tidal is the only music streaming service NOT blocked my job. Really helps me get through these 8 hours of sitting at a desk while filing/scanning paperwork.
On another note, finally put together the perfect Crunk Era playlist. Man I miss that southern flavor from the early 2000s.
No surprise. Many people in the industry predicted this was Jay-Z's endgame all along.
Maybe both happens? I got a feeling if Tidal and Apple are in negotiations then there would be a deal saying that those artists still have to be compensated exactly how they were on Tidal. Jay is shrewd but I think he would negotiate the deal to be a win-win for everybody, himself, the artists, and Apple. I think he would also have a huge backlash if he did the deal without making sure that the artists that joined him when he took over Tidal weren't compensated somehow as well. He's smart and I'm sure he knows this. It's a win for Apple too especially PR wise and would look good for them as being the only major streaming service that cares about the artists getting compensated 'fairly'.Idc about him making a profit. It's the pitch he sold to people. If he would've just bought it and never said all that he's for the artist bs then I wouldn't knock it.
Tidal wasn't doing so hot and it was pretty much Kanye's album (Tidal exclusive) that helped them and doubled their subscribers but still lagged behind everyone else.
I never thought they would fail per se, but I knew they wouldn't last long by themselves and that it was only a matter of time that either Apple, Google, or Microsoft was gonna buy Tidal and take them under their wing to be the dominant streaming music service and take down Spotify. They got that extra long money to stay in an industry and keep losing money hand over fist to acquire customers until they squeeze the competition out.
