I dont mind - it is a great question ð For me I switched from CDs to Tidal because: 1.I wanted to be able to access my music from all my devices (like my iPhone) also when being far from home 2.I have ripped 100s of CDs to FLAC but I felt I was wasting my time when I could get someone else to do it 3.The process of being introduced to a new album/artist on radio or by a friend is instant. I dont have to go to a shop or wait on the mail. 4.With a large family with different music taste. It is much easier/cheaper to build a very varied music collection with all from kids music to boybands and classical It is not only plusses though. There is something special about putting on an album that has been payed for and actually hold the physical cover in your hands. I dont really use Tidal for music discovery. I dont feel its very good. I mostly use local radiostation for that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrbang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71807 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114890
