Today I was surprised to see that a bunch of pop and rap musicians got together to announce a new music streaming service called Tidal that offers a standard quality subscription for $10 per month and a lossless quality subscription for $20 per month. Do any of you think that this will be enough to get people to start jumping for lossless releases? Or is it going to just fizzle out like other services because people no longer want to pay for music?

If this service gives upcoming and existing artists a cheaper platform to contribute to and stand to make more profit from, I applaud it. If however this exists only to serve the 1 % of high profile music artists who actually sell tons of records already, meh. Oh, and what a dreadful lineup.
There is plenty of film music and other stuff on there. Though of course the expansions that the smaller labels put out are not. I was interested to see that they do have the full LOTR expanded scores on there.
