   Spotify vs TIDAL Comments

   Top Positive Comment by John Fastman · Dec 20, 2016

   Spotify is a good replacement for Tidal if: 1) You aren't going to miss Tidal's Hi-Fi Music quality (which you could only stand to hear the difference using high end audio equipment); 2) Want better discovery and playlist sharing options; 3) Want to have a Linux-native client, rather than having to rely on a web browser if you use Linux.

   High resolution audio, Hi-Fi, masters, FLAC, CD quality, do I have to explain more?

   Positive comment by playmobilmeister · Jan 26, 2023

   Tidal pays the most on the market to the artists according to several sources. Spotify is one of the worst, despite being slightly superior in almost every aspect.

   Last.fm vs TIDAL Comments

   Negative comment by Guest · Feb 8, 2026

   Tidal is a streaming platform, Last.fm is a scrobbler. They are different and actually complement each other and can be used at the same time.
