This is part of the 'Music is Free' culture kicking and screaming. If you buy 2 or more mainstream ish CD's a month, Tidal is cheap without a quality loss.

If your used to getting music free and don't care about quality, then the price is horrendous, the world will end, those rich B.....d's are just getting richer etc. etc.

If you want good quality free music, YouTube is the place to go as independent artists put up recorded and live content for free.

I often post some of this content on the site in the hope it will lead people to enjoy and eventually support the artist buy buying music or better still, Tickets.
