It’s that or, if you go to the Sublime option, it’s still cheaper than Tidal’s hi-res offering, plus you get massive discounts off purchasing albums. If this has reminded me of anything, it’s that with streaming you are at the mercy of the streaming company as to which content comes and goes and in which format. Plus I’ve had misgivings for quite some time about how pitiful the payments are to artists from the streaming services. Buying the album is better in that regard also.
The downside is (possibly?) that I’ve heard their standalone apps aren’t as good as Tidal, and I do use these when out and about and away from Roon, but I haven’t tried them personally…
