Tidal reminds us it still exists with Android TV and Apple TV apps.
Tidal, the high-quality music streaming site designed mostly for musicians disillusioned with iTunes and Spotify royalties, is amazingly still here. As first noted by The Verge, Tidal’s latest push for continued attention arrives today in the form of new Android TV and Apple TV apps. And yet, we’re in shock the service still exists.
After Kanye West famously implored Apple to take Tidal off owner Jay Z’s hands last year, a $200 million investment from Sprint kept the service afloat in 2017 despite predictions that it might not even survive 2015 or 2016. Tidal somehow made it through this year, which apparently means it’s time to expand to more platforms.
If you’re in the tiny Venn diagram overlapping Tidal subscribers and owners of not-quite-number-one video streaming devices, you’ll be happy to know that you can now access Tidal’s catalog of music, concerts, music videos, and livestreams through your television. Specifically, Tidal promises that its 130,000 music videos are in “High Definition,” and its “HiFi audio experience” is “uncompromising.” 4K UHD support? Not mentioned.
