Jakarta, Selular.ID – Tidal announced some major changes to its music streaming packages in a bid to attract more subscribers. The highlight of the announcement was the launch of Tidal Free, a new package exclusive to the United States.
According to Tidal, subscribers who opt for the free plan will be able to access its entire catalog and music playlist, “with limited distractions.” Also, the streaming quality of this plan will not exceed 160kbps.
Meanwhile, Tidal’s standard package gets some improvements. For example, for the same $10 monthly fee, customers will get lossless, high-resolution audio.
Additionally, Tidal HiFi plans now offer improved music quality (up to 1411kbps), offline support, and access to features like Tidal Connect and My Activity.
Lastly, Tidal introduced a more expensive subscription plan called HiFi Plus, which promises to offer “best-in-class immersive sound formats” such as Dolby Atmos and Sony 360 Audio tracks. For just $20, subscribers will also have access to Tidal’s MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) recordings.
