This is great to see. I ended up moving to Tidal from Spotify, and even though there are some nice to have features missing from Tidal (an equivilant to spotify’s sync between devices/speakers as well as a better Android Auto experience), it’s a far superior experience.
Quobuz is also on my radar, but they’ve traditionally lacked in the music catalog space. I need to give them a try again now that it’s been a few years.
That said, Tidal barely has Linux clients and I don’t think I’ve seen much movement for Quobuz on Linux, unless I’ve just missed it.
I moved from Spotify to tidal as well. Tidal is fine except for their catalogue mess. They tend to group different artists with same name to a single artist. Here and there I feedback them, they correct it in a week or so but the first next album is wrong again. But I’m glad that at least it pays music owners better and doesn’t throw money at shit podcasts and such
What’s wrong with just using tidal in a browser? Zen just added a media player widget too so it’s almost like having a native app that’s always controllable on screen

i love tidal so much <3 it’s lacking a bit in japanese artists compared to spotify but that’s not a dealbreaker for me

There is Tidal Hi-Fi on linux, but I suspect that’s what you mean by ‘barely’
Yep! It’s a good app overall, even has some improvements over what is shipped on macOS.
https://github.com/Nokse22/high-tide is new and promising for a better experience overall. I’d always prefer native over electron.
It works well, what do you want more? Sure, it’s not official but the most of the important bits are official since at it’s core it’s a web app.
I’ve moved to Deezer, love the HiFi audio! Also works well under Linux using Mellowplayer
I’m on th e verge of doing the same. Do we know how much Deezer pays artists?
