In December 2017, someone reported that Tidal may only have enough cash left to last six months. I searched Google today and found no information on the financial condition of Total Streaming. Are they really in trouble? What is the real story? Are they for sale?
The above post reports that Tidal has serious problems in various areas. Others have reported that "Tidal’s subscription numbers have been disputed, but estimates put it between 1 and 3 million, much further behind even Apple Music, which has 30 million. With no turnaround in sight, or change in strategic direction, some analysts speculate that Tidal will eventually SELL itself to one of its rivals, hoping to buy their subscribers and exclusive content on the cheap".
I am a Tidal Streaming user and like it very much. Its sound quality is excellent, its album selection is great for me and I enjoy the MQA selection. if Tidal goes out of business, my Aurender will support QuBuz when it becomes available in the USA (but no other non compressed music streaming service).
Based on many Audiogon posts, many Audiogon users are Tidal customers. I hope that Tidal Steaming continues and doe NOT go out of business.
