Audio and podcasting
TIDAL alternatives
1 open-source project that already does this job. Free to use - not free to run, which is what the numbers on the right are for.
The projects
What you give up either way
- licensed catalog, artist relationships, high-resolution delivery, recommendations, and apps
- licensed music catalog
- royalty and distribution relationships
- global streaming infrastructure
- artist network and recommendations
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches TIDAL, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
