Jay Z just wasted $56m of someone's money.

It's a new music streaming service: http://tidal.com/

I don't know about anyone else but I honestly cant remember the last time I bought music or paid for a music service. Free Pandora is good enough for me.

Free ain't going to last forever. Artists deserve to be paid. They put in the hours, put in the work.

Free accounts on things like Spotify and Pandora come with advertisements. T artists get paid.

I'd bank that this thing becomes a success, pretentious artists or not.

Spotify has 60m active users WW with 15m paid subscribers. Pandora has 82m active users. Tidal has 500k paid/active users.

The business model doesn't work because most streaming music consumers want free (i.e. Pandora, Spotify) and only a portion are willing to convert to paid. Tidal only offers paid tiers and very few are willing to jump from tier 1 ($10/month) to tier 2 ($20/month) for higher quality audio.

Plus, Apple hasn't relaunched Beats Music yet which will be another competitor.

The deck is stacked against Tidal because Jay Z doesn't understand the digital streaming business and the device/technology ecosystem. No streaming music service has ever turned a profit. The only thing I can see is that the artists take a bigger cut on the up front royalties, but the business will have to operate at a loss. That's not a way to run a business because eventually the musicians will have to dump more of their own money to keep the operations going or raise capital.

All I heard is words formed into sentences, but no meaning.

Madonna: "We have to put humanity back into being an artist. Human art." Ok, whatever. I'm sure a paid streaming service will do that, whatever that even means.

Shocking. It's almost like consumers don't give a (bleep) if the biggest music stars in the world get enough extra money to buy 20 mansions instead of only 15.

Never thought of it that way. You're going Mr into subscribing by appealing to my humanity.
