World’s Longest On-Demand Music Service: What is It and What Does It Mean for Music Lovers?
Recently, we found out about a music service that we had not heard of before called MOG, which claims to be the world’s longest on-demand music service. If you have never heard of MOG before either, you are not alone as the service has only been available in North America since 2011 and currently it boasts just 250,000 paid subscribers (although it offers trial periods). So why do we care about this? Well, if MOG can be considered the world’s longest on-demand music service than does this mean that on-demand music services are here to stay?
About TIDAL
TIDAL has been dubbed the world’s first music subscription service with High Fidelity sound quality, High Definition music videos and Curated Editorial. But what does that mean exactly, and how does it affect you as a consumer of music?
How Much Does TIDAL Cost?
TIDAL’s pricing is confusing. A $9.99 a month TIDAL HiFi subscription gives you high fidelity sound quality, while standard TIDAL subscriptions are $9.99 a month, but allow you to listen to music in 320 kbps quality (which isn’t high fidelity). Additionally, when compared to Apple Music and Spotify Premium—both of which are also $9.99 a month—the cost structure can be really confusing.
How To Get TIDAL Free Trial
