WiMP music, a HiFi Streaming service has finally come the the US! Albeit under the moniker Tidal Music.
It's pricier than Spotify ($20 / mo instead of $10 / mo) and I haven't had a chance to compare catalogs, but the very first band I wanted to hear, The Casual Lust, came right up. I notice a reasonable improvement over Spotify's high quality settings. I've yet to decide whether I use my meager "HiFi" stack frequently enough to justify paying twice as much for streaming music. But there's gotta be some of you peeps to whom this is interesting.

Decided that after the last hi-def streaming service I enjoyed died with little to no warning that paying for music subs is silly, and I've massed a huge collection of lossless music legitimately for a bit more than it would cost to subscribe. Even though I can not listen to as much music... nobody can take it away by going bankrupt or by going a different direction with the company.

Alas poor Mog, I knew thee well.

$20/m is a significant investment in the long run.
That's 2 CDs at $10 each per month and unless you're always buying new CDs they're likely to be cheaper (or better yet buy them in bulk in garage sales and such)
If you get yourself 4 CDs per month at the same price that's 48 CDs per year which is a fair selection of music in lossless format that you own and can rip.
Anyway to each their own.
Some people like having a larger catalogue available for mobile streaming than they can carry on the mobile storage
