I'm cheap so I listen to Google play music radio stations for free. Would be nice if Apple offered a free ad based subscription. I think they did in the beginning but no more.
Long live Napster!

Good. Back to selling drugs in Brooklyn.
I remember when the Apple news were a new streaming software or web server or an AppleScript success story...!

What? They arn't.
People use the words as synonyms, but that doesn't mean the words are identical.
Entrepreneurs: people who take on greater than normal risks associated with operating a business.
Mogules: entrepreneurs with a lot of influence.
Jay Z is both.
It's been making me crazy too. I get complaining about not having something you want (headphone jack) even if I don't care about that issue myself. I don't get complaining about having something you don't want (16GB storage option) even if I also don't want that thing.
Case in point:
The idea that someone would dismiss an entire service because it also offered something they weren't interested in, and had an audience for it, is just bizarre to me.
Especially when that same person just finished arguing that if the service didn't provide some of the music they did like, they'd be ok with it because they could listen to something else.
So the argument seems to be explicitly saying "not having some music I like isn't enough reason to change how I get my music, but having some music I don't like and an audience for that music is a reason to disregard a service I might otherwise use."
I'd hope there are other reasons for the choices people make and that they're just expressing themselves poorly, or maybe having made a largely arbitrary decision are looking for justifications wherever they can be found, but it is very weird on the face of it.
Maybe one of the "co-owners" asked him why they should offer their content as a Tidal exclusive if he doesn't.
I suppose everyone who really wants to listen to music that isn't available elsewhere?
All that money and power yet he & Beyonce can't make Tidal relevant?
I don't think "Queen Bey" is as powerful as you think.
I got six months of Tidal Hifi for free using a promo code and I love it. Especially in my big system, the quality is phenomenal. Apple Music is no where near this quality.
Ducks can't sing... that's who drake IS, a duck, SURELY no one thinks that's a NAME?

"Powerful" - LMAO - that word used in this high-and-mighty context always makes me laugh hysterically. So she's "powerful" eh? Can she grab the earth and spin it backwards on its axis? Can she lift an oil tanker out of the ocean?
"Powerful"... pfffft... she eats, farts and sh*ts the same as we all do, she's NO different to any other person... next...

Jay-Z today had that one coming because he wants to manage his product as he sees fit just like Apple manages its business the way it sees fit.

Tidal is not relevant because you say so? lol
say what? Drake is a name.. not incredibly common but a name nonetheless..
the Drake in question was named Drake on the day he was born.. like, that's not just his stage name.
idk, poor attempt at being humorous.. better luck next time.
Tidal is not relevant and I won't miss him nor will 99.9% of music lovers.
No, there hasn't been an ad based subscription offered by Apple.

More like neither will 99.999%, but I don't care about them because I won't miss him.
