Tidal

Tidal is a music streaming service that offers subscribers access to a vast library of music with high-quality sound. It was launched in 2014 by Norwegian public company Aspiro and later acquired by rapper Jay-Z's company Project Panther Bidco in 2015.

Tidal was created with the aim of offering a high-fidelity music streaming experience to listeners. It offers CD-quality streaming and has a "HiFi" plan that provides lossless streaming at 1411kbps, which is much higher than the standard 320kbps offered by most other streaming services. Tidal also features exclusive content and releases from popular artists.

In terms of benefits for musicians, Tidal offers a higher royalty rate than most other streaming services, with artists earning more per stream. Tidal also provides artists with the ability to upload their music directly to the platform through its Tidal for Artists program, giving them greater control over their music and data.

Tidal initially struggled to gain a foothold in the highly competitive music streaming industry, but it has seen significant growth in recent years, particularly with its exclusive releases and partnerships with high-profile artists. The platform has also expanded its offerings beyond music, with the addition of podcasts and video content.

In summary, Tidal may be beneficial for musicians looking for a high-quality streaming platform with a higher royalty rate and greater control over their music. Additionally, the platform's exclusive content and partnerships may provide opportunities for greater exposure and revenue.

In terms of availability, Tidal is available in over 60 countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and many countries in Europe and South America.
