Is the music quality on Tidal way better like I’ve heard?

Because it’s close enough in price I’m wondering if YT Music is worth it, as it comes with YT Premium as well.

    Tidal uses FLAC codec which is vastly superior to YTM’s AAC. YTM takes the lead in quantity of content with all sorts of remixes and other music being uploaded daily. I would say it will all depend on what kind of equipment you are going to use to listen to the music on and if it will allow you to hear the difference in the two services offerings.

      If you’re mainly using Bluetooth earbuds or other cheaper speakers there likely won’t be that much of a difference in perceived sound quality.

        No need for the likely-qualifier - it definitely won’t make a difference in perceived sound quality.

        You basically need expensive gear under the right conditions and training to be able to tell. Modern audio codecs are extremely good - the main thing you will get out of lossless is more storage/data usage
