    So Adam Levine having a "ceremonial iPhone burning" didn't help? :(



    Like everyone, he was later caught tweeting from an iPhone:

    Poor Sammy. All their spokespeople are using iPhones.

    Genuinely never heard of Milk Music. Doesn't sound like Samsung owners have either.
    I was thinking about it the other day, wondering what happened. People are only talking about 3 services: Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal. I had hoped milk went away quietly, AI reporting it only gives a nobody free advertising.

    Samsung and Tidal, it will be like two drowning people holding on to each other. Quite a clever logo though.

    If JZ were smart he'd NOT deal with Sammy. If Sammy failed miserably in music what makes anyone think they can save tidal? Though JZ is probably at the point where he'd take a few million and run away(like selling someone a broken DVD player) while he can to make up for the millions lost.

    The biggest losers get together and have a loser party losing all remaining profits on loser brands with losers.

    What a waste of time and effort. Can't we send the lot of them to the Central African Republic to help build schools?

    If they wanna help.... they should help Kanye.

    Also; what's the latest on all the mega millions Tizen is pulling in with their related services? 
    I think Tizen was mostly insurance in case Android got terminated by Oracle.

    I'd never heard of this service before I read the AI headline.

    One day Samsung executives will realize that they will never have their own successful version of iTunes or Apple Music. Until then, they'll continue to let their egos make decisions.

    I'm calling it now, they buy Tidal, rebrand it, then launch as exclusive service on Tizen handsets.

    ...
    Update: A Samsung representative, speaking with AppleInsider, has gone on record as saying rumors of a Tidal acquisition are false.
    And we all know Samsung only speaks the truth.

    Well, the name is so stupid I wouldn't use the service just because of that.

    What a failing business iTunes is from all of analyst reports. Only making up a tiny percentage of Apple's income. Only 4 Billion dollars last year. I for see iTunes being bought out by Samsung.

    Kanye West and Music do not belong in the same sentence!

    Tidal is still a far better service than AM. 
    I doubt any of you bashers have even tried it.
    It's not the best, and if Spotify offered Hifi I would switch in a heartbeat - but AM is still such a messy disaster that I wonder if its sole purpose isn't to turn people off of streaming. 

    If Apple does offer Hifi one day, and they make AM actually usable - then I'm open to giving it another shot. 

    I hope Samsung doesn't buy Tidal - because that would spell the end of Apple support - like most Samsung products.

    I'm sorry, I was tired when I wrote that. Meant Xiaomi.

    I'm not going to try it because A)it does not offer any free trial period and B)West is a co-owner with his pompous, selfish, and -- dare I say -- racist rants about music and C)I have no need to spend extra on Hifi music that I almost always play on a portable player in a noisy environment.
