C'mon Marty, all of $7? Really?
I don't care for Jay-Z, but I care even less for Amazon. So I'd rather give my money to Jay-Z, who's probably too incompetent to do anything with my data anyway, while Amazon will sell the heck out of it.
Qobuz is all but a few months old. They'll sort out the catalog, and add the titles, and become as comprehensive as Tidal in the stuff that matters. They can keep the Jay-Z stuff and the rap/hip-hop out of there, thank you.
If everybody jumps ship to Amazon, that's exactly what they want. That'll kill both the incumbent (Tidal) and the upstart (Qobuz). That'll leave us with the pure evil (Amazon) as the only choice. And then Amazon wil downgrade everything to an MP3 or just dump whole chunks of their catalog, and you won't have neither Qobuz nor Tidal to go back to.
Am I being paranoid? Not really. Does anybody remember Netflix all but a few years ago? The size of their catalog was HUGE. They had TONS of classics. Now it's pitiful. Once they got a foothold in the market, they could care less to keep an extensive catalog, and let go of a lot of stuff ("dead weight").
Sorry to vent/rant. I've been asked too many times here in the store about this Amazon business, and I feel very strongly about this, as I love the Tidal/Qobuz arrangement right now, specially with the Roon integration.
