![]() Sacerdote: Artist Home, for us, is very important and very symbolic, obviously, of the direction that we want to go. What it is that you want people to be able to do with that? Short answer is yes, we're thinking about that for a long time.īaltin: Let's talk about Artist Home and obviously that ties in with the music discovery. I went to a show and 24 hours later I had to spent $200 on records and stuff. But like that feeling, it happened to me with Tank And The Bangas recently. And so obviously we have to know that you went to a show and stuff like that. And so we're thinking a lot about like how do we get you 24 hours after you went to a festival or went to a show, to have a similar experience or like leverage that experience in the app. I still think that live festivals are probably the most exciting way and the most effective way to get to that feeling. We spend so much time figuring out how to encourage and enable really exciting discovery like that, like you just talked about, within the app. So Danielle Ponder had that.Īgustina Sacerdote: It's funny that you mentioned this because this is something that I talk to my team a lot all the time. It's finding those new artists that you get excited about the same way you did when you were 15 years old. The company has committed $5 million to this program, and the money will be used in hosting workshops and helping artists with studio recordings and promotional materials.Steve Baltin: For me, I still get off more than anything on the sense of music discovery. Last month, Tidal shut down its direct artist payout program in favor of an emerging artist project called Tidal Rising. In February, Spotify started testing NFT-gated playlists with select artists and crypto projects. When TechCrunch asked if these tools would include things like merchandising, tickets or NFTs, Tidal said “all those things are not out of question,” but didn’t elaborate if it plans to release any of them. So you can imagine a world in which Live becomes a tool with which artists manage and connect with their audiences,” Sacerdote said. “We were very committed to this notion of helping artists better manage and grow their business, which is effectively their fans. Though Tidal didn’t specify what tools it is making. It is leaning on Block’s expertise in helping small businesses and wants to build on that for artists. The company is thinking of these artists as small businesses and wants to help them manage this stuff. So you can’t have a listening party with your cross-border friends.Īpart from releasing the feature, Tidal said that it is concentrating on supporting rising artists. You can only create and listen to a session in your registered country. So if five people are listening to a track, it counts as five streams. Tidal noted that the number of listeners in a session accounts for the number of streams per song. But they can edit this list to make it more suitable to a session’s theme if needed. Notably, whatever is in the session creator’s “now playing” queue becomes part of the session. If not, Tidal will ask them to join via a free trial. Those friends can click on the link to start listening to music if they are paying subscribers. ![]() They can name the session and share the link with their friends. Users can create a session while listening to any song or playlist by tapping the Live button in the top-right corner. The Block-owned company has been testing it under the “DJ” moniker since last December, and now it is being rolled out to all users. Tidal’s Live feature puts one person in charge of the song selection (the initiator) - they handle the track listing. ![]() This feature doesn’t exactly work like Spotify’s Group Sessions, which lets all participants control the song queue. The feature called Live is available for both HiFi ($9.99 per month) and HiFi Plus ($19.99 per month) subscribers of the streaming service. Tidal is rolling out a new feature that lets you act as a DJ and allow your friends to listen to your choices. ![]()
