This is on their website We are closing the TIDAL Download Store on Oct 20, 2022. TIDAL Store subscribers with pending downloads as of October 20th have until Jan 23rd to download purchases from their account to one device. Long live Qobuz. 7 Digital nice knowing you too. |

Tidal streaming will still remain open. But, yes, 7Digital
seems to be on its last legs... they've lost Sony and Warner. |

It seems to be moving in that direction, not only with music, but with home video. But I don't think Tidal is closing the store division with any grand scheme in mind... I think it's just not profitable. And I think what's killing 7Digital is
probably Qobuz. And I also think that's what's behind the whole move toward streaming-only: the labels simply make more money off streaming. A sale, they make a profit one time. Streaming, they make money every time you play the song. It's all about money. With home video, Disney in particular is being very stingy with what it releases in physical format for the past couple years. They want everything to just be on Disney Plus. Edited by Brian W. |

I use the Tidable Music Converter to
download lossless from Tidal. It was a one time buyout. I'll be disappointed if Tidal finds a way to block Tidable from working. |

The fact you can still download previous purchases through January means to me that its still up there just the pages to download from are gone. |

As an indication of how few digital downloads are being
sold these days, the song currently at #3 on Billboard's Digital Sales chart is "Everywhere" by Fleetwood Mac, currently being used in a car commercial. It sold 5000 digital downloads last week. In a country of 335,000,000 people, you only need to sell 5000 digital downloads to have the third best-selling download in the country. |

Aren't labels cannibalizing their sales by making downloads
"unavailable" sort of like they did with vinyl in 1989, cd singles in the 90's (in the US anyway), and the current lack of licensing older material reputable third partiesfor cds. This is what happens when power is in the hands of a few after all those mergers. Edited by AutumnAarilyn |
