• $240/year with Tidal is too much for me. Could buy a lot of Downloads for that. nt - oldmkvi 11:46:27 01/17/17 (6)

  • Makes for sense than $2000 a year for cable TV... - Ivan303 14:05:46 01/17/17 (0)

    When the library provides movies (DVD and BluRay) for free.
    
    I'm good for a couple hours of streaming a day, if not more. I'm into both TIDAL and QOBUZ about $500 a year total. Did drop ClassicsOnlineHD when they scaled down their catalog just NAXOS.
    
    Might go back.

    . . . then the $39.95 per year for Classics Online HD might be very worthwhile.

      Two questions:
      1. Is that the same as Naxos?
      2. Do they have most of the basic piano repertoire by top pianists?

        Answers to you questions:
        
        1. No - Naxos is broader in repertoire, but lower in sound quality than the equal-or-better-than-CD quality you get with Classics Online HD.
        
        2. I would not say this is true for Classics Online HD. I suppose the question revolves around what you mean by "top pianists".
        
        The reason I'm once again a subscriber to Classics Online HD is that I see is as an interesting supplement to my regular music library. I used to subscribe to Spotify too. Spotify's catalog is much broader, but the SQ is reduced to a bit rate of 320 kbps or lower, depending on whether you subscribe or listen for free. 320 kbps can be surprisingly good, but, personally, I prefer lossless CD-quality or better - another reason I go for Classics Online HD.

          Well, I guess I won't be getting Classics Online.
