Tidal, the paid music streaming service owned by artist and businessman Jay Z, can now be accessed via a desktop app.</p><p>
Users can
download the app, which is in beta release, from Tidal’s site. The app will detect audio sources like Apple’s AirPlay to let users play music on compatible stereo systems, Tidal said Wednesday. Tidal already has iOS and Android apps, as well as a web app optimized for the Chrome browser.</p><p>
Jay Z has positioned Tidal as a high-quality music-streaming service supported by musicians like Taylor Swift and Kanye West, but its success is far from guaranteed in a crowded market. Apple is expected to launch a revamped streaming service based on its Beats acquisition

added video and smarter playlist features to its app, including a function that picks songs based on the user’s running pace.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2931332/jay-z-tries-to-grow-tidal-with-a-desktop-app.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
