Label distribution to Tidal
Lossless and Atmos delivery to Tidal’s audiophile subscriber base.
Tidal serves roughly 5 million subscribers paying for lossless and Spatial Audio streaming. The subscriber base is small compared to Spotify, but per-stream payouts sit at the top of the industry and Tidal is a strong fit for jazz, classical, electronic, and any genre where fidelity matters. bbn.music delivers FLAC masters untranscoded plus Atmos where supplied.
