I spent a week using Jay Z's streaming music service 'Tidal' and I have no idea why it's getting trashed

I had to see what all the fuss was about.

Back in March, Jay Z's big streaming music service launched, he calls it "Tidal."

Jay Z spent $56 million to buy Aspiro, the Swedish company behind the WiMP and Tidal streaming sites. Since then he and his team have made it their own.

But the PR battle for Tidal has been real, with haters coming out of the woodwork to bash the music service, including well known musicians like 50 Cent and Death Cab for Cutie, among others.

Enough. It was time for me to find out for myself. I downloaded the app, buried my Spotify icon deep within my iPhone, and got to work.
