Tidal

You know you're intrigued by Tidal. But unlike Spotify, you can't really kick its tires very easily, since there's no free version of the service to log into. But still, it's tempting. Tidal wants to be the go-to music service for audiophiles, for example, with a lossless hi-fi audio stream if you subscribe to the higher-cost premium service. You also get access to exclusive music content, and first dibs on some concert tickets. Well, wonder from afar no longer. For a limited time, you can .

That's a dollar a month, regardless of whether you want the premium $10 per month plan or the hi-fi plan that's usually $20 per month. Of course, this offer is only good for first-time subscribers.

For just a dollar a month, this deal is simply too good to pass up, especially if you want to do your own A/B testing between Spotify and Tidal. You may find that Tidal is missing a few tracks you can find on Spotify -- especially if you're into indie music -- and you might prefer the Spotify mobile app to Tidal.

This is the best price on Tidal we've seen since its 5-months-for-$5 deal that we told you about back in the fall. This one is the same dollar-per-month rate; it simply doesn't last quite as long. But virtually free Tidal HiFi until summer? Sign me up.
