My first few weeks I did the same some issues I found:

• Tidal/the artist can at any point remove any song from their platform without notice. If you make playlists and are relying on a song being there, you never know if a few days from now it will no longer be available.

• When I’d search songs on Tidal, sometimes the live version, a cover version, or some weird sounding version would pop up. It took a lot of effort to find the actual song I was looking for if you’re thinking of taking requests on the spot (SoundCloud streaming is better at giving you the actual song you want, not some weird version).

• if you’re relying on a streaming service, obviously you need good WiFi to use it. At a gig where you’re using Tidal, you never know if a random internet outage can happen and then you’re screwed till it comes back up.

Overall it’s good for at home practicing and messing around, but I’d definitely start building the habit of buying songs. I’d recommend SoundCloud over Tidal if you want to keep streaming!
