Tidal gets into the holiday spirit with 12 days of free service

Music streaming service Tidal is about to make your holiday wishes come true ... well, at least some of you. Starting December 25, the most-expensive hi-fi tier (all premium tiers, in fact) will be free for 12 days, and you don't even have to sign up with a credit card to use it.
