Yeah, I'm staying with it because the sound quality is superior for the money, the royalty rate is better and there isn't all this podcast bullshit.
But I have had to uninstall a few times.
I have to remember how horrid Spotify was in its early years.

As for the quality of the radio...I just make all of my playlists on Spotify and then move them to Tidal.
Increasingly getting tips on joints from places like Mixcloud instead.

There’s a few things it needs to do then it’d be perfect. Search function is not great, no search by year, label etc. Doesn’t seem to be able to search others playlists, or even my own. Most annoyingly if you play an album I can’t add another album to play queue, only has a play next option.
Despite that going to stick with it for reasons IML gave.

I like the videos option too, though is a bit spotty in coverage with huge gaps in some artists. Hi R.E.M.

Desktop app, Mac OS. If I pause playback and don't come back to it within a few minutes, the app loses its place and playback goes back to the beginning of the track. BAD TIDAL. At least it doesn't go back to the beginning of the album I guess.

just switched over from spotify. transferred over my playlists and realising that its japanese music selections are pretty limited. also every song title is romanised which I guess makes it easier for searching but is not great for people like me who have gotten used to recognising them by their japanese characters. not great for last.fm stats either.
but am gonna try to stick to it and hope it gets better. jpop took time to have a solid presence on spotify too in the beginning

I found that, too - either the catalog is more limited or Spotify's massive playlist count just makes stuff easier to find.

I guess once that rolls out I'll give it a listen and see if I can tell the difference.

Less good news for DJs, the new surcharge for use with DJing software takes the price back up to the old Hifi-Plus tier.

Can you save mixes if you use the Tidal DJ option?

Anyone know why many albums show up duplicate or multiple times (in the exact same version, not different "editions" or anything like that)?
