Tidal now on Squeezebox, no need for Ickstream

I just discovered that the Tidal app has been added to Squeezebox. I have been accessing Tidal HiFi through the Ickstream "helper" app on my Squeezebox Touch, but, after streaming direct through the Tidal app, I have noticeably better resolution than streaming Tidal through Ickstream.

Anybody else added the Tidal app to your Squeezebox player after using Ickstream? Did you experience the same improvement in the quality of resolution?

cymbop...you need to go to mysqueezebox.com and add it to your list of apps.  Then you need to sign into Tidal from mysqueezebox.com and make sure it shows up where you want it.

Thanks, Mofi!  At mysqueezebox.com I'm seeing Tidal in My Apps but there's no prompt to sign into Tidal from there.  Does Ickstream need to be deleted perhaps?  (Was looking forward to having them both to A/B the quality.)

I’m in business!  Had to do a factory reset on the Touch in order to re- log into mysqueezebox.com from the Touch.  Can’t wait to give a close listen tonight.

cymbop...did you "install" the Tidal app from mysqueezebox.com?  If you did, right under the "install" button is a "configure" button.  You will still need to do that because that is where you log your Squeezebox system(s) into Tidal.  Then once you're in the configure tab there are (2) additional tabs marked "Account Settings" & "Player Settings".

Yes have tried this and found the sound to be much improved. Also the streaming is smoother. However I am now having difficulty adding artists to favourites. Before I would just log into tidal on my PC and any playlists or artists added there would then show uo on the squeezebox touch. Not any more ??
