Im over Tidal

I'm cancelling my Tidal subscription due to laggy, glitchy performance along with a music selection that is lacking.  I just can't take the long load times.  If it only take 3-5 seconds but you go through 3 or 4 tracks before you settle on one this adds up.  This along with dropouts (especially Friday and Saturday nights when I am trying to listen to Tidal) and I'm over it.   You are at the mercy of Tidal and your internet connection for music if this is your only source.

I'm moving on to vinyl.  Way better to have hard copies of your music in my opinion, and if you're going to go cd's why not vinyl?  I'm over being a computer dork in order to be an audio dork. 


Two thumbs down for Tidal; I waited it out to see if they would improve but they haven't.

Sorry to see you go, but you have to do what is right for you.

I haven’t had any issues with Tidal at all. I find their catalog very much to my liking and with the impending addition of MQA, I LOVE TIDAL!!!

I do have a very fast internet connection and top line modem and router.

I also have a massive record collection, but still like the convenience, (and overall sound quality) of Tidal.  LPs are better, but sometimes I just don't want to hassle with it.

Have had some issues with Tidal, mostly here at the Shop where the internet is slow on workdays, on weekends it works like  a champ.  At home where the internet is not as taxed,  zero issues.  I like the playlists they make,  tons of great music that one would to other wise get exposure to.

Preferred listening format is Vinyl though :-)

Happy Holidays
