Im over Tidal

Zero issues with Tidal since I switched from Netgear Powerline adapters to Apple AirPort Extreme duo.  Best sound and music collection is growing...still not on par with Spotify and Rhapsody.  But I would take awesome streaming quality over content any day.  

Last thing you want to hear is 'lifeless' sound from your precious gear.  

Happy Holidays! 

B_Limo - If you are using Wi-fi - I just changed my Wi-Fi adapter due to issues with the old one and Windows 10.

The Old adapter was very "glitch-y" but
 according to the stats displayed in Windows there was not a problem.

I ruled out the Router, since every other device in the house worked very well

Seemed like the adapter was the next logical part for replacement

The new D-Link Xtreme N adapter is lightning fast are very reliable

Maybe this is your problem???

Tidal streaming issues are your internet provider/modem/router isues, IE, you do not have a fast enough throughput.  You may be paying your provider for 50 mips but unless you check it yourself, you do not know what you have.  I had Tidal problems in the beginning as well.  I ran speedtrest and found out my cable company, who was charging me $50 a month for the "50 mips fast download" never initiated it and I was using 5 mips for years, paying for 50.  Once I told the cable company, they hit the switch and I was listening to tidal without ANY issues.

Sorry I haven't replied forever... for some reason I didn't have the text box.

Anyways, yes I do believe it is my internet connection, without getting into details.

I have another thread that I can't seem to respond to either and that one is "Tidal vs Spotify".  Many people have responded saying that Spotify sounds as good as Tidal, which it doesn't, not even close.

I actually use Tidal as my main source and have for quite some time; I started this thread in a fit of rage but it was due more to user error than Tidal.  

I have my laptop/music server connected to my Comcast router with a wired ethernet connection, as it's on the very far end of the house and the signal is not very strong or consistent, no one's fault, just a long distance from the router.

Having said that, I have had no problems with Tidal, none!  When I first subscribed, on a very rare occasion I would get a message that they were having some sort of problem and recommended that I switch out of "hi fi" mode, which I never did.

Even streaming hi-rez digital music files is WAY less data than streaming video.  44.1/16 files should not take up much bandwidth.

I suspect your problems are with your network and/or internet connection.

As for the content, when I can't find an album, I let them know.  Sometimes it's the lawyers who decide what the streaming services can and can't provide, not the service, same issue with Spotify.
