Finally "HiFi" streaming - comments on Tidal???


Tidalhifi has entered the streaming market with what it is calling "lossless" playback. I believe it is certainly the highest quality streaming service. I just got it ($20/mo) and it clearly out-performs Beats and Pandora on my systems. It is way cool to look up songs that I love but not enough to buy the CD to get a lossless recording. It's not cheap for sure but it sure is nice.

My next step is to try to get Amarra sQ to work with it. Anyone able to do that?

I have three more comments on Tidal:

1) Another useful Tidal feature is that you select, for example, a Hilary Hahn CD, that you like and make it your favorite. Once done, you select that CD and page down lower on the screen. Addition Hilary Hahn CD's will be displayed that you can easily select for listening. This is a very useful feature for reviewing many CD’s from your favorite artists.

2) However, when I make an album a "favorite", sometimes it goes into the "artist category" and sometimes in the "album category". I would prefer that any album I make a favorite always goes into one of these categories and not the other. Currently I have some favorite albums in artist category and others in the album category. In summary, I prefer that any album I make a favorite, always goes into the album category so that all my albums are grouped together. Tidal reports that "they are reworking how favorites should work and this feature is about to change for the better, so you can arrange these the way you like by adding tags”.

3) Tidal Customer Support is excellent. I have emailed them 3 times and have received a response in 2-3 days.

I am using Chrome for Tidal and it works perfectly. Tidal is an excellent source for music streaming at CD quality to your audio system.
Hgeifman...I've never had the problem that you've had with the favorites category. If I'm on the album and save it, it goes to albums, if I'm on the artist, it goes into the artist favorites.

I just got done adding hundreds of artists to my favorites list from my Olive 04HD list and all of them went in correctly.

The one thing I wish they would fix on the SONOS system, is right now you can't use the "Artist Radio" function like you can on the webplayer.
Whoops. It was my error. I was told "You have to right click on the album and not the artist name and vice versa when you want to add it to favorites. Any slight over hang into the other will divert it into the wrong category".

A very simple mouse click solves the problem.
The tidal playlists are sweet and the system actually suggests music modeled after what you have listened to. Im on a 60's kick, so put in 'mamas & papas" and you can quickly get compilations, covers, anything you want. Hours and hours of music at your fingertips. And not MP3s!
