Percentage of mp3 vs FLAC on Tidal?

You might try the Tidal Desktop app just to confirm that you are receiving flac files.

I get MP3s all the time.  Not everything in the library is FLAC.

jclctr - Can you give some examples? What are you using for the player - desktop app, android, ios phone?

Yes I would love some examples also I have not encountered any mp3s in about a year of streaming Tidal.

The source that I'm using is a Squeezebox Touch - I did find some information stating that when Ickstream was being used the app would indicate that a file was an MP3 incorrectly when it was really FLAC coming through - I'm using the newer Tidal app for Squeezebox but it could be a similar glitch.

For example, I clicked on almost every Bruce Cockburn album that was in Tidal - 2 titles read as FLAC 1 of which was Stealing Fire, pretty much everything else read as MP3.  The National Cherry Tree also read as being MP3 but other titles in their catalog were FLAC.

It sounds like there is either an issue with how the Squeezebox is streaming or it's incorrectly labeling FLAC files as MP3 - my understanding is that all of the work that's been done for Squeezebox has been by end users as of late including the Tidal app I'll poke around and see what I can find out...
