If Tidal goes out of business (I hope not), how do I keep the names of the albums I marked as favorites?

Yes I have been posting about Tidal. l like Tidal, don’t like what Jay-Z has done to it. One question persists, to which no one has an answer, is there ANY other streaming service that provides MQA content???

I don’t know of any other service that offers MQA, but I wouldn’t be too worried. Last year streaming accounted for 65% of all music revenues. Cd, vinyl and dvd combined accounted for 15% according to the RIAA. Tidal will be around for a while and new ownership will probably be good for it.

@hgeifman  If you have ROON with Tidal integration you can just backup the ROON catalogue. I asked the ROON guys about this a few years ago and they said the TIDAL track\ names would also be saved in the backup.

@yyzsantabarbara, Thanks.  Unfortunately, my Aurender N10 Music Server does not support ROON.

@tomcy6,  Thanks.  As you stated, I certainly hope TIDAL will be around for a while.  I believe TIDAL is the only music streaming service that provides MQA Coded albums.  Tidal Streaming is excellent and I am surprised it does not have more subscribers.  I wonder if the above are numbers are correct.
