Amazon just killed Tidal

At Amazon you cannot even get a live person any longer.....

@uberwaltz,

That’s incorrect. You have an option for live chat or human interaction 24/7 with Amazon. Heck, they can even call you. I end up calling twice during my Amazon HD setup, nothing but excellent customer service experience. 

Agree with you on ‘no threat to Qobuz or even Tidal. They have long ways to go before they can match their catalog in high resolution. But it’s a work in progress, give them sometime. 

Has anyone figured out how to add Amazon HD to their Bluesound node 2? “Add Service” just results in Amazon music.

Amazon HD resides within the Amazon Music service on the Node, its just not very well implemented yet. Hopefully this will change. Unlike Tidal and Quboz where you get album thumbnails that show what the resolution is, Amazon Music just shows albums as a list, with no way to know what the resolution is until you start playing. Once playing, the album resolution will show in the now playing box. I haven’t found a way to search by resolution. This is with the BlueOS app on iPad. Hopefully, Bluesound will issue an update to address this. I’ve signed up for the 90 day trial of Amazon HD but won’t renew unless there is a change in the Bluesound app. If I’m missing something, hopefully someone will point me in the right direction.

I stand corrected, not quite sure what I was thinking of there not Amazon but similar.
Call it a big brain fart.........

And what happens when Amazon wipe out the competition as Red Box did with renting movies?

Only one way the pricing will go.......
