Just downloaded the 90 day free trial. I've been using Spotify because of the cost and ease of use. I like the fact that I can control Spotify with multiple devices. I use a laptop from my listening seat to control the notebook that's connected to my stereo. Can't do that with Amazon. I have to get up and check the one on the stereo to see if I would like to save an artist from a playlist. I can scan and save artists, playlists, albums, etc. from the one on my lap, but the list is independent of any other device, so I have to do this with each device with Amazon. I called Amazon and talked with someone about this. They seemed genuinely interested and asked a lot of questions. I said they should make the app more user friendly like the way Spotify is set up to access different devices. I feel I'll cancel Amazon Music if they don't make it more user friendly. I lost count of how many times I've had to get up and cross the room to the side of my system to do something with the app. I'm at the age where just sitting with a remote is best.
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.
That's exactly what my Node 2 does. Still deciding if there is any difference between this, (both 16/44.1 & 24/96) and Tidal w/MQA? I've listened all weekend and if there is a difference, I sure the hell can't hear it...
I had mentioned above that I can scan and save artists, playlists, albums, etc. from the one on my lap, but the list is independent of any other device. When I checked my phone app and laptop app this morning, they both had the same saved playlists as the one I originally saved them to. But I wish they all would show what was currently playing and had the ability to save, skip, change, etc. what was playing on the other device.
