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

I posted this to Tidal vs Spotify but it belongs here. I signed up for Tidal Streaming and immediately cancelled my account.

I discovered that Tidal Hi-Fi CD quality streaming is ONLY available on the Chrome browser and is NOT available on Safari, Bing or IE. I was very surprised. AAC 320 streaming is available on Tidal using Safari but the hi-fi CD quality option is not. I am willing to pay $20 per month for Hi-Fi CD quality but not for the AAC 320 streaming option.

I immediately contact Tidal and they report "they are currently working on making TIDAL available for more browsers. This expansion should happen soon as we finalize development".

I am surprised that Tidal only supports Chrome and not the other popular browsers. Does anyone know when Tidal Streaming will support Safari and the other browsers?

Tidal says they only support Chrome so I assume they do not support Firefox. I prefer to use Safari on my Mac and have no plans to use Chrome.

Tidal reports that "At this time we do not have a release date for the Safari feature. I know that it is currently in the development phase and should be available later this year".

Okay. I am looking into using Chrome on my Mac.

As suggested, I installed Chrome on my Mac and then installed Tidal. I cannot believe it. The sound quality is very good. I am still experimenting with different artists, etc. Based on results so far, it is easily worth $20 per month. Yes, it is a little slow to load the music but this is no problem. Thanks again for your suggestions.

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.

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.

I agree with Cerrot's post above. Tidal Hi-Fi is an excellent source for music streaming at CD quality. I have been listening for a week now and love it. Yes, it takes a few seconds to start an album and a few seconds between album songs but this is not a problem. Who cares! The sound quality is excellent. Tidal Hi-Fi offers great sounds since it is uncompressed internet audio streaming.
