Full MQA music list.

Only a portion on the total MQA files available on Tidal are presented on the Masters tab. The remainder must be found by happenstance without that list above.

linnlingo has a great point.

Totally get your frustration linnlingo. I think JayZ is actually promoting something else more than music per se and much of the "music" is only the vehicle.

Once a week or so, I look at the "New" tab by genre to see what has been added. Jazz is being added at a snails pace and there remains huge gaps in the catalog. "Pop" (or whatever the proper label is) is added at the speed of light. Many of the MQA selections on the "Masters" tab make me wonder why someone would care about the sound quality of that "media" at all. Even MQA can't rescue it. 

Regardless, it makes no sense not to have a tab with a complete library of MQA titles.

mr m,

The issue here is the poor job that Tidal itself does at creating a central repository for MQA titles.

Why should paying customers have to resort to a spreadsheet to identify MQA titles, or worse, only find them by happenstance?

The "Masters" section of Tidal as such a central library of MQA titles is a joke. Appears to me that the same despots that select titles to highlight in the "New" (non-mqa) section of Tidal are in charge of the Masters Section as well. At least 50% of the titles added weekly to the Masters section are virtually unlistenable from a sound quality standpoint. As for the musical value of same, well I will just leave it at, "It is not my taste".

There are exceptions of course and infrequently a real gem gets included, but it is a rarity and seems to be getting worse over time, IMO.

We appear to have made a major mistake by inferring that Tidal MQA=audiophile/music aficionado.

Dave

Been getting frequent emails from Tidal announcing their "exclusive" promotions and urging members to listen. Seems that they have plenty of resources for that.

This month this far:

1) Taylor Swift
2) Mount Joy "Where I'm From"
3) Indochine "13"
4) Arcade Fire
5) Celebrate Latinx Heritage Month (today)

Judge for yourself.

Dave

Too much time as a "work in progress" may end in Tidal MQA becoming a "work in congress".

Dave

Yes, jond, it comes and goes and completely eludes attempts to find repeatable root cause IME.
