Full MQA music list.

I keep stumbling on MQA albums that are not listed on the main Tidal MQA Masters list. Examples B.B. King and Aretha Franklin to name two artists. Is there any full listing in Tidal that accounts for all the MQA music??

Great point. I had to laugh when I saw early albums by the Faces (Rod Stewart, Ron Wood et al) available as MQA. Don't get me wrong...love the music and SQ can be good on some of these but not thinking these were guys sweating the details. They were lucky to find the door into the studio on some days. Does seem a little like silk purse from sow's ear.

Anyone experiencing frequent buffering playing MQA or regular music files on Tidal. Hadn't had significant issues until a month or so ago. Now frequent interruptions for buffering seem the norm. Would be curious to hear from other Tidal listeners. Thanks. (Hope linnlingo won't mind.)

I didn't want to have to go out and get a new router or bang on the door of my ISP. Dealing with them can be a bit frustrating until you get through to the right person. As jond noted, no problems with my ripped files. I need to double-check with Spotify but I think no buffering issues with it. My 1 year Tidal subscription that came with the Aries is about up. It'll be aggravating to start paying and get this kind of performance.

I read it and just checked my internet download speed (speedtestdotcom). It came in at 60+ Mbps which seems okay though paying Xfinity for Burst which is supposed to be 150Mbps max tested direct off the ISP modem via ethernet cable, I believe. My speed was wireless off an Airport Express router (and w/DirecTV, also wireless, recording a program). Will review that thread again...see if there is anything else I can do on my end. Kinda suspect it is Tidal since everything else runs "glitch" free.

Still some very occasional buffering but very short-lived. Nothing like before. Hardly any longer than the break between tracks on a recording. Improvement noted in about the same time frame as what you report. Sorry. Hadn’t yet seen Randy’s note about communication with Tidal when I wrote the above.
