Im over Tidal

I'm cancelling my Tidal subscription due to laggy, glitchy performance along with a music selection that is lacking.  I just can't take the long load times.  If it only take 3-5 seconds but you go through 3 or 4 tracks before you settle on one this adds up.  This along with dropouts (especially Friday and Saturday nights when I am trying to listen to Tidal) and I'm over it.   You are at the mercy of Tidal and your internet connection for music if this is your only source.

I'm moving on to vinyl.  Way better to have hard copies of your music in my opinion, and if you're going to go cd's why not vinyl?  I'm over being a computer dork in order to be an audio dork. 


Two thumbs down for Tidal; I waited it out to see if they would improve but they haven't.

Ummm, I feel kind of stupid now... lemme check into this.  I had zero issues when I was using the "premium" subscription but now that I am on "hifi" I'm having issues.  Didn't even think to blame it on the cable company...

How are your load times for songs?  I am experiencing 3 seconds at least, sometimes as long as 10 or 15 seconds...

Sorry I haven't replied forever... for some reason I didn't have the text box.

Anyways, yes I do believe it is my internet connection, without getting into details.

I have another thread that I can't seem to respond to either and that one is "Tidal vs Spotify".  Many people have responded saying that Spotify sounds as good as Tidal, which it doesn't, not even close.

I actually use Tidal as my main source and have for quite some time; I started this thread in a fit of rage but it was due more to user error than Tidal.
