Tidal streaming issues are your internet provider/modem/router isues, IE, you do not have a fast enough throughput. You may be paying your provider for 50 mips but unless you check it yourself, you do not know what you have. I had Tidal problems in the beginning as well. I ran speedtrest and found out my cable company, who was charging me $50 a month for the "50 mips fast download" never initiated it and I was using 5 mips for years, paying for 50. Once I told the cable company, they hit the switch and I was listening to tidal without ANY issues.
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.
