In December 2017, someone reported that Tidal may only have enough cash left to last six months.  I searched Google today and found no information on the financial condition of Total Streaming.   Are they really in trouble?  What is the real story?   Are they for sale?

The above post reports that Tidal has serious problems in various areas.   Others have reported that "Tidal’s subscription numbers have been disputed, but estimates put it between 1 and 3 million, much further behind even Apple Music, which has 30 million. With no turnaround in sight, or change in strategic direction, some analysts speculate that Tidal will eventually SELL itself to one of its rivals, hoping to buy their subscribers and exclusive content on the cheap".

I am a Tidal Streaming user and like it very much.   Its sound quality is excellent, its album selection is great for me and I enjoy the MQA selection.   if Tidal goes out of business, my Aurender will support QuBuz when it becomes available in the USA (but no other non compressed music streaming service).  

Based on many Audiogon posts, many Audiogon users are Tidal customers.  I hope that Tidal Steaming continues and doe NOT go out of business. 
If Tidal goes out of business (I hope not), how do I keep the names of the albums I marked as favorites?
@yyzsantabarbara, Thanks.  Unfortunately, my Aurender N10 Music Server does not support ROON.

@tomcy6,  Thanks.  As you stated, I certainly hope TIDAL will be around for a while.  I believe TIDAL is the only music streaming service that provides MQA Coded albums.  Tidal Streaming is excellent and I am surprised it does not have more subscribers.  I wonder if the above are numbers are correct.  
Email I received from Qobuz: “we are not opened yet in the United States but we hope to extended our services there very soon as well.  Thanks a lot for your interest!  By registering to our NewsLetter, you will be informed of the opening for new countries.  (it's planned for this fall at this stage).  We are included in the AURENDER Music Servers”.  Unfortunately, no release date announced yet.

i also emailed Tidal about their financial status and they have not responded yet.  Unfortunately, they may not respond.
