Tidal, Deezer

@leemaze. 

Most odd and disturbing. I can honestly say I have had zero issues on mobile phone Tidal playback unless in very spotty reception area, I stream it constantly in my car via Bluetooth to my car radio.
Not sure if that may be more phone specific issue? 

I have to say I have zero issues with the tidal app being "buggy" either on phone or desktop.
Not sure what you are running it on.
Just my preference obviously but I found it to be a very easy user friendly interface.
As for recommendation, possibly as I never use that, I always play something I have searched for or previously saved

If not Tidal there will always be somebody else.
Whether we like it or not streaming is here for keeps and will only get faster, higher sq, more variety.
Its what they call progress even if  not all of us like and embrace it.......

It sounds like Spotify does work on anything offline then.

I am fairly sure if I added Tidal to my old Samsung Galaxy tab it would have offline available there but it is NOT on my laptop.

I have just verified on my laptop that Tidal does indeed NOT allow offline downloads to a "normal" pc.
Bummer......

I have been a convert to Tidal for the last year or so and all I can say is ... should have done it sooner!

As long as you have a paid subscription (9.99 or 19.99 for hifi) you have access to so much music it is incredible.
Downloading it to play offline is ridiculously easy although obviously it takes up storage space on a phone say, possibly a tablet may be better?

I did try Spotify and I guess I just got so used to Tidal I found its interface and search and play functions to be a little clunky although it seems the majority think it is Tidal that is inferior...lol go figure.

Do not even start with the huge debate raging over Tidal available MQA files, all I know is to my ears the sq is noticeably superior.
