Tidal, Deezer
I'm looking at the Spotify app as displayed on a MacBook Air.  Downloaded albums are listed under "Playlists".  When I turn WiFi OFF, these are still available and playable.  I expect something similar will be true for Tidal as well, just haven't ...

Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?
Yes.  Can sound amazing one day and (infrequently) irritating the next; way more good days than bad, fortunately.   Two variables I attribute this to are: - weather conditions, esp. humidity (I haven't kept a log but suspect rain and or/higher hum...

@maplegrovemusic What track the Lenny White solo on?  Almost (but not quite) through the entire 2 discs and don't believe I've heard one.  Thanks. 
Tune of the Day
Hey Slaw - When I saw your Fogelberg/Weisberg post, I did think the album title ironic (in a good way) given some of our exchanges. Honestly, though, back in the day (a friend taped that one for me) I was never crazy about it. Probably more Weisbe...

easola1 - Don’t be impressed. I try to be thorough (and accurate) but my technical competency with these things is pretty limited. I had Spotify first. I got used to it. Liked the layout and really like the Browse/Discover function. That introduce...

@jafant Check out "Forever". The 2nd disc, especially, SMOKES. Mostly a keyboard led trio with some excellent "guest" guitar work by Bill Connors - it is a pretty exciting recording. Right now preferring this to Chinese Butterfly but a wide margin.

easola - re your first paragraph - YES.  If the service loses rights to an artistist's album, it is no longer available - whether previously downloaded and whether currently connected or not.re your second paragraph: DOWNLOADED Spotify music files... 
Ranking of 1 or 2 best recorded violin masterworks in my humble opinion, first part (TMI)
Placement in the Classical Aficionados thread certainly wasn't an "order", Gerry...more a suggestion.  Now that the list is in two places, even better visibility for it.  Thanks again.

Gerry - Your post here would make a great addition to the "Classical Music for Aficionados" thread. Consider copying and pasting there. Thanks for taking the time providing these recommendations. I was particularly interested in your Bach unaccomp...

I have Spotify and Tidal "premium" subscriptions.  Haven't done the "download for off line listening" with Tidal, though I think it is very similar to that offered by Spotify.  With Spotify, YES, you can download whole albums (or individual tracks...

Corea, Clarke, & White - "Forever"A 2 disc release that is getting better the further in I go.  Won't make it through the entirety tonight but definitely worth a return visit to hear the rest.  On Tidal.   
Jazz for aficionados
nsp - Thanks for the suggestions and additional video.  Ah...of course, Bob Mintzer.  I've been enjoying the Yellowjackets' Timeline album quite a lot recently.  Was totally overlooking Bob Mintzer on bass clarinet.  Unfortunately, the Bob Mintzer...
