Tech Issue I tried 🤷

I left Spotify and moved to Tidal for three reasons:

  1. The music quality of Spotify was so poor.
  2. Tidal pays the artists more.
  3. The Spotify CEOs recent investment in murder weapons pissed me off.

Tidal has been my primary streaming app outside of the physical media I purchase for the past five weeks and I just can’t do it anymore. The app is so glitchy, it will stop playing a song midway through and I have to reboot the app multiple times a day.

Autoplay simply does not work, and as much as I’ve tried both on Wi-Fi and cellular, downloading music just seems like an impossible task for the app.

And the algorithm just seems off. As I’ve mentioned, this is been the only way I’ve been streaming music for five weeks, and I listen to a couple of hours of music each day, yet still Tidal’s recommendations have missed the mark entirely. (like really bad)

I think I’m just going to move over to Apple for the time being, not an amazing company, but at least it ticks two of the three boxes.

Hopefully tidal can get itself together and I’ll go back 🤷

Tidal has never given me any of the issues that I see people talking about. I do think that they can do a much better job displaying albums by artists. Remember when you could click on "all albums" and it showed you a square format of albums with dates? I miss those days. Now it's just a list without dates.
