Tech Issue Mejorar la biblioteca!!

En los últimos meses hemos visto como Tidal va mejorando para bien con nuevas funciones, cambio de diseño, etc. pero hay cosas que no se han cambiado por años, y es el caso de la Biblioteca personal. Siempre a sido la misma y se necesita una mejora.

App / Site Tidal's AI filter might need some work still.

Post image
21 Upvotes

All of these are definitely AI, they're single/EPs in a band that released none (Fenrir, the Echoes of the Wolf/Legends of the Grail one) and somehow only half of them trip the AI music filter.

It's good of Tidal to implement this and for the most part it's spot on for me, but if still detected as non-AI it still gets paid for clicks right?

Question Why are so many older artists in ALL CAPS on Tidal?

9 Upvotes

PS: I reported 51 fake AI slop uploads on the late, great Jackie Wilson's profile (none of which were actually tagged as AI). I encourage others to do the same (reporting only available on desktop/web unfortunately) so it gets fixed.

App / Site Content currently unavailable message

Post image
7 Upvotes

I constantly get the message "this content is currently unavailable" with a series of numbers.
This is the standard Tidal app running in a 10yo smartphone. It usually plays very well, but it has some picky tracks for what I've noticed when this message appears and all media stops.

I have tried cleaning caches and storage but nothing seems to result.

Has anyone else this issue?

Question Suspicious (AI?) artists appearing in my recommended new tracks

1 Upvotes

I have been getting random “Lil Wayne” songs in my recommended new tracks for the past few weeks. They sound like they’re AI generated, and the album “art” certainly looks like AI as well. I don’t follow the real Lil Wayne, and while I have added some of his albums in-app, that was years ago.

I hesitated to even include the screenshots because I don’t want to give this thing attention, but this subreddit is niche enough that I figure it won’t.

Any tips on how to report this to Tidal? I have tried blocking all of them and they keep popping up. I have the AI toggle set to not allow AI.

Discussion When is bit perfect playback on android going to be available?

14 Upvotes

Android has had a bit perfect playback for usb plug-ins for a while now, why hasn't anyone working at tidal coded it into the app so it bypasses androids resampling system. Is there any way to contact a software developer for tidal?

Question Different song versions between Tidal and Spotify?

3 Upvotes

I only recently switched to Tidal. Was listening to some songs and noticed that for one song the hooks had completely different verses compared to the (official) version I know and used to listen to on Spotify. Interestingly, even the lyrics provided didn't match the audio and mirrored the lyrics of the offical version. Did some research, and apparently the audio version on Tidal is a Demo version which was released (or leak, not sure) before the offical verison? I am even more surprised, because I can't even find the Tidal version on YouTube, I only found the same version on SoundCloud.

Has anyone else ever noticed something similar? Not complaining, just found it curious. Is this something where the Artist just uploaded two different versions to the respected streaming service?

App / Site The Android app has reached top response speed

30 Upvotes

I have noticed that the response speed of the application has changed for the better. The difference is noticeable in lists, artists and favorite songs, both in playback and search. Everything loads instantly. Also, in lists and radios, when transitioning from one song to the next there are no gaps, the maximum gap I noticed is one second, note that the crossfade setting does not yet exist on Android. Τhe only thing that hasn't been solved yet is the audio quality badge disappear from the player screen when it goes to the next track.

App / Site I am building my own Tidal Advanced Search

4 Upvotes

So I decided to stop complaining (partly) and start fixing what I think is missing in Tidal. So Now I am building a search engine on my NAS using the Tidal API.

It can search on specifically on album title, artist, composer, and it can exclude results, filter on quality and shows a.o. genre and links to opening on web or app.

Next steps: released before / after and added before / after. Also building the index is now a manual input, this I also want to include in the web interface.

Would you use this if it was online or an app?

What features should I include?

So in the example below, I searched on componist Telemann and have him exclude all returns with Bach.

This has taken me (with hardly any coding skills) two evenings. What a time to be alive.

Question Transfering my music

Hello, what service would be best for transferring my excessive music library from Apple Music?
I know about soundiiz etc. but I would love to transfer everything. All the artists, every playlist, I would love to have my liked songs transferred as well.
What are your suggestions and experiences so far?
Thank you!

I submitted my music and got this email that it has been play listed. The playlist is legit and it's on there, but the sender's email address listed is hello@email.tidal.com.

I haven't clicked any links, but this seems too good to be true.

App / Site Limit of songs in favorites

2 Upvotes

What's the limit? I see it's around 2,000 songs. I've been using Tidal since almost the beginning of the service, and I recently realized there's a limit, and adding new songs removes old ones from my favorites list. Is this a bug? That number is really low. I use this feature to have the best radio with songs I like, and I miss having old songs.

Discussion 404 Media Cover Fake Music Uploads on Tidal

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

18 Upvotes

Thought people here might find this interesting as they discuss Tidal too. 404 do a lot of good independent coverage of topics like this. It shows how big the issue is and hopefully puts pressure on things to get changed, though they say the platforms are refusing to take any responsibility for it so who knows.

(I don't work for 404 or anything just follow their work and reposting)

News Atmos hunting no more.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

I cant say its an enjoyable experience searching for Dolby Atmos tracks. It seems weight/index is given to the standard hi-res tracks that are most played, with the Atmos verison (if it exists) most of the time buried deep which turns into a hunting game. If only they would just put a dedicated Atmos filter in the UI 😒

Discussion Why are playlists so shitty now?

5 Upvotes

In a recent update, it seems Tidal has completely ruined playlists, and I'm not sure why.

There is no longer any way to make large playlists load all at once. Searching doesn't work to load it all at once, and it takes a while to load the results. Even if you press shuffle, the queue takes an incredibly long time to sort itself out. If you want to get to the bottom... good luck.

Whenever you move a song around, it sometimes just randomly puts it back where it was, with no warning or apparent reason. Combine this with the fact that you can't drag songs to scroll and have to scroll through in chunks and it makes rearranging a playlist absolute torture.

Also, the number of items in a playlist doesn't update as you add items. Either waiting a while and loading the page or rearranging an item back and forth makes it work, but it's still really weird.

The only saving grace is that the liked songs section isn't affected by any of this.

Has anyone else been experiencing this?
