[MLA] Tidal...

[Grimm | Eelco]

Dear Bob,

> Congratulations Eelco!

Thanks!

> Doesn't TIDAL treat the iPhone and the MacBook Pro differently? 

Yes, there are certainly differences between the iOS and Mac OS apps.

> For example I can only stream MQA from TIDAL -Masters from my laptop.

Alright. I guess they figured that not many people will connect their iPhone/iPad with the camera connection kit to a USB DAC, but it could be done of course.

> By the way, the " TIDAL-Masters" is an organizational mess!!  

I heard they are working very hard on a new version of their app. Please keep that confidential too! Hopefully it will solve problems like yours.

I am mainly using Roon Labs myself with Tidal on a media player, so I don't know much about the Tidal apps themselves.

All the best,
Eelco

> I used to be able to find my Wilco records by scrolling to the end of the "see "all masters" option "and find it with the other "W"s.  After scrolling past the new albums they put at the top of the "all albums" display, the display starts showing albums in alphabetical order.  For the past few weeks I can't scroll past the "L"s, thus I can no longer find my Wilco albums on the display.

It is holiday time in Norway but he is trying to get the programming work done before everyone is away. There's still some time needed for the algorithm to perform its work and extensive double checks of course, but he said that they will probably be ready in August. Tidal likes to be first with this... :-)
