Tangential.

The TIDAL app is absolute trash, it has this same issue all the time; not just that, but also, if a download fails it just hangs there and does not download the rest of the album/playlist.

Also, why would you want to download things in the first place? To watch them offline, right? Well, guess what happens when you open the app w/o an internet connection ... it asks you to login, so you cannot even access your music. 900k/year TOC genius work there.

The only reason why I haven't canceled is because I'm too lazy to reset my password in order to login and cancel, lol. Might do it soon, though.

When I try it for a month, the worst part.. your entire download queue fails forever unless you manually remove hundreds of items one by one

There is no way to remove the stuck item if it's been pull from streaming library or you in country that -- such traveling etc -- does not have r ights to it. You simply cannot open the track to undownload it

		Also tried Tidal once with their trial, tried playing some music videos and it was just straight up blurry throughout. Not once did the music video played HD.

One thing I like about Tidal though: you can download everything, DRM-free, using tidal-ng.

But with TIDAL I cut them some slack because they're not a multibillion dollar behemoth.

I do wish they'd improve their CarPlay search results though. I hate asking for a well known song and getting some obscure EDM remix.

		Oh, but they are. It was founded by Jay-Z and then bought by the Twitter dopey guy.
