They have some bugs to work out. All I did was click 'Try Now' from the home page and...

Is there some sort of voucher or discount code?

Not that I know of . I signed up a few months ago to get early access and received my email to register this morning

Think folks who signed up to be notified got a longer trial period. 30 days vs 7. IIRC.

Yes

Ok, thanks. Playing my 7 day trial now.

I signed up to be notified of Tidal's availability and logged into it today. I listened for about 5 minutes and then canceled my Beats subscription. I haven't critically listened yet, but it's quite good.

Anyone experiencing drop outs? I am getting a lot of drop outs/hiccups at the beginning of each song. Seems to stop about 30 seconds into each track. I think my internet speed is fine at about 25mbps.

I am running through the latest version of JRiver 20 into an Ifi Micro DSD.

What resolution downloads does it allow?

Has Tidal actually installed servers in the US, or are they trying to stream their content from Europe? If it's the latter, then it wouldn't surprise me that users would be experiencing dropouts.

tnewell · « **Reply #11 on:** 29 Oct 2014, 12:51 pm »

I think the problem may be the Windows version of their software. I get no drop outs streaming to my IPhone and IPad. Or it could be the new JRiver WDM driver I Am using.

No dropouts on my PC

I think I have found the culprit causing the stuttering/ dropouts. I Think it's Fidelizer. I always run Fidelizer 6.0 before using J River. I restarted my computer without running Fidelizer and the problem seems to have gone away.

Fidelizer has a 6.1 version now, and they "fixed" the drop problem in the program. Might be worth trying.

Is there any way to stream Tidal from an Android tablet or phone to home audio system using wifi, not bluetooth (which would compromise the lossless quality)?

Folks:
Would someone please check to see if Tidal has any ECM material for me? I'm trying out Qobuz and they have none whatsoever.
Thanks,
Mike

I checked Keith Jarrett for you and it is available

I think ECM is a European label? Tidal is a European company so if I have my facts straight they should have a reasonable selection of ECM records and artists.

Would you please look again. I can get Qobuz to list ECM content but when you try to play it, it won't play…
Thanks,
