A new problem just popped up a couple of days ago while playing Tidal. While playing Album or Playlist, Sequential or Shuffle, it will play 2 tracks fine and stops playing. Will continue to play by manually selecting a track (one at a time). I’m using an android mConnect Control HD for communication and it appears to be working correctly. Network and Speed are fine. Any and all suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance. ---

Sounds like an issue on TIDAL’s end. There have been [lots of reports](https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forums/topic/21653-official-tidal-hifi-streaming-issues-thread/) over the years of TIDAL buffering, freezing, stalling, skipping tracks, and the like. Personally, I am counting the days until Qobuz is released in the USA so that I can hopefully dump TIDAL once and for all. ---

Thanks. The problem has never occurred on Tidal streaming on my computer. I have not tested on other streamers. Will tomorrow. ---

Perhaps your system is trying to tell you something . . . ---

Tidal works very well with my bridge II controlled from my Ipad using Mcontrol HD and ethernet connection from my Surface computer. -So much so that if an update for Bridge II is ever released, I would be hesitant to upgrade. I can hear very little improvement in SQ using the DSMP. By the way, can anyone tell me what the function of the “gapless” setting in Mcontrol is for? Thanks ---

I have been using Qobuz for over a year and never had it do anything remotely like what Tidal is known for. Not a single stoppage or freeze. ---

It is a silly throw-away comment. From your response, you clearly knew it was a joke but you chose to be offended. I suggest letting it go. I am sorry to have upset you. I take very little seriously without finding humor or irony. ---

Good news, thanks for updating the thread. ---

Yes, thank you for posting your solution. Perhaps at some point Tidal will resolve its issues. ---

Obviously this was a Roon setting, not a Tidal issue… ---

Thanks! A good clarification in this context. I am accustomed to hearing about Tidal problems.
