Noticed this on Reddit.
Did TIDAL just increase their total number of tracks? For some reason, thought they had 10 million.
I haven’t counted them yet…
I just finished counting. I got to 9,998,987. I may have counted one track twice.

I no longer have a DAC with an MQA light so I’m flying blind when using the desktop app.
I have a dilemma. I have a Direct Stream DAC Mk.1 w/ Bridge II. Using USB, I’m able to stream both Qobuz and Tidal at 352.8khz/24 resolution. Using XLR, I’m able to get 192/24 using Qobuz, but with Tidal, the highest resolution I get is 48/24. What gives?
Are you using Roon, the native apps or some other source for Q & T?
A nice change. Hopefully, we will see it in Android and others.
iOS only as of now.
Tidal will finally let you see which hi-res tracks are FLAC versus MQA

If anyone sees these changes in an iOS app, please post.
I noticed additional changes in the TIDAL Mac OS app today regarding format badges.
An excellent improvement as we can now visually tell if a stream is 16/44 FLAC, high resolution FLAC or MQA.
Conventional 16/44 FLAC
Conventional HR FLAC
MQA

@bootzilla quite cool isn’t it.
BluOS must still be working on the switch or, maybe with the Lenbrook purchase, MQA will be a permanent stream?
TIDAL Mac OS app (this album was MQA until the last month or so):

I sort of thought this price change was going to happen and here it is:
For the cost of one LP per month, okay.
Via TIDAL:
Subscribers will be able to access all our current streaming features, including all premium audio formats, on a single subscription tier called TIDAL.
This is odd, I just got this from Tidal:
On your first billing date on or after April 10, 2024, you’ll now pay just $10.99 (plus applicable sales tax)/month for all the same features you currently use on a TIDAL Individual plan.
This is because we’re making it easier for everyone to enjoy best-in-class sound quality by combining our HiFi and HiFi Plus tiers into a single subscription tier called TIDAL.
I enjoyed paying $19.99. Dang.

It wouldn’t be the same.
Thanks though.

They are dropping the price and some discounts. One price fits all now, I guess. I suspect it will be a wash if most negatively impacted subscribers stay on.
All in all, I might be tempted to re-up.
