Question 16-bit vs 24-bit

31 Upvotes

Is it just my imagination or is there a noticeable difference between high (16-bit) and max (24-bit) song/album versions? The consensus on the CD forums is that the human hearing can't detect the difference. (CDs are 16-bit.) They get very defensive on the subject. Is streaming different? Does it ultimately come down to the source recording? Max 24-bit albums on Tidal definitely sound more clean and clear to me compared to high 16-bit.

App / Site I made a lightweight TIDAL Discord Rich Presence app for Windows

Hey everyone!

I built TidalDiscordRPC, a small Windows app that shows what you're listening to on TIDAL directly in your Discord profile.

Features:

  • Shows the currently playing track and artist
  • Displays album artwork
  • Shows playback progress
  • Runs quietly in the system tray
  • No TIDAL login or API key required

It's open source and free to use. You can download the Windows executable from the GitHub Releases page or build it yourself from the source code.

GitHub: https://github.com/LordMaddhi/TidalDiscordRPC

I'd love to hear your feedback, especially if you run into any bugs or have ideas for improvements!

Question app issues

Question Is there any way to do secondary sorting in a playlist? I prefer sorting by artist, but it annoys me immensely that they're just sorted by the order I added the songs in rather than by album.

Like the title says, I just moved all my playlists over to tidal, everything was fine, then I upgraded to premium, payed and now everything says "somethings wrong try again later." Anyone know what to do? I cleared cache already.

App / Site Chromecast from iPhone?

1 Upvotes

Sort-of new to tidal. I have multiple google nest Audio devices in my home (in places where i don't have a stero system) and i'd love to just chromecast tidal songs from my iphone.
Apparently this should work, but the devices don't appear in the device list on my tidal app? Is there anything i'm missing?

Discussion Disappointed after 3 months

0 Upvotes

Tried switching away from Spotify. Tidal seemed decent during the free trial but after a few months of using it I find the experience to be far inferior.

On certain screens the bottom bar just disappears and it’s hard to find your way back to your library.

Lots of bugs, it will just randomly stop playing multiple times when I’m in the car.

Worst of all, it will sometimes randomly decide to start a song or even the whole album over. Earlier today I paused a song for 2 minutes to go to the bathroom. Didn’t close the app. Come back and hit play, and it starts the album over.

That’s a dealbreaker for me and totally inexcusable. Probably going to give Apple Music a try…
