I have had some issues as well recently where I am playing certain albums and certain tracks are skipped because they cannot be located.

I have chalked it off to network speed/errors but maybe something else since everyone is having issues

I’ve had dropouts as well, particularly during the past couple of weeks. Usually it’s a skip of a second or two but sometimes longer.

It was reported elsewhere that Tidal is experiencing localized capacity/bandwidth issues on their servers.

A friend pointed out Sprint is running a promotion offering 6 months of free Tidal. If related, Tidal gained short term subscribers who don’t pay and will likely lose long time subscribers who pay full pop. Hmm JZ’s smarter than that.

Default Tidal Skipping

Me as well, wasn’t sure if was my internet, my router system, my preamp or blueos card or tidal, hopefully it’s just Tidal and resolves itself.

Some users experiencing problems even with high speed connections have found the issue to be related to their service provider's DNS settings. In many cases changing your network settings to use Google Public DNS can help avoid or eliminate these problems. The only way to know whether it will help your specific situation is to try it, and the procedure for changing your DNS settings is detailed here: https://developers.google.com/speed/...cs/using?hl=en

Bill have you tried the DNS change? Did it fix the problem?

I listened to Tidal last night through my N10. I didn't have any skipping problems - so far. Hope it stays that way.

Default tidal drop off's

I too have the problem. It seems lately a bit more frequently. Last evening twice for about 2-4 seconds. I then click on my playlists, select the same one I'm playing and seems it doesn't happen again.

Hi Rick - I made that DNS change a while back, so while I'm not currently experiencing regular problems with Tidal streaming I can't definitively say whether it's due to those settings or not. Actually I switched to Cisco's OpenDNS Home instead of Google's, but either may be worth trying.

Default Tidal Skipping

I’ve been happily using TIDAL for about five days without any skipping or issues. Tonight I put on Branford Marsalis Eternal and I’m having a problem. I’m wondering if it’s the album on Tidal that might be the issue. Can someone else try playing it and see if it play’s nice
