Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do?

I love Tidal. The sound quality from its Hifi mode (lossless) is truly amazing and awesome. I have lot's of SACDs and lossless on even old recordings in 16/44 rivals it. If you felt sorry that there was not enough Hires content, try Tidal.
My little Chord Hugo dac produces sound that is about on par with my EMM XDS1 cdp. The Tidal streaming even sounds better than the Hires downloads I tried from Acoustic Sounds and Musicdirect. I'm not kidding. I hope people support this because I don't want it to go out of business. Please give it a try. I'm just a user and longtime audiophile with no other interest than keeping this remarkable service alive so I and others can use it.

100 Tracks 03.04.2015, Acoustic Covers, Working Class Rock and Spotify 60-80s playlists have been described above. For example, as noted above, "The 100 Track Playlist" was created by Chris Connaker of Computer Audiophile. If I do not know the name of a playlist, where do I search in Tidal to find what other playlists that are available (non Tidal created)? Is there a playlist for classical music?

To find the classical playlists, choose PLAYLISTS (under WHAT'S NEW on the top left side) and enter classical into the playlist search bar.

I tried it and it comes up with 20 or so lists.

You need to do this from the Tidal webplayer. I haven't tried it with any other source.

You an also just search for a composer (or conductor). Search shastakovich or Chopin or Bach.

You will then see the albums as well as any related playlists. Bingo!

Of course I would never do this, but, I can take the digital out of my transporter and connect in to the digital in of my alesis cd burner and you can burn tidal playlists (and albums) onto cd. You would need to do the meta data manually but you can bring those tunes into your car (or bring a compilation disc into the offic, give as gifts).

Tidal Streaming Customer Service is excellent. For example, I asked "Does Tidal have playlists for Classical music?". Their response is below:

"You can go to genres, and then select classical music. Here you will see a variety of content. While this is not our entire classical music catalog, this is just a start. We have playlists, albums, and some featured tracks on the genre page.

If you go to the Artist / Composer page you can use the appears on section to find albums where that Artist / Composer is featured a long side with other classical music. I find the Appears On section on the the best for finding new music based on an Artist that I enjoy listening to.

Another alternative is to use our partner Roon. They have spent years developing a huge metadata search engine which provides users with some incredible search flexibility and power. Roon is a paid service, but they do offer a 30 day trial. Here you can search for your favorite composer and see every instance of their work on TIDAL.

For classical music lovers, it is definitely an application to check out".

Roon looks very interesting. Does anyone have any experience using Roon?
