And here I was holding out hope that the integration would yet improve. Although the fact that I couldn’t find the Pass + Tidal option for a recommendation a couple of months ago should have been a raging clue.

It was never perfect but was it ever handy in bringing together my 20+ year collection of non-commercial netlabel stuff, bootlegs, mashups and mixtapes that’ll never appear in public streaming and the more mainstream stuff in one place. Kept me discovering new shit all the time and got the family used to and using Plexamp thanks to the Tidal offering. Switching away from the horrible Spotify.

What now?

Before I discovered tidal integration with Plex, I liked slacker (now live one). Maybe I’ll move back to that or pandora. Slacker is nice that you can build a radio station based on multiple artists or albums.

Ouch, I remember when this was integration was announced a few years ago.

Glad I stuck with a locally managed library, however this must suck for those who have gotten used to the convenience of having one big music library…

Fuck me sideways

Tidal on AA crashes. The UI is generally garbage too. And I assume that when the integration goes away, so does the ability to use plexamp, even if selecting tidal as the library rather than my own that has tidal integrated. I’m not paying for something that not only doesn’t work the way that I want it to, but doesn’t work at all. Plexamp and local integration is the ONLY reason I even bother with Tidal in the first place. Bye Bye.
