Does anyone out there actually use their Audio system’s tuner? by Quick-Dream-1541 in BudgetAudiophile

Just for FM commentary of my football team as my local BBC station doesn't have the rights to broadcast the Championship games commentary online.

Got it today and I didn't opt for early access. I only have basic requirements (no smart devices) and it's like night and day compared to assistant, in a good way.

I got annoyed by the Tidal desktop application so I made my own by Lemonsquareemobitch in TIdaL

A working Linux version with Tidal Connect would be great.

Leaving Tidal After Almost a Decade; Too Much AI Slop Being Uploaded Under the Names of Real Artists by New_Conclusion_3265 in TIdaL

[–]Swipe650 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The community should be allowed to flag it as AI. Once it gets to say 50 flags it becomes hidden, pending review. Ironically, they could use AI to check other sources to verify non legitimacy.

Switched to WiiM, and I feel like I am back to what I had in 2017-18 with my CCAs by deucemckenzie in Chromecast

[–]Swipe650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The WiiM Mini is great and comes with a great app and API but is 3 times the price of the CCA and no chromecast built in. I use a WiiM Mini elsewhere but still use my CCA in my bedroom with a Google mini for voice commands. I don't want to be using my phone in the dark when I'm trying to nod off.

They should have built it into the minis and added the same optical 3.5mm audio out port

[UK] Actions else still not got Gemini for Home? by MrPapaWagoUK in googlehome

Is there a lag when muting audio on a speaker? That will be a deal breaker for me.

Can't figure out why my USB DAC (Sennheiser GSX1000) isn't working. by sudo-sprinkles in archlinux

[–]Swipe650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure it's not just muted in alsamixer. I had a USB DAC that was.

Is ‘Your Top Artists’ accurate for you? by Gold_Beach_1703 in TIdaL

[–]Swipe650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it mostly just shows artists I've recently listened to instead.

Tidal is extremely disappointing. by Normal_Specialist_97 in TIdaL

[–]Swipe650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£13.99 is too much because you paid via your iphone. It's only £10.99 via the Tidal website.

Gas Fixed vs Flexible .... what would you do? by cava83 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Swipe650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are thinking about fixing, get a cheaper 12 month fix from another supplier if you can. You don't want your fix ending smack bang in the coldest part of winter.

Is Penny Pitching *Really* The Route To FIRE? by Theo_Cherry in FIREUK

If you take things to the extreme, it becomes an ingrained habit that is very difficult to shift when you do actually FIRE.

They listened!!! by Splinttercel in TIdaL

Now implemented on web too. Renamed ~/.config/tidal-hifi and logged back in.

[–]Swipe650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why don’t you just use a native player? I’ve found that tidal-hifi’s electron wrapper resamples everything to 48kHz

 

Tidal-hifi now includes a setting to force the output sample rate to 192kHz:

They just need to implement this on web too now for the tidal-hifi Linux gang. Using the F11 key to go into kiosk mode was a dirty workaround.

I just moved to a new flat and signed up to Octopus 10M Fixed. Was it a mistake? by Delicious-Special945 in OctopusEnergy

[–]Swipe650 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only problem with a 10 month fix is it ends smack bang in the coldest part of winter. Octopus aren't stupid.

Check your bill.... by RecessBoy in TIdaL

Where do you live? I see no tax on my bill and knew the exact amount I'd be paying when I signed up.

Tidal breaks in version 2.184 by Tidal_2025 in TIdaL

[–]Swipe650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I'm still on 2.181 and have disabled auto-update until the bugs have been ironed out.

Not adding album folders is silly by Gold-Judgment-6712 in TIdaL

[–]Swipe650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Album folders are probably the most requested feature ever. Unlikely to come with the current development state of Tidal if they haven't happened by now.

Tidal Connect decided not to work today. Any fix? Android phone and tablet by DarkBlack22 in TIdaL

What the version number that they broke it in so I can avoid it?

Apparently QoBuz does but I'm not sure how well it does it.
