"I did it all by myself!"

and very nice it looks too

Happy Birthday JP!

Cheese and auto tune? Cleared for take off http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/11236788/The-cheesiest-flight-safety-video-of-all-time.html

Shelly, web player -> stream to AirPlay ... Apparently https://tidalsupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201724421--How-do-I-stream-through-Airport-Express-Airplay- (Although that implies PC)

Even in chrome?

Bring back Gavrilo Princip I say

He does seem to have some anger issues, maybe he needs a nice cup of tea? (caution more swearing and English vernacular) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWkySWTqM8g

Happy Birthday!

It would be interesting to see how the selections vary by county. If anyone in the US feels that an artist is underrepresented, I (or 'stretch) could compare, and vice versa. Maybe Tyll could get an article out of it. I could even get a U.S. Trial before the UK one expires and do a side-by-side . Thoughts / suggestions.

Joanne was entertaining some book club couples, so I was "forced" to "endure" the following during the course of the meal. Stuffed mushrooms Colorful winter salad Roast tatties Apple crumble It's a tough job ...

You jest, but this is from the Tidal account I signed up for (!) while in the UK, So probably down to geo-referenced ip licensing restriction shenanigans.

Paper airplane search Alison Krauss search, -> Artist -> Albums -> More

Dodgy metadata / inconsistent search graph. Complain

^Selling red vodka. Assorted cocktails and craft beers and Icelandic baked goods

Tidal iOS, search Paper Airplane, multiple hits including albums with Alison Krauss as artist. Navigate the search graph via multiple paths to reach the node of interest (Two paper airplane albums + international touring edition)

Lossless CD is 1411kbps, flac will be some fraction of that depending on the achieved data compression, then add album art, metadata, protocol overhead, etc. You'd be better off measuring it empirically, with a network monitoring tool, and a sample listening session, with interactions, for say an hour to establish a ballpark baseline, Then multiply up using that stuff you do for a living

Some folks have mentioned if you change the trial Url, you can get a 30 day trial rather than 7 when you sign up, maybe next time when you rotate through emails / CC's

The Access to featured new albums, is handy for the impatient

Christmas at Downton Abbey! Er, Thanks Tidal!

Thanks to an ickStream beta that's gone live, I can now get Tidal as an input to the squeezebox ecosystem. So now listening to gapless, lossless, synced multi-room new album goodness, streamed from the cloud, controlled by iPeng, because: technology!

Meanwhile, clickbait on El reg http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/11/14/breaking_fad_vinyl_and_turntables/ Interesting to note that the flexson vinylplay ("The Digital Turntable") http://www.whathifi.com/news/ifa-2014-flexson-introduces-sonos-ready-vinylplay-digital-turntable http://www.digitaltrends.com/music/flexsons-vinylplay-turntable-makes-streaming-records-sonos-speakers-easy/ http://hifipig.com/flexson-launch-vinylplay-turntable/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/event/article-2768493/Flexson-s-VinylPlay-There-s-never-affordable-turntable-digitises-vinyl-sound-like-proper-hi-fi-now.html http://www.richersounds.com/product/turntables/flexson/vinylplay/flex-vinylplay-wht may be OEM'd by Rega ... if sources are to be believed Usual rich crop of quotes in the comments section
