Switched to Tidal years ago and was really enjoying it. Audio quality was excellent, their curated playlists were great, and the daily mixes just seemed to "get" me.
Had been pretty frustrated with their app, though. Offline play seemed to have a mind of its own: things wouldn't download, tracks that appeared to be there weren't, and playback would fail for no apparent reason.
I was having those issues on an old phone that was about to lose support, and I committed to not ditching Tidal until I recreated the problems with a newer model.
Fired up Tidal on the new phone and everything appears to work flawlessly. I wondered what the problem with the old phone had been....
Checked the storage and the issue was immediately apparent: I was trying to put 130 GiB of songs onto a phone with 164 GiB of storage. 😶
That's bound to cause some odd problems (although in my defense, the app probably should have said, "You don't have enough free space" instead of just working weird.)
