Yess I was thinking about Spotify, I had it once, but I figure no point going back if it couldn't keep me hooked. That all sounds great 😍 excited to try something new - except the storage 🤔

Apparently it’s a quirk of iOS and listening to atmos sound quality tracks. On your device it will say you have videos downloaded. They need a way to quickly clear the cache. Right now I’m going through and deleting them one by one. Or I could just delete and reinstall the entire app. It’s annoying AF. Can’t believe they haven’t found a workable solution to this yet.
Is this with HiFi or HiFi Plus ?
HiFi
And this happens when you stream and when you download tracks ?
These weren’t downloaded tracks. According to a Reddit thread when you stream atmos tracks iOS stores them as downloaded videos. Tidal on my iPhone got to using 14GB of storage before I was like WTF. I deleted and reinstalled Tidal. Problem solved.
Whoa! Thats huge. Do you know if there’s a way to turn of atmos ?
*turn off
You could probably listen to it on a lower sound quality setting but that defeats the purpose of why I have Tidal. 🤷🏼♀️
So if I understand correctly, when you set it to High it’s always atmos ?
Depends on the track. When you set it to high it will automatically play the highest sound quality available.
Thanks for the explanation! I’m trying it out rn. I like it so far!
I’m kind of addicted to the Daily Discovery playlist. It gets better as you use Tidal. Occasionally there’s an off day. It’s now become a daily routine. I’ve joked with friends sometimes I love it so much it’s getting to “Her” levels of affection. So many songs are love songs. So I went through a spell where my Daily Discovery was literally just like a new curated playlist of love songs for me. 🫶🏻
