    The Computer Audiophile 100 Playlist

    thumb.pngThere's nothing like finding a new gem to listen to through your HiFi, headphones, or even car audio system. Well, here are 100 gems! The Computer Audiophile 100 is a playlist of music that I use for evaluating components at home and at audio shows. I selected TIDAL HIFI for this playlist because the service is lossless and the TIDAL HIFI library contains 99% of the music I wanted to put on the list. Subscribers of TIDAL HIFI can listen to the playlist in its entirety, add it to their favorites, and even download the tracks to a mobile device for offline listening. Those of you who aren't subscribers can sample each track and at least view the playlist to find out which tracks made the CA 100. This isn't an advertisement for TIDAL HIFI. The service made it so easy for me to compile and disseminate my playlist, that there was no way I was going to create a spreadsheet with manually entered links etc… This playlist is all about the music. I hope you enjoy and think about creating your own list to share with the members of the Computer Audiophile Community :~)[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]

    Chris- I meant 'white' sorry(what turns red briefly is forward and next play buttons). NOW what about this web browser that i now suddenly have in addition to the mac desktop app? AND why did TIDAL tell me to install NativeClient, i had never heard of it, have always used google chrome as my browser and i had HIFI all these months on the desktop app in 'white' never grayed out?

    I went to google://plugins and found that NativeClient is imbedded in chrome so I disabled it and enabled it and suddenly I now have HIFI in both apps and i never lost Qobuz HIFI at all.

    Have anyone else had this problem and do you all have this 'new' bigger brighter web page for TIDAL web browser app?

    I am now listening to your CA 100 and it sounds beautiful.

    Isn't it strange this all happened after the Jay-Z etal. news conference, it took about 7-8 emails to TIDAL to get this figured out but i did get a 30day free complimentary service when i explained to them I was a so called VIP original subscriber

    thanks for your reply

    I can understand the use of a quality service like TIDAL, but am not going to be a subscriber any time soon. Id rather spend my $240 a year on something more tangible. TIDAL is trying to squeeze every last cent from anyone who listens and in a market saturated with a vast amount of free options. It reminds me of long distance charges years ago.

     

    Sorry for the rant, The list is very enjoyable, I'm sure it would be better listening to whole tracks instead of the less than 30 second clips.

    Chris,

     

    Wonderful list on TIDAL. I was listening to your list to discover some new music Along the way, I also found out how good my new KEF 300XA desktop speakers are. I cannot wait to listen to this list on a big rig system (future purchase).

     

    Hope you do another list.

     

    BTW - I read some negative TIFAL comments here. I love TIDAL my only concern is that they are around long term. ROON + TIDAL + SONARE microRendu are an incredible combination.

    I wasn't aware of this playlist until I was perusing the activity stream for today. Anyone know of a way to play it through Audirvana?

    If you have tidal via audirvana yes it should work. Add it to your favorites online and then find it in audirvana. I did this today with lumin.

    Thanks, I tried that and can get the playlist to show up on the Tidal app on other devices, as well as Sonos, but not Audirvana (though it does display other playlists I've favorited). I also cannot locate it using the search feature through Audirvana. Tidal is relatively new to Audirvana, likely just a little bug Damien needs to work out… It does look like a good playlist though. I guess I'll just have to settle for Sonos for now.

    Would you provide this list in excel or text file? Also, how can I get this into Roon?
