On iOS it‘s removing all the content when reinstalling the app. Probably on Android it doesn‘t...
If by "reinstalling" you mean first uninstalling the app, Android deletes content as well. It is expected on both iOS and Android that uninstalling any app will also delete all of the app's local data.On iOS it‘s removing all the content when reinstalling the app. Probably on Android it doesn‘t...

What is the consensus so far of Tidal vs Amazon HD? I mostly use Tidal for music at home and while driving via android auto/car play for lossless music in my car. It works really well. It sounds Amazon is worth a try, but I believe I saw something about its streaming algorithm needs work in the sense that it downgrades the stream from Lossless to lossy if needed which would drive me insane..
It works fine on Mac if you do the following 2 actions:Thanks. I'm not holding my breath though. Amazon's support staff are utterly clueless.
It does appear that the situation is somewhat better for Windows and Mac, but to get bit-perfect playback, you need to manually set the sample rate in the OS (which might vary from track to track).
It works fine on Mac if you do the following 2 actions:
1. Set Audio Midi to 24bit / 96KHz.
2. Go to settings / privacy and add Amazon App.
then it plays at correct bit rate and KHz.
How have you confirmed that? Isn't it simply playing at whatever sample rate you've set your Windows OS to?At least on Windows it's just shared mode, there is no resampling going on in app.
Surely, if you set the OS' sample-rate/bit depth to 96/24, then 96/24 is what you'll get - regardless of the actual sample rate of the track in question???It works fine on Mac if you do the following 2 actions:

No, it changes in accordance to track. You can see this on the yellow ultra hd badge. It switches according to track.How have you confirmed that? Isn't it simply playing at whatever sample rate you've set your Windows OS to?

I understand what you're saying, but like @exdmd said - I don't think you can trust what Amazon's telling you Try connecting an external DAC to your Mac (one that will correctly report the sample rate it receives). I think you're going to find it just gives you whatever sample rate you set in the audio midi setup. Regardless of HD or Ultra HD.No, it changes in accordance to track.
