Tidal streaming has been sporadic at best for me as well (I'm in Singapore).
 
Couple of local users reporting drop outs and stuttering / no data loading etc too (it' been about 2-3 days).
 
With reports of top execs jumping ship i'm starting to worry. 

 
That is certainly worrying, how reliable is the source of that news?

Forget about my last post, I just googled it.

Tell us what you learned?

Last night I experienced Some brief stuttering plus some buffering type issue.

When I changed tracks mid-tune, there was no response from Tidal, the song would just continue for up to perhaps a minute longer before switching to the new track. Very irritating unless listening to an entire album.

FWIW, I haven't had issues with Tidal after they updated the player. On the old player the songs would randomly start playing at a higher speed and I had a lot of streming problems, so I canceled the subscription for a while back then. The search function is a bit hit or miss even now, but I can easily live with it.

  Hope it is a localized issue and Tidal will sort out the dropouts and no data loading situation.  Yes, it started a few days ago.
I tested connecting through a VPN link to the US and it seems to eliminate the dropouts.
Keeping fingers crossed it is a temporary situation in Asia.

Glad to report that Tidal streaming seem to have improved significantly today.  No lengthy buffering/data loading situation, and back to its usual performance I had been used to.
Hope it continues this way again!

Seems to be back to normal for me as well.
 
*fingers crossed*

Certainly downloading tracks quicker for me

Well, after acquiring Tidal, Jay-Z replaced the former CEO for a new one.
More recently some upper echelon staff went, one co-joined a new consultancy firm,
others were sacked in order to keep the overhead down.
Just the regular US company moves, in my humble opinion.
But than again I am certainly not an avid reader of the Wall Street Journal,
and would like to keep it like that.

Last 4-5 days the buffering problem has plagued me to a large degree. So much that I have avoided Tidal altogether.

Sent through my cancellation of service, I think I have 1 or 2 days left. Going to Apple Music because of stability.

Sad situation.

That's too bad.  No Tidal streaming problems for me here in Virginia.

In the very early days of Tidal in the US, I had some buffering problems but, since then, Tidal has been great, day or night. I live in PA (perhaps the issue is with the internet provider).

Unfortunately still not back to normal in Hong Kong, contrary to what I hoped.
Still had buffering problems today, less, but enough to make Tidal streaming not usable.
I tried connecting through a VPN to the US, and it seemed to improve significantly.  So for now, this is the best way for me to use Tidal.

We consistently average >75 Mbps here from Xfinity, I don't see it being an ISP problem. Strange as heck though, just a couple states away, the problem doesn't exist.

Hmm, perhaps not an ISP problem. My service is typically 10mbps and streaming is fine.
