Before the app update, I was able to cast Tidal to my Sonos system. I mainly went to all tracks and played on shuffle.
But since the update, they no longer play nicely together. They don't even work individually. Both Tidal and Sonos have suffered.
I can see the Sonos speakers when go to cast music from Tidal but it only connects for a brief second. Can't be the Tidal app as it can cast to my Chromecast.
That's a big problem as the Tidal controls in the new Sonos app lack key functions the old app had
- In Tracks, I can no longer play more than one at time. I have to manually add them one by one to the queue or to a playlist. I lost the ability to shuffle all tracks and play which I used ALL THE TIME.
- I can no longer add or delete songs to playlists in Tidal from the Sonos app (which is necessary since I can no longer cast from Tidal).
- I've also been having issues with Sonos speakers dropping the internet connection that I never used to have
I've been patiently waiting for any of these issues to be fixed but I'm losing faith in two companies that met my needs.
I'm tempted to ditch both services.
But why should I ditch Tidal when it worked fine with the old Sonos app?
And if I do, there's likely to be issues with Sonos such as latent sound volume control. So maybe I should stick with Tidal and get rid of my expensive investment in Sonos?
Please tell me there is hope coming in the near future. Or else my Sonos has just become an expensive radio.
Edit:
Forgot some things
- no widget for the Pixel
- unable to play more that 1 top tracks from an artist or an "artist radio"
If I could cast from Tidal that would solve nearly all my issues.
