Why not Tidal under Streaming?
« on: September 24, 2020, 08:25:28 am »
Why cannot Tidal just be enabled under the Streaming section?  Is there any particularly reason for not? WDM is not a nice solution.

It's been discussed countless times here on the forums on why streaming service integrations like Tidal/Qobuz/Spotify/etc. in JRiver Media Center likely won't ever happen. Next time I'd recommend doing a search of the forums before posting.

If you want Tidal streaming through MC itself, the WDM driver is the only way.

Did you read the topic I linked? Jim and Hendrik posted some insights.

TL;DR, JRiver did a Tidal integration years ago, it was fully working and everything. But Tidal was unpleasant for JRiver to work with and demanded control of the interface. Since this was a dealbreaker, JRiver chose to remove the Tidal integration.
