Amazon streaming service great sound but a bug machine.
I have signed up for the 90 day free trail. Yes it is still buggy especially with downloading problems.
However sound quality is definitely better than Tidal Premium. Smoother more liquid and transparent. At $15 for non prime members it will probably get me to cancel Tidal. Their ultra HD is the most noticeable difference vs Tidal master quality. I believe Tidal uses MQA and Amazon does not. Hence no decoder required. Bottom line is that i was impressed with the sound quality.
Update.....
I tried to call customer support about some playlist problems and all i get is a prerecorded message telling me about my subscription. Anyone know how to get in touch with a person i can talk with?
UPDATE.....
Download problems persist and changes to the playlists cause misalignment.
However now i have occasional sound problems where some tracks sound fuzzy when you first select them to play. You need to play from the beginning for it to be fine.
Bottom line is that this app is just not worth the problems. Going to renew my subscription with TIDAL at this point.

I am definitely up for a Tidal alternative but the widespread bug issues being reported will cause me to hang tight with Tidal for a bit. Haven't used the Amazon Music UI in a bit but it was terrible a few years back.

Of course it could just be an incompatibility problem with my samsung note 8. There are so many variables that can cause problems. I would suggest that you just sign on for the usual 30 day free trail.

Paullieb213I'll wait it out, Tidal is covering my needs for now. The Amazon HD service should have the bugs shaken out in the next 6 or so months. I have a large portion of my 512gb card filled with my own High-res and Tidal downloads so carrying multiple app's downloads isn't feasible there.

Finding your groove: getting into vinyl with Audio-Technica
I’d like to think that I could’ve been friends with the late Hideo Matsushita, founder of Japanese Hi-Fi powerhouse Audio-Technica. If I could, I’d travel back in time to 1960’s Tokyo, where a young Matsushita curated “vinyl listening sessions” at the Bridgestone Museum of Arts, exposing visitors to the sounds and possibilities of high end audio and the warmth of vinyl records. I imagine sitting with him in a mod coffee shop, listening to the stories of what he witnessed in those sessions, the conversations he had with visitors, and what ultimately motivated him to head back to his small apartment above a ramen restaurant and start an audio company of his own. In the histories I’ve read regarding AT’s humble beginnings, Matsushita’s motives seem clear. Produce high end audio at affordable prices, bringing audio excellence into spaces and to customers that simply didn’t have access to it before. His first two products, the AT-1 and AT-3 phono cartridges did exactly that, and...

How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us.
