Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming Sooloos v2.449 Experiences (Post Update)

I figured I'd start this thread to collect experiences of those who have completed the 2.449 update that brings TIDAL integration.

After updating I was prompted to apply a Control:Mac update. Adding a TIDAL account was not a problem. I did have to create a new TIDAL account as I couldn't see a quick way to apply the 90 day trial voucher to an existing (lapsed) trial account I've had for a few months.

My quick take

- TIDAL streaming smooth so far
- I've noticed some playlists under TIDAL > Moods. They seem to mirror what's visible in the TIDAL app itself
- A couple of minor bugs have been fixed. e.g. before one couldn't search for anything with an apostrophe in it.
- the capitalized characters that follow any character with a diacritical mark are now fixed
- I need to get used to the predominantly inverted color scheme (white on black)

Minor improvements I was hoping for (besides the "ground up rewrite" of Sooloos) but aren't fixed:

- Core Control doesn't remember where you are in your collection of albums in Browse mode if you leave the app
- The review tab doesn't preserve newlines or other formatting
- The list of Genres shown when you choose to Edit Genres from the Core Control browse screen is randomly ordered. Mine starts with Reggae.

New bugs (some minor) I've found so far:

- As I pointed out here , the Sooloos iOS app doesn't apply any order to tags under the Swim function (see screen shot below)
- For album sets, the text "1 OF 2 IN SET" under the album art in detail view is in a font that doesn't work well on a black background. I suspect it's the font that was used on the old background
- The Album detail screen says No Pick Tracks even if the album has them



Update: this just went away. I can now play pick tracks again. Not sure what changed, but I'm glad I made a screenshot

Tags shown under Swim seems randomly ordered:

In Core Control for iPad they are alphabetically ordered.
