Quick question.  Does XXHE 2.11 support searching for, and preparing, tidal playlists?

Yes ...

Search for Playlist in here :
XXHighEnd Model 2.08 - Easier Install, More Tidal, MQA Testing, SQ improved  (http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=3887.0)

Notice that you can not create Playlists within Tidal by means of XXHighEnd, but I don't think that is what you mean.

Peter,

Very cool features!! I missed this the first time the notes came out.  One further question: what happens to playlists that have a mix of Redbook and MQA tracks.  I've had a few playlists indicate errors, wondering if this mix might be the cause.  Trying some more lists as well.

The playlist feature is really amazing!!

Ramesh,

As far as I know such mixed Playlists are covered for.
I must be a little bit cautious because since the Playlists functionality was created, the MQA setup has changed somewhat;

Assumed the errors were an other kind of accident, take good notice of what the bits per second shows (in the top of the Coverart during Unattended); it would be the only measure to check whether all is correct.

Regards,
Peter

PS: Somewhere in the back of my mind I recall that a Playlist may contain "a" track, but that you in the US (me in NL) are not authorized for that track anyway. This can produce oddities (error ?). Thus, if I'd create a Tidal Playlist with Earth & Fire in it (which is Dutch - not Earth, Wind & Fire :smirk:), chances exist that this is not authorized in the US. Still (I think) the track would be loaded from the Playlist.

Peter,

The mixed playlists work.  There must be some other reason some of the playlists do not work.  By the way, the ability to just use the URL even for albums is great.  With classical albums I always had a hard time using the XXHE search.  Classical album titles, artist, etc. are completely inconsistent!
