Title: Tidal search not finding albums
Post by: coliny on February 19, 2021, 05:31:15 pm
There are quite a few albums on Tidal which I can't find with the XXHE search despite careful typing and trying various ways of including the * symbol.

For example:-
Artist:- Chick Corea*
Album:- *

Returns just one album but there are many on Tidal

Not sure if this is a recent issue or not.

Colin,

I have found that the best way to find albums in XXHE is to use Tidal to find the album, then copy the link, and paste it in the album search field in XXHE.

Hi Colin,

I don't know what Tidal *now* changed without notice, but this just should work (without entering the * in the Album Name). Indeed it does not now. Maybe it is for this Artist only ?

Ramesh, thank you. But do you have an idea about since when does this work better than the intended procedure ?

Thank you ...
Peter

Peter,

I have always found the copy link procedure to work better to search for Tidal albums especially for classical music.  With classical music there is no clear definition of who the artist or album is with composers, conductors, performers, etc. being organized in somewhat random fashion.

Hi Peter,

Since a couple of weeks I’m having the same problem of only one album of an artist popping up if I search for all albums.

I tried copying the link from Tidal website on to the search artist in XXHE but this turns up blank.

I wonder what’s going on.

Best regards,

Arvind

Hi Arvind

This is how I do it hasn't failed me yet:-

Select album you want to download in Tidal
Click - MORE
Click - Share
Click - COPY ALBUM LINK

In XXHE TT Search always have MQA Selection set to ALL
paste into ALBUM NAME leave other fields blank

Regards
Colin

Hi Colin,

Thank you so much. This works fine.

BTW have you figured out how to get all albums of an artist in XXHE Tidal search?

Best regards,

Arvind

Hi Arvind,

So what does *not* work fine then ? what did you actually change to let it work ? (you too said you used copy-paste from Tidal)

Thanks,
Peter

I probably made the mistake of copying the link for artist search. Not album link.

Hi Peter,

So for the time being we continue to copy/paste the link for an album from Tidal website.

XXHE search for artist or album yields unpredictable results.

Best regards,

Arvind

Arvind,

Is "unpredictable" a new issue ?

Hi Peter,

Oh yes. Earlier you could get all albums of an artist. Now you invariably get one album(not necessarily the one you are looking for).

Best regards,

Arvind

Thank you Arvind. I think that was the known issue. I will hopefully solve this tomorrow.

Peter

Hi Peter,

Just out of curiosity, could you manage to solve the search issues in Tidal through XXHE.

Best regards,

Arvind

Hi Arvind,

Yes, that should be fairly easy. But the point at this moment is that I already started working on the 16/44.1 MQA issues. So if I undo those changes (where I ran a kind of stuck in) then it should be easy. So maybe I should do that ...

Best regards,
Peter
