Hi all,

So I had a listen to Tidal when I got home today and I'm impressed with the quality. However, haven't had a chance to compare side by side vs Spotify yet.

I do have one MAJOR sticking point with Tidal, however. Unlike Spotify, I can't use my iPad to control the music selection and volume on my Windows 10 PC. This is HUGE, and a deal breaker for me. Is anyone aware of a third-party program that can do this?

AbeCollins,

According to Spotify's FAQ, they use 3 quality ratings for streaming, all in the Ogg Vorbis format. However, some claim that they use MP3 depending on the platform used.

~96 kbps
Normal quality on mobile.
~160 kbps
Desktop and web player standard quality.
High quality on mobile.
~320 kbps (only available to Premium subscribers)
Desktop high quality.
Extreme quality on mobile.
