In my case, it's not the Search. They just aren't there!.......

I've tried searching by album etc. --- And as far as I'm concerned the sound quality is on par with Spotify.

How do you know they aren't there? - Ivan303 08:36:39 11/07/14 (7)
Could be they ARE there, but you just can't find them!
- I searched by Album Name, Artist etc.......... - Cut-Throat 08:39:53 11/07/14 (6)
  How would you go about finding them? But, you're right, if their indexing is screwed up and the albums are there, you might not be able to find it.

  - I go to Amazon, find what I'm looking for... - Ivan303 13:05:44 11/07/14 (5)
    Then enter every key word I can find on the Amazon site until I get a hit.
    - I understand if you are searching classical......... - Cut-Throat 13:10:02 11/07/14 (4)
      But I'm looking for things that are just not complicated. Here is my favorite album (Which I have a hardcopy of) on Amazon. It is on Spotify, but I can't find it on TIDAL. The more artists I look for, the more disappointed I am. Their Library is much more meager than Spotify or MOG was.

        Must not be very good. ;-)
        
        OK, but you can buy it used on Amazon for $2.50, there's that.
        
        It is on Spotify and was on MOG............... - Cut-Throat 04:32:32 11/08/14 (2)

        And like I said, I already own it. But this was only one example, I am finding dozens more. Almost every Artist I search for has far fewer albums.
        If this is indeed the case, TIDAL is a 'no-go' for me.

        That is a function of the search algorithm, or perhaps just the way they display results.
        
        Search "Leonard Bernstein" on TIDAL and you get 30 results only! 1400+ on QOBUZ!
        
        Now we know there are more that 30 Bernstein titles on TIDAL because we can search "Leonard Bernstein Beethoven" and get... 30 titles!
        
        I have complained a couple times and go no reply. Met one of the European executives of TIDAL at their room at RMAF last month so I should email him directly and see if I get a response.
        
        Gotta find his card, if I even bothered to get one.
        
        I've dug deeper than just the search........... - Cut-Throat 12:29:19 11/08/14 (0)

        I understand perfectly on why you are having this problem on Classical. The albums I'm looking for just aren't there!!!
        
        Here is another one of my favorites on Spotify and MOG
