i switched from spotify to tidal recently

and here are some things i wish people mentioned while i was researching different streaming platforms

• you can’t control whats playing on one device with another (ie. im playing a song on my phone, but i cant skip that same song by using tidal on my laptop) (i think you can with something called tidal connect but thats a whole other thing you also have to pay for)
• there is no listening history unless its part of the original playlist queue, which disappears after the playlist is finished or you play a new playlist (ok i was sorta wrong about this, there is a recently played on the homepage but you cant see order of songs played in a playlist)
• you cant listen to any songs with swear words in them unless you manually disable it in the settings ’,:/
• if you close the app while listening to a song, the song will start from the beginning when you reopen app
• in the search function, you cant clear individual searches — you either clear everything you searched and played, or nothing
• if you go to an artists page, there will be an indicator that youre following them or not, but not whether you have any of their songs in your liked tracks
• thats another thing: you’re liked songs playlist (if transferred from spotify) go to the Tracks folder (it took me so long to find it lmao)
• you can’t transfer playlists that you didnt create, so i had to duplicate a bunch of playlists just to do that
• once you finish listening to a playlist, instead of playing suggested songs based on the whole playlist, it will play songs similar to the last song you listened to on that playlist
• there is no ‘lyrics match’ function in the search bar. ive taken to searching up lyrics of songs i dont know on spotify, then playing those songs on tidal to see if its the right song
• a few songs simply dont exist on tidal when they do on spotify, but at least during the transfer process, it will let you know
• i definitely think the search function isnt as good as spotifys unfortunately
• layout wonky :(
• you cant swipe to next song unless you have the song full screen (if that makes sense??) (like it shows the song playing at bottom of screen on app, but you cant swipe to skip unless its clicked to full screen)
• the downloading of a playlist is kinda finicky ive found? like sometimes it works just fine and other times i have to keep tidal open and on the download queue or else it just wont?? not sure if thats a me problem or not

lets just say its taking some getting used to

im so horrified and confused and i hate ai because i think thats the only reasonable explanation for whats happening?

so im listening to alright by parenthetical girls on spotify and noticed the lyrics were off. like way off. not a single correct verse. a whole different song. thought hm thats weird. reports it and looks up these new lyrics. points me to alright by tamela mann. ok thats alright human error they mustve mistaken the artist or something. listens to alright by tamela mann. the lyrics are wrong. what the fuck?

and these are meant to be professionals that review whether or not you can be trusted to submit accurate lyrics

i can only assume that someone did a fuckass job of researching lyrics and only read the ai summary instead of listening to the actual song because how do you mess up this badly

alright parenthetical girls lyrics are supplied by musixmatch and its wrong, and then genius says that those wrong lyrics are from alright tamela mann and its ALSO WRONG

and i still have no clue what lyrics these are from

this is not alright by parenthetical girls. this not alright by tamela mann. who the fuck wrote this. (because it kinda slaps ngl???)

Souls Laid Bare by opinionion

Summary:

After surviving the Killing Curse for the second time and ending the war by killing Voldemort, Harry knew that his life was going to change. He had willfully hoped for the better, hoped that he’d feel better. But he doesn’t.

He barely feels anything at all. Most days, he simply floats through life, like a ghost of his former self, forever trapped and unsatisfied. Stuck in the past while everybody else moves forward. All because of that little sliver of a soul, once attached to Harry’s own, that ripped apart his whole world when he left it in that place between existing and nothing. When he killed it.

Sue him, he’d gotten attached to the little thing. He misses it.

He wants it back.

Is that really so bad, to want it back— to do whatever it takes to do so?

its a harrymort fanfiction that starts after the war ends, includes some good ol time-travel master of death fuckery, a lot of introspection, angst, and worldbuilding
