Announcement thread LMS 8.0 - what are the differences?

Just as a "My Tidal tracks" link ?

Here's how Bubbleupnp (fantastic app, especially when used with Bubbleupnp server) shows its Tidal interface:

And in there you'd find a flat list of x thousand unsorted tracks?

Essentially, yes. That can then have individual tracks added to current playlist or play all of them, shuffled or not, for a playlist of non-stop bangers Bubbleupnp presents the list in the order you favourited the tracks, my preferred way, allows searching the list, and allows sorting the list in A-Z order. The latter is somewhat problematic since Tidal is inconsistent in track title formatting, e.g. some tracks will just have the track title, others will be preceded by a track number incorporated into the track title. Some of these tracks seem to be just floating around in Tidal somewhere, they have a track number but attempting to go to the album the track came from (which you can do from the individual track) will yield no result. Copyright issues probably, sometimes on Tidal I've seen album listings where only two or three of the tracks are playable, others greyed out, Alice Coltrane comes to mind.

Ok, I'll keep that on my list. Though this might be very service
dependant: some service might consider evey single track of any playlist
you favorited part of your track list etc.

Great, thank you. Would be great to see this in LMS.

"My Mixes", btw, in case the name is misleading, is Tidal's suggested playlists based on what you've played/favourited before, a great way to discover new music. There are three. I mainly listen to salsa, reggae and classical, and each suggested My Mix neatly corresponds to those categories. So I've found lots of great new salsa artists that way, for example. Would be fantastic to see this too.

I just checked their documentation again and couldn't find anything
about mixes.

Is there a chance that they are simply regular playlists with a special attribute or name?

"My Mixes"

Yes that's exactly what they are. So you browse/ use them the way you'd use any other playlist, ie you can play them in their entirety, or just add individual tracks etc. Clicking my mixes brings up three my mixes, based on genres you've listened to before, it's quite an impressive algorithm actually.

In official Tidal app they're under My Collection - My Mix - My Mix 1 / 2 / 3.
