Hi pedal,
Yeah, well, I like to stay neutral on this.
Something else is that being in Administration not necessarily is a negative thing. It is merely a protective matter which is temporary until "things get solved". Which things ? in this case the money funder who disappeared while money is required. "Don't spend too much for now" etc.
What I don't know is whether that funder was also an investor (thus, someone who makes money over the lending of money after buying himself out). If that is so, there is only (much) more money for MQA at this moment. Still it would require Administration or something like that.
The constructions within MQA ltd are quite vague. Example : most investors will receive (or have received) shares of MQA. That is all air. So when all is unwound (MQA Ltd is quit) those shares have a value. And if *then* there is no funder hence no money, people may get angry here and there. And those people are quite big names.
Of course we know how good MQA (Bob et al) is at story telling. So it would require careful observation of what really is the matter.
Best regards for now,
Peter

BREAKING TIDAL CEO, Jesse Dorogusker, today made the following announcement on an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit: "we will be introducing hi-res FLAC for our HiFi Plus subscribers soon. It's lossless and an open standard". ------------ Till now, TIDAL offered Red Book resolution as FLAC, and Hi-Rez resolution as MQA. Adding FLAC as an Hi-Rez option will be the nail in the MQA-coffin. LINK: https://www.reddit.com/r/TIdaL/comments/12hr68f/ama_w_jesse_tidal/ |

Hi Tore,
I have been working on something on and off, and it is in the stage of CoverArt not wanting to show.
When I see a minute, I am working on it.
Regards,
Peter

That's great news Peter! I don't mind getting cover art in a different way as long as I can have access to Tidal again. Best, David |
