When I try it for a month, the worst part.. your entire download queue fails forever unless you manually remove hundreds of items one by one

There is no way to remove the stuck item if it's been pull from streaming library or you in country that -- such traveling etc -- does not have r ights to it. You simply cannot open the track to undownload it

Also tried Tidal once with their trial, tried playing some music videos and it was just straight up blurry throughout. Not once did the music video played HD.
