    It’s only premium though. Same quality as Spotify,

    Well in theory you can upgrade to HiFi for loosing 50% of that free time but there are several people (including me) where the 50% was not deducted.

    :rolleyes::rolleyes: then you're clueless in that case.
    Spotify is free.
    My case in point related to the streaming quality which more intelligent users picked up on.
    I'll dumb my post down for you in future.

    So if Spotify is FREE as you say, why are there loads of members here looking for bargain streaming offers?
    Nothing to do with the horrible 160Kbps quality and annoying ads I guess?

    OH,
    No need to dumb down anything to do with music quality or related topics for me.
    I am well qualified in that area thank you.

    I called you a tosser and you were being a sarcastic knob instead of explaining that the basic free Spotify plan was only 160kb and included ads.
    I knew ads were included in the free version but not the lower quality,
    If you had explained that first instead of your sarcastic rolly emojis I would have thanked your answer and stood corrected.
    End of story. Accept it and move on.

    Anyway my issue seems to be on the Revolut side. Cannot even sign up on the UK site.
    Must follow up with support tomorrow and see what the story is.

    So,
    I am the Tosser
    I am the Sarcastic Knob.

    Yet you are the one to call me those name while telling me I am clueless to streaming quality which more intellegent users would pick up on?

    Quite obvious YOU are not included in that list.;)

    I found a particular balm to this wound of not being able to get cheap Tidal was to sign up to YouTube premium via Argentina. There is a music app you can download with a ‘high quality’ audio option.

    a mate tried the turkey route and it worked using urban vpn.
    Testing it for me now with my revolut card. if it still happens its definitely an issue on the revolut side but they claim they have no records of any attempted payments.

    Funny you mention this. I had a similar issue with my revolut when using it through PayPal.
    The solution was to change the IBAN.
    I had the IBAN still set to the GB on my revolut account and everything was getting rejected but not appearing or showing in revolut at all. Maybe worth a look.

    thanks..I don't see how you can change the IBAN? Mine starts with LT.
    Oh yeah the migration. Must ask the mate if he;'s still GB.

    Thanks OP. Worked for me yesterday. However when I invite family members to join the request to join are in Turkish. Should I have kept Hola open while sending invites? They are reluctant to join in case they can only get Tidal in Turkish.

    That's normal. Sign up and then pick English as language.

    Go to Amazon US, register an account using some random address from Google. Then set up echo using it. Make sure your location is also US in devices in anaxon., sometimes it picks up Ireland.

    Sorry for digging up an old one but would love to get this working. Set up a US amazon account no issue. Set up a new alexa account using that same email address. When I go to link a music streaming service, Spotify is the only option. Put in a fake US location into alexa app, changed time zone, even ran the alexa app through hola vpn with us location enabled. Still only spotify available to link in music services.

    Any idea what I'm missing?

    Common issue. Go into your amaxon account, devices and then region. Your region is prob set to UK or IRL even though it's a .com account.

    No sorry should have mentioned that I made sure that was US already. That's in the content and devices menu, then preferences yes?

    Thanks any mate. I reset my echo in case that was a factor. No joy though. Think I'm done unless anyone else has cracked this.

    Have u added tidal as a skill ie link new music service? It won't appear on music list until you do that.
    Failing that, get onto chat and tell them your US account won't show tidal

    Thanks for help man. Finally managed to do it by using a desktop and going to alexa.amazon.com. Couldn't get it to work on my phone for some reason. All sorted now. Cheers!

    Has anyone had problems paying their sub by revolut? Got an email saying the payment failed. It was via a virtual card. I updated it with the real card details. No word since.
