Amazon Music and Bluesound Node 2i

I have used both Tidal and Amazon Music on the Node and Tidal is easier to use.  The interface is better.  Amazon HD is not as friendly and it seems as though some of the features of the Amazon Music app don’t exist in BluOS.  For me, it’s something that I have gotten used to, but I do hope that a software update will one day make Amazon Music a better BluOS experience.

I also find the sound quality to be excellent from Amazon HD in the BluOs app playing into my main 2-channel system. Try Stevie Ray Vaughan's Tin Pan Alley in HD from his Couldn't Stand The Weather album. Absolutely unbelievable sound. 

1 month into a 3 month Amazon HD trial, I'm finding a number of albums or tracks on Amazon, that play as expected in the Amazon app, but do not play at all in BlueOS.
So far, the vast majority of albums & tracks play on both the app and from BlueOS.

For example:
Grover Washington Jr, Winelight album. All/most tracks. Title track yields some static-like crackles & pops, only. Other tracks are silent.
CSNY Deja Vü track: 4+20. No sound at all.

Anyone else running in to this?

@mwinkc.. I use Amazon HD in the Bluos app also and just played 4 + 20 directly in Bluos without any problems. Also scanned through all of the songs on Winelight without problems. Both are HD files and sounded great.
I can’t say why you couldn’t play the selections. Possibly just a connection issue. Is your Node connected to a Preamp or DAC and with what type of cables?
But I would say all streaming services have glitches. A friend uses Qobuz and it has great SQ and selections but has glitches also.

I’ve been an Amazon Music HD user since it came out, but it must be said Amazon do seem to go out of their way to make it hard to get the best out of it on hi-fi gear. I do have a Heos Link HS2 feeding my Linn MDSM/4 amp and while it does sound good, as mentioned above, the Heos app is execrable.
I do use a fire tv cube to feed tracks up to 24/192 into the same amo over HDMI and while I am using the native Amazon Music app on the cube, I find the sound not as engaging as the Heos if truth be told.
When it comes to Bluesound, I’ve heard it said that it over comes some of the significant issues (well for me) in the Heos app - the lack of being able to access playlists I have compiled over the years in Amazon music, and access to music I had previously uploaded to my Amazon music library when they had that feature. Tbh, I’m still not clear from the previous posts that the Bluos app does allow me to do that though - I appreciate that third party access to AMHD may well be stifled by the minimal API that Amazon seem to make available to third parties (as an aside, Amazon seem to make it very difficult for third parties to get access to that API - Linn, the manufacturer of my amp, have had no success in the past two years and it’s “not for the want of trying” according to them).
I’m hoping that the upcoming Amazon Devices event this week announces an updated version of their Echo Link which might better support AMHD and address some of the issues all “audiophile” AMHD users have been facing since its release.
