Tidal via Spark iOS - "data not Available"

[martinskeem]

I agree with a lot of Spark criticism, but Spark behaves in this regard like all other mass market streaming products, that I have seen over the past 10-15 years (Sonos, Heos, Bluenode, Squeezebox, Spotify Connect and most others). If Devialet wanted spark to stop playing upon exit, they would have made it so - it would, as you point out, be dead simple to do, but not what most people expect.

Just use Bluetooth and JRiver - you will get exactly what you are after
