Tidal is a subscription-based music and video streaming platform. As a user of Tidal, you have access to over 80 million songs, over 250,000 high-definition music videos as well as enjoy the exclusive content provided by artists. Tidal’s free tier is unlike to Spotify. It will not carry advertisements. But you still have some limits. For example, the feature of connecting to the 350K+ videos is only available on the HiFi (lossless Hi-Fi sound quality) or HiFi Plus (MQA) subscription.
The offline listening feature is also indispensable. Like the other famous and popular music streaming services, Tidal offers the offline feature which allows subscribers to download music within the app for offline listening. However, what differs from the other services is that the download feature is only available on the Tidal mobile app. That means you can download Tidal tracks via the Tidal app installed on your Android or iOS phone but cannot do that on your computer. Under this circumstance, you need to look for a new way to download the music. In this article, you will know a professional Tidal music converter and learn a practical way to download Tidal music to your computer.
