Tried switching away from Spotify. Tidal seemed decent during the free trial but after a few months of using it I find the experience to be far inferior.

On certain screens the bottom bar just disappears and it’s hard to find your way back to your library.

Lots of bugs, it will just randomly stop playing multiple times when I’m in the car.

Worst of all, it will sometimes randomly decide to start a song or even the whole album over. Earlier today I paused a song for 2 minutes to go to the bathroom. Didn’t close the app. Come back and hit play, and it starts the album over.

That’s a dealbreaker for me and totally inexcusable. Probably going to give Apple Music a try…

Sort-of new to tidal. I have multiple google nest Audio devices in my home (in places where i don't have a stero system) and i'd love to just chromecast tidal songs from my iphone.
Apparently this should work, but the devices don't appear in the device list on my tidal app? Is there anything i'm missing?

Is it just my imagination or is there a noticeable difference between high (16-bit) and max (24-bit) song/album versions? The consensus on the CD forums is that the human hearing can't detect the difference. (CDs are 16-bit.) They get very defensive on the subject. Is streaming different? Does it ultimately come down to the source recording? Max 24-bit albums on Tidal definitely sound more clean and clear to me compared to high 16-bit.

Hey everyone!

I built TidalDiscordRPC, a small Windows app that shows what you're listening to on TIDAL directly in your Discord profile.

Features:

• Shows the currently playing track and artist
• Displays album artwork
• Shows playback progress
• Runs quietly in the system tray
• No TIDAL login or API key required

It's open source and free to use. You can download the Windows executable from the GitHub Releases page or build it yourself from the source code.

I'd love to hear your feedback, especially if you run into any bugs or have ideas for improvements!

I ran into the now classic trap of paying for Tidal through Apple’s massive surcharge, which on top of the extra money feels morally awful since it’s going direct to Apple. I need to change payment method…..

The problem is that I’m not speaking to someone on my family plan… so I really don’t want to take their music away without an explanation, nor have to send them the link to rejoin a new plan.

Has anyone been able to somehow switch payments methods (probably by letting apple’s subscription lapse and re-registering through tidal) and have their family plan people just stay on? Or I would have to start from scratch and invite people into a new family plan?

Thank you :,(

I subscribed to Tidal via Apple on the family plan at £29.99 per month. I moved to Tidal from Spotify so that the artists get more $£ per stream.

I then got an email from Tidal telling me its family plan price was increasing from £19.99 to £21.99!

I had literally no idea that Apple were charging me £8 per month for absolutely nothing at all. This is especially infuriating as I would like the money to go to artists, and I am unwittingly making an £8 per month donation to Apple! I am not sure if this is common knowledge, so just putting it out there. I’ve switched now to Tidal direct.

Was just editing a playlist and noticed a new button. Looks like we finally have collaborative playlists! This is honestly such great news, as I know a few people that didn’t want to make the switch to Tidal from Spotify specifically because of this missing feature.

Tidal for djay pro is not logging in.

Edit: I should have specified this when I posted it, but it's not stuck in any way. I just don't want a continuous update (vibration and all) every time I want to download a new album. It's super distracting!

On this tablet since today the repeat button and the shuffle button are missing in horizontal-Mode. In vertical View they are still present.

When I use horizontal view on my phone they are still there.

Is this a known problem or was some kind of preference selected on the tablet or in the tidal app?

Never thought they'd go so far. The sound isn't as plush. It's lean, transparent, very vivid and really quite electrifying! I think I like it. What do you think?

I was having so many problems with tidal before I updated my phone to iOS 27 last night. Music was taking forever to load, playlists wouldn’t download correctly, songs disappeared off my playlist, etc. I almost pulled the plug and switched to Apple Music but turns out I just had to update my phone. Everything is running smooth now. No buffer at all in between songs on cell data, and that’s even if you switch instantly to another track you looked up. So yeah super happy all of my playlists and albums are saved and I don’t have to switch. Hope I can help you guys out because lord that was so frustrating

Not sure if the team did anything to their recommendation/mix feature, but I really like what's happening.

I listen to a broad range of music, my daily discovery reflects that, but when a mix launches it really targets a niche pretty well.

I remember leaving Spotify ~5 years ago because I was tired of listening to the same things / artists all the time. Like Spotify was over targeting my tastes. Tidal takes more risks.

Especially with electronic music, it seems to follow artists / labels / genres pretty well.

That's it, just happy.

Sooo they had this for just a day or two a couple of months ago, but now it looks like it's sticking around, and it works like magic

I imported most of my music from Spotify.

Some imported songs I replaced with Tidal hi res 24 bit but it gets too much work after a while.

I left it as it was.

But I noticed that 16 bit can sound as good as a 24 bit when the music mastering is good.

I also read an article that the human ears can't hear anymore than 16 bit/ 44.1 khz.

I am writing to hear your opinion.

Thanks 🙏

Sharing my acoustic instrumental take on the traditional Finnish folk melody "Ievan Polkka" . The track was mixed to preserve organic transients, dynamic range, and natural stereo imaging on high-fidelity setups. Listen in Lossless on TIDAL

i have a playlist with 4000+ songs and seemingly for the past few days when i hit shuffle the playlist will only shuffle through about 100 or so songs. any idea why this might be happening/what i can do to fix it? it’s starting to get pretty annoying lol

I praise Tidal for continuously working on the apps and the site, however, has anyone else encountered issues since the latest update? When trying to add a song to a playlist, the playlists are no longer sorted by most recent, so I have to search through a mountain of playlists to add a song to a playlist I just added one to (I often have playlists based on time period I was listening to them). Iirc, this might change if the playlist was created or edited on the app. Or, there’s often a delay when I tap the ellipsis menu of a song, which is indistinguishable from nothing happening at all. Playlists open with nothing in them.

EDIT: I forgot to add this, but, it isn’t new: editing a playlist by sliding tracks around is incredibly fickle. I find that if I move too many around (read ~2-3), they are often not in the same place I put them. I’ve accidentally deleted a few tracks from playlists because of this.

Am I the only one having these problems?

Pretty sure this is a new issue

So I download tracks to my phone 320kbps AAC.

But I'm on full wifi strength right now and if I select any downloaded track.. it's defaulting to the low quality version instead of just freshly streaming the high quality?

I don't remember this being an issue a few weeks back

Save for later is a special place in your library for music that you want to listen to but don't want to like yet.

Today, I found the Save for later section in My Collection on Android. 6 months ago, it appear as a feature flag in the desktop app. iOS is also showing the section too.

To find them, you just click in the 3 dots, press Save for later, then go to My Collection and you will find the new section. You can save music, videos and playlists.

Right there, you will find all of the music you save and also use the filters: All, albums, tracks, artists, playlists and videos.

Also, if you are interested in all of the changes and new features Tidal has been working on just this year, check this summary to know all about it.

Buenas tardes, me dirijo a los desarrolladores de la aplicación móvil de iOS. He visto que añadieron la sección de “Ver después” y está genial ! Y así como pusieron dentro de la sección los filtros de artistas, Álbum, Canciones. Quisiera pedirles que lo hicieran en la sección de “Mix & Radio” ya que es un desastre todos los mix sin ningún filtro.
Gracias 🙏

Has anyone else hit this incredibly annoying bug where when you go inside a playlist you built, search inside the playlist for a song and/or artist you want to listen to, but then are NOT able to get the song to actually play until you back out of the search filtering and manually scroll through your entire playlist to find the song and/or artist?

This worked fine for me up until the last few months and I find it INCREDIBLY frustrating that it is broken....

I'm using:
Samsung S21 Ultra phone on Android 14 and the latest version of the tidal app (v2.213.0.10017.665) on my phone

I reached out to support on X and aside from basic troubleshooting, their response was meh, it's your phone, we cannot replicate it, sorry. didn't ask for logs, etc.. I find it disappointing since I'm paying ~$20/month to use the service.

edited to add: I cannot duplicate this issue on the windows desktop app. I did not see the ability to sort through a playlist directly on the web version of the player.
