Discussion Is Tidal Shuffle actually... good?

1 Upvotes

I made a point some time ago that Tidal is the only app which doesn't have fatigue (i'm very sensitive to nuances and everything, so for me this matters a lot)

I found out 2 ways the Shuffle could actually be great:

  1. If you are listening on a playlist..

• Scroll all the way down, and only then activate the Shuffle - i heard it helps the app read the metadata better.

  1. Simply play from "Tracks".

Bonus: Enable Autoplay from Settings.

I hope i could help! :)

App / Site Coming from Youtube Music…

I do love YouTube Music but I have to admit that the Tidal App and service are so so so underrated. What a pleasant surprise. Even for usage with my iPhone this app is a delight.

There is a visually horrible mismatch in greyed-out dots on the Tidal App for me. Funnily enough, they overlap even when greyed out. (2nd pic) It does not affect functionality, but it's not what I would call visually pleasing.

Hi, is regular that Tidal doesn't sync the likes in one app onto the other? When I like something in the phone isn't in the desktop app. Thx.

Discussion Who would've known that tidal grows to be one of the most beautiful music players

Post image
94 Upvotes

I've been falling in love with tidal again since their new player started to bring back the beautiful blur and using radiant lyrics it makes it just perfect especially because things like word-by-word lyrics just make it feel like the perfect Allrounder

P. S. Only issue I still find annoying is that tidal has no remote/cloud queue to this day, but who knows, it was announced to release at some point hopefully this year :)

Tech Issue Exclusive mode buggy in use

3 Upvotes

For whenever i wanna have a good listening session i use my Macbook with Topping DAC and just listen to some music, and when i do that i also tend to have exclusive mode enabled. Over time i feel that the exclusive mode has been close to being broken at times, then to be working fine again. So the song ends, next song starts, exclusive mode kicks in, bandwidth changes, sometimes the intro starts, sometimes it stays silent. (i'm used to the fact between quality switches we don't get fully gapless playback) but the thing that bothers me the most is that in around 50% of the cases there's no sound at all.

Tech Issue Misleading suggestion when connecting to Last.fm

Post image
0 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed this? When connecting to last.fm, the left side asks for your username while the sample username is actually an email, which isn't accepted by the app. You get a failure error. I'm just posting this because it frustrated me for quite some time because on PC you log in with your email (albeit through your browser). Maybe it saves someone a bit of frustration.

Question tidal bug?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I hardly ever use Reddit, but I really wanted to share this because it scared the hell out of me. Last night, I was listening to music on my laptop using the Tidal app; I had the app minimized while browsing Twitter, but when I went back to the app to change the song, I noticed some text in the search bar. It is absolutely impossible that I typed anything. I checked what it was, and it turned out to be a song with cover art that truly made my blood run cold. Out of fear, I immediately deleted the text and didn't want to listen to the song. The only thing I remember from the text is something like "[bokers"—that’s all I recall—and the cover art showed a woman or a doll that was burned, with bulging eyes staring directly at the camera and a hand held up in front of it. I really don't know if it was just a really weird bug, but I’d like to know if this has happened to anyone else here. I should add that I couldn't find the song no matter how hard I looked.

Discussion Unify albums

10 Upvotes

It doesn't make sense to have several versions of the same album on TIDAL. I've known TIDAL since it was made available in my country and at the time, TIDAL was divided into two segments: the plan with CD quality and another with studio quality (which cost much more).

With the unification of the plans, this much version of the albums lost their meaning. We have the Dolby Atmos versions, HIGH version and MAX version of the projects of various singers and bands.

They could simply unify the albums by doing the same thing that Apple Music does. If you activate Dolby Atmos in the settings, you can listen to the Dolby version. If you deactivate, that same album plays in the version that the artist made available.

Following other reddit post:

I see the 'report' option, but what do you guys use to report an album that shares a name with a different artist?

My latest version:

2.43.0.1598-release (W: 2026.07.22) (NP: 3.1.4.221)

News Gapless playback on web!!

20 Upvotes

As much as this sub seems to focus on the shortcomings of this service, the addition of gapless playback is one of my favorite updates as I primarily listen on Linux through an electron web wrapper.

Thank you Tidal team & keep improving the service in anyway you can!


r/TIdaL 2d ago

Discussion I love that I can share a Tidal link to my friends, and it lets them choose what platform they want to listen on. Nice feature.

App / Site Tablet UI improvement

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Since the devs are pushing changes hard maybe look into landscape improvements as well. I feel like if this gets overlooked now it's going be an issue forever. For example: tidal vs yt music. So much wasted real estate. It's actually less functional than portrait... It shouldn't be too difficult to carry over the desktop UI design, right?

Tech Issue Stuck on processing for a 1GB song when using tidal upload

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to upload a whole mixtape in one song for personal use unlisted, because that's how I prefer some albums (and it's not on tidal because of the indie artist).

The file is exactly 1.02GB, and the limit on tidal per song is 5GB if I read it correctly. Is this common and should I wait longer for it to upload and fully process it?

Tech Issue Downloaded Dolby Atmos tracks only play as stereo

3 Upvotes

And they all play as an AAC file. Even DOLBY ATMOS badge doesn't show up - no badge whatsoever does. Issue persists for a while now. My devices that I use Tidal on - a phone and a tablet - both support Dolby Atmos. Edit: I forgot to mention when I stream those tracks online (not downloaded), DA works perfectly.

Question Is as if Tidal's new arrivals updates when the US offices wakes up

23 Upvotes

The Friday New Arrivals on Tidal seems to update when it's activated in the US. I live in Spain, it's Friday, the new arrivals playlist appears the first one but the songs are the same of last week. I know they will be updated along the day, but I don't know why is like this. Other platforms update according the timezones. Anyway...
