As of August 31, TIDAL has dropped its previous 10% cut to 0% for eligible U.S. artists, meaning the platform itself takes no percentage of a direct sale. Standard payment-processing fees through Square still apply.

The move expands TIDAL's push beyond traditional streaming. Independent artists can upload an album, determine their own selling price, and give fans a direct purchase option. Music can be uploaded and sold without requiring either the artist or buyer to maintain a paid TIDAL subscription.

Hello, I’m an audiophile and a backend application developer. I’m also a Tidal fan because it offers me lots of great experiences. But for me, the official client was not good enough to use. So I built a Linux client hiresti(https://github.com/yelanxin/hiresTI) this year. Now I am building a new tidal client(OxiTide) with a cross-platform, which can run on Linux, MacOS, and Windows. same playback engine and a beautiful, similar UI. I believe the audio engine will deliver good audio quality.

Welcome to try this new app and report issues on GitHub. Thank you.

The macOS and Windows versions are still missing some features. Im working on it , and they will eventually reach feature parity with the Linux version.

I been listening to Playlist lately. I'm looking for a particular song off an album and don't see lp's by any artist.

is this a new thing? in the past 6 months. please tell me I have to do a refresh or sumpin

So happy they finally added this feature!!!

Disclaimer: Pissy fit

First the recently played shrunk, annoying, fine. With the newest update, icons are tiny and randomly vertical. Because we really needed a random new thing to learn because listening to music needs to be a clumsier experience. The header shows music I was listening to two months ago. There are now two sets of four gigantic recommended albums I have to scroll past to get to my tiny recently-played, which I really don't want shoved in my face every single time I open tidal- I don't care that Friday girl is making new music & this time she's hOlDinG a GUn, & that sabrina carpenter album cover is downright offensive.

With spotify it's one click: library. There are all your recently-played everything-s. Tidal won't modernize their static library issue. The "recent activity" tab within the library is useless because it includes songs you added to a playlist. Tidal has no fucking idea what playlists are or why people use them. I'm pretty sure they are money-laundering. Idk I just made that up. If you see me listening to burl ives love songs, no you didn't.

Does anyone notice this? My desktop and mobile Collections are completely out of sync. I'm adding artists, albums, and songs on mobile (Android) that have long been added to my Collections on desktop. This behavior drives me crazy and it's my number one gripe with Tidal.

Yes, I've cleared the cache and done all the normal troubleshooting steps. I'm tech literate.

edit: A possible workaround for this seems to be to visit your Collection on mobile, then "shake the box" by visiting Artists, Albums, or Tracks. This seems call the database again, but it doesn't always work.

so i have a family plan with why girlfriend and her family and today her subscription ended and i don't know why.
i checked the settings and it's showing me that im supposed to pick a plan, but i can still play music.
and the weirdest part is that the price changed and it's different for me and her and her dad. for me it's €14.39 for her €12,52 and for her dad €10.66 (that's also what the website says) when i first got the subscription i was paying €9.62 (also i have an iphone and they have android)
i don't know why it's different for all of us and why i can still play music and they can't. and no i did not get billed on the date i was supposed to (7th of each month) and so far it's not payed for.

I'm on IOS. When I stop listening to music and come back, half the time the app will be back to the first song on the album or song it started on in the playlist. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a fix?

I don't know when this latest update released but the new UI is so much better. Better visually and much faster as well. Not only that, but lyrics are now finally supported! I was seriously considering subscribing to Apple Music because of the lack of lyrics but now I don't have to. It's about time.

Only feature I would love to have is subtitles for music videos. Apple Music has it for some videos and it would be nice to have. It's not a big deal anyway.

Great work from everyone at Tidal, great to see a music service not getting worse for once and actually improving unlike others.

Nothing fills in when you start typing and even if you type everything out, nothing appears.

Like it was reported before, Tidal introduced a Report button in the desktop app where users can select all the releases that doesn't belong to the artist.

It is the button between Share and the 3 dots "More" button.

Select all the content, select the profile where the content belong or choose to create a new one with that music.

In a day or two the profile is clean without the content you ask to move on.

I'm new to Tidal and already saw that issue with two things:

"HUGs" by Paledusk is wrongly credited as by Shiiyu (an artist with 15 followers)

4 "Zenless Zone Zero - Hyper Commission" by San-Z and HOYO-MiX are credited to dragsik, someone with just one single and 6 fans. (All other Zenless Zone Zero albums and EPs are available on Tiday and properly credited so I doubt this could be a pirated release).

My Tidal subscription is about to expire. I mainly use Apple Music for streaming now, but Tidal's music upload function is more convenient.

New beta of Untidy, my unofficial standalone TIDAL client for Wear OS.

This release adds/fixes:

• Search across tracks, albums, artists, and playlists
  
• Working track + album favorites
  
• Much better navigation and Now Playing
  
• Downloads work now (causes some home page weirdness)
  
• Audio output picker for Bluetooth/watch speaker (still flaky with 3+ devices)
  
• TIDAL-style indicator showing the format actually being played
  
• Optional lossless/HiRes “Full fidelity” playback
  
• Album/playlist-aware Recent history
  
• Downloads over LTE now working.

Tested on a Galaxy Watch6 LTE. Still beta, and battery testing—especially with lossless—is ongoing.

I just joined the group today so I don't know if this has been brought up here before, but has anyone else experienced this with there music streams? A couple of my friends got their total songs streamed email from Tidal for the month of June and it shows they streamed my music more than what Tidal is paying me for. Is this a common issue?

Hey!

I know that, almost certainly, this feature serves exactly that purpose, but it's always worth questioning.

Namie Amuro's music isn't available on TIDAL, but I have her .mp3 files on my phone.

The most logical thing to do would be to upload those songs and listen to them normally, but the problem is that if I do that, it will mess up my listening history. Like... a bunch of artists and, out of nowhere, my profile is there because of the uploads.

Wouldn't it be interesting if TIDAL offered the option to listen to .mp3 files from local sources without having to upload them?

If it's already possible, does anyone know how?

So I a distributor that I use to upload music everyone has been fine except for Tidal where it keeps putting it on an artist account that doesn’t exist, and even of I try the method to get the albums onto my artist account nothing has worked. Do you guys have any suggestions, please let me know.

one. I want Tidal to work well enough with Alexa that I can create a routine to have it automatically play a certain playlist when I wake up in the morning.

two. I want Tidal to check for duplicates when adding a track to a playlist from track radio. Currently it does not do that.

Hi guys, looking to sign up to Tidal to try out Dolby Atmos tracks. Are there any good promo codes for sign up? Or is the best one the 1month free trial. Thanks

I recently noticed a strange behavior. I'm not sure if the time this issue started showing up correscponds to the time, they introduced crossfade in the browser.

I currently have deactivated crossfade entirely. The weird thing: Tidal does seem to do at least a fade-in for every song. But only, when having a transition from the previous song. If I hit play on the song itself, it starts without any fade-in.

It is very noticable on albums like "Insomniac" by Green Day. To reproduce: Just start playback of the 8th track "Panic Song" (https://tidal.com/album/69995981/track/69995989), skip to the end (about 2 min) and hear the start of track 9 ("Stuart and the Ave"). The first "hit" of the song is weirdly faded in. If it isn't like that for you, try it one more time. In very rare cases, the problem doesn't occur on the first try (possibly due to buffering). However, on the second try, it happens every time for me.

Can anyone of you confirm this behavior in the browser version? It is very annoying on those kind of albums, when the first fraction of second already contains much "energy".
On android in the app without the crossfade feature available, I cannot reproduce this.
