For Failed 4003, it's caused by the insufficient disk space. Please also try to free up some space on the output path of NoteBurner.

Failed 4106 means the output file is too large to save into your FAT disk. Please choose another output path and do not select your FAT disk.

After April 10, 2024, Tidal (in the United States) has removed the Free plan. Instead, they're offering a 30-day trial where you can listen to up to 1000 songs.

In other words, if you try to download more than 1000 songs from a Tidal trial account using NoteBurner, it won't work and cause Failed 6105.

Please choose to convert songs from the "Tidal web player", then also select "WebPlayer Download" in the setting window. After this, NoteBurner will convert your Tidal songs at up to 10X faster speed.

Cause: No audio-output device installed on your device, and your Tidal songs fail to play.

Solution: Make sure your computer connect with the audio-output device successfully. Then try to start playing a song on Tidal app. Once the music songs can be played properly, start conversion on NoteBurner.
