Tidal, a popular music streaming service, offers a vast library of songs, albums, and playlists for music enthusiasts to enjoy. Similar to Spotify, Tidal also provides an option for offline listening, allowing users to download their favorite albums and playlists. Whether you're preparing for a long journey or find yourself in an area without a stable internet connection, having your music available offline can be a lifesaver. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to download albums and playlists from Tidal, enabling both Tidal subscribers and Tidal Free users to enjoy their favorite music offline without an internet connection.
Downloading music for offline listening is a feature exclusive to Tidal HiFi and Tidal HiFi Plus subscribers. Tidal Free users do not have access to offline downloads.
Step 1 Open the Tidal app on your computer and log in to your account.
Step 2 Browse or search for the album or playlist you want to download.
Step 3 Once you've found the album or playlist, tap on it to open its page.
Step 4 Look for and tap on the Download button.
Step 5 The album or playlist will start downloading to your device.
Tidal song downloads can only be listened to within the Tidal app. These downloads are not saved as separate files on your device, and they cannot be accessed or played on other music apps.
Tidal HiFi and HiFi Plus plans enable you to download up to 10,000 lossless quality songs per device connected to your Tidal account.
To continue accessing your downloaded content, you need to go online and validate your Tidal subscription at least once every 30 days. If you remain offline for longer than 30 days, your downloads will expire, and you will need to re-download them when you go online again.
Downloaded content on Tidal is tied to your subscription. If your Tidal subscription ends or is not renewed, you will lose access to your downloaded songs and albums. To maintain access, ensure that your subscription remains active.
If you uninstall the Tidal app or reinstall it on a device, your downloaded content will be removed. You will need to re-download the songs or albums after reinstalling the app.
Tidal allowed offline downloads on up to five devices, including mobile phones and tablets, but the desktop app does not have a "download" option currently.
The availability of storage space on your device can impact your ability to download songs on Tidal. If your device's storage is full, you may need to free up space before being able to download additional content.
While the Free account lacks download support and the Tidal desktop app doesn't offer a download option, Tidal Music Converter comes to the rescue.
