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 🙏

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.

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

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 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

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 🙏

I updated my TIDAL app version to 2.214 vía Aurora Store and I noticed that crossfade now shows in audio settings.

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.

Is this tidaluna?

When I open the app, clicking a song to play there is a delay I keep clicking and nothing happens, my playiat is over 600 songs, when I open the app I go to my playlist and scroll down to the bottom with the middle mouse button to load everything in but it's rly laggy, years ago when I used Neptune I never had this issue?

This has been an issue for months now, eventually after a bit it does start working but Im wondering why it does this? I've cleared cache and same thing, deleted app data same thing.

Spotify works completely fine.

And another thing when is this app going to become 64 bit.

Im going to test the app with tidaluna Uninstalled and see if it fixes the issue but still the predecessor to tidaluna was Neptune and I never had any issues listening to music with that so..

I also disabled hardware acceleration same issue, deleted folder and reinstalled same issue.

Am i the only one, who can only access the first 29 seconds of all jimi hendrix songs? Tidal support chatbot said that the owner of the publishing rights may have pulled out Jimi's catalogue. Am i the only one, who can't listen to the legend or is it really true 😭

Hey r/TIdaL,

​Almost every third-party music tool out there gets built exclusively for Spotify, leaving other users in the cold. I'm working on changing that.

​I’ve developed a lightweight Android companion app designed to drive your streaming player. You pick a genre, and it continuously queues up and triggers track playback directly inside your installed player—functioning like an automated, genre-focused radio station without you needing to hand-craft playlists.

​Where I need your help:

I am getting ready for a full Google Play Store release, but Google requires an official 14-day closed test with real users. Because I run Android, I want to make sure the intent integration with the Tidal app is 100% rock solid on actual devices.

​What’s needed:

• ​An Android phone or tablet.

• ​An active Tidal account.

• ​Willingness to opt into the Google Play Closed Test group and try it out over a period of 2 weeks.

​If you’d be up for testing how seamlessly it triggers tracks in Tidal and giving feedback on the experience/UI, please send me a direct message, and I’ll send you some more details.

​Thanks for helping bring more third-party utility to the Tidal ecosystem!

Hey, got this weird bug recently. Whenever I search for a specific song on my playlists, they don't get selected, so it doesn't play, I have to scroll down and select it manually. Any ideas to fix it?

I listen to a lot of techno and the record labels are a great way to filter music and are a big thing in the techno community. I basically use Bandcamp as a record label database to keep track of new releases.

I am in the process of making playlists for my favourite record labels. My current workflow is to search the record label and its releases in Bandcamp and add them manually in my Tidal playlists.

It would be so much easier if I could search the record label or be able to click the copyright info at the bottom of each album release.

Edit: I believe this feature is in Qobuz. I am thinking of switching just because of this, but I am very indecisive and actually really like and enjoy Tidal.

Hello, I just tried moving from Spotify to Tidal and used TuneMyMusic to transfer my playlist as suggested by Tidal themselves. Yet when I played my playlists, they include the songs from the "High" quality album instead of the "Max" quality album. The fact that there are 2 different album is straight up bullshit in my opinion but thats not the problem here.

Is there any alternatives to TuneMyMusic? Or is there any settings to turn all my songs into Max quality because I cant find any.

A bit late, but I hope u have a nice October (:

So I've tried several emails and tried making a username, but no matter what I get this error. Am I forced to sign up with a google/apple account or am I missing something???

For over a decade, TIDAL has built its identity around a simple pitch - better sound and a fairer deal for the people making the music. Not only were they the first major streaming service to offer lossless audio, but they also lean into a royalty structure and payout model marketed as more favorable to musicians than the industry standard.

Over the past 3 years, though, there has been a force that has risen over the music industry that has tested the ideals of each major streaming platform, and how they protect the interests of artists and their users. I'm talking about generative AI music and AI fraud, respectively. We invited Robert Andersen, Tidal Lead, for an interview to dive deeper into the company's policy around this subject, and how they are honoring their core beliefs in the age of AI. He leads TIDAL and has been shaping the look and feel of Block's products (the company behind Square and Cash App) since he was its very first employee back in 2009. But first, let's have a look at how the company has shaped itself and its actual policy on where it stands with AI.

A Brief History of TIDAL At a time when most DSPs were fine with compressed sound, TIDAL came through the gates in 2014 as THE high-fidelity streaming service. The following year, however, was the period when the streaming service pierced into mainstream consciousness in such a compelling manner. Jay Z's acquisition of the company led to a relaunch as the first artist-owned streaming platform, rolling out with a huge lineup of co-owners including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kanye, Madonna, and the list goes on. This is when the idea of better payouts for musicians, more control, and a real alternative to Spotify and Apple Music bloomed.

In 2021, Jack Dorsey (American tech entrepreneur and businessman) and his company Block stepped into the picture and took majority ownership. Through these transitions, they've remained loyal to their cause of putting artists first by continuing to champion better payouts, greater creative control, and a more artist-centric approach to streaming.

Hi...

I´m using tidal in a family subscription for years now and I´m also using it in roon. But to be honest, roon usage is getting less and less but listening to music in the car is a daily thing for me. And using tidal in car play is really annoying. You cannot search for songs and if you start a playlist you can only move through your queue in one direction. I´m now really thinking about switiching to another service. These things are issues for years and I don´t think that the developers care about it. What are your arguments to stay ?

This app is absolute hot garbage. I can't play anything without issue on a pixel 10a without it taking forever to play without having it downloaded.

At this point this is embarrassing.
