How to Listen to Tidal Music Offline
TIDAL is a Norwegian subscription-based music, podcast, and video streaming service that provides lossless audio and high-definition music videos. With more than 100 million tracks and 650,000 music videos in its library, it offers lossless CD quality (FLAC-based 16-Bit/44.1 kHz) and HiRes (FLAC-based 24-bit/96 kHz) quality songs. And here comes a question, how much cellular data would be consumed with HiFi streaming?
According to the official data presented on the Tidal website, “HiFi audio usually consumes up to 5.5 MB of data per minute, and MQA up to 7.5MB of data per minute (varying based on the exact sample rates)”. Despite the cellular data offered by the mobility service providers has been adequate for most people nowadays, 7.5MB of data per minute still takes considerably high consumption. However, the data usage would no longer be an issue if we could listen to Tidal music offline. Keep reading the following section and you will be learning the best two ways of streaming Tidal music offline.
Method 1: Use Tidal Offline Mode
The Tidal mobile application does have the offline mode for both Android and iOS devices. You can simply enable the feature and make sure you download the music under WiFi conditions to avoid extra data usage.
On Android:
To access your content offline on your Android device, go to My Collection, select Downloaded and select the content you want to access.
On iOS:
Once you have enabled the offline mode, you can go to My Collection and select the tracks you want to download.
Method 2: Download Tidal songs to local drive
The first method works only if you listen to the Tidal music on their official application, what about listening to Tidal songs on another player or device? If you can download the Tidal songs to your local drive as MP3, AAC, or other common audio format, you will be able to listen to the music offline and on any player or device without limits. Simply follow the tutorial below to download the Tidal songs to your local drive for completely offline streaming.
