Part 1: Why Tidal?

Before we venture into the methods of listening to Tidal music when offline let’s answer an important question: why Tidal? Probably you are asking the same question why take the pains of tackling the problem of playing Tidal offline when there could be several other better options? Well, Tidal streaming services are like no other. While you can easily buy DRM free songs online for listening offline soon you will find that this option is quite limiting as single DRM free songs are expensive compared to a $9.99 subscription that gives you access to over 48 million tracks and over 150,000 music videos on Tidal.

You may be thinking that perhaps with tens of music streaming services in the world, there must be one that will offer you an easy path to listening to their songs offline. Well, that is not a viable alternative either. First, all music streaming services use a DRM software of one form or the other. This is mainly because the songs they stream don’t belong to them and thus they cannot afford to give the songs out for free and they cannot sell the songs as the independent publishers do.

This means that you have a limitation when it comes to playing the songs offline. Second, Tidal offers the best music quality than any other music streaming service in the world. Their Hi-Fi lossless quality is at the level of the CD which means that using their service is the same as buying a CD from the publishers. Now there is nowhere else where you can find access to millions of high-quality songs at a $19.99 per month subscription.
