How to Download Tidal Music to Mac

Tidal, an excellent on-demand streaming music service, provides 100 million songs, more than 650 thousand high-definition music videos, and exclusive music content for all members. What makes it special is its Hi-Fi audios, also named as CD-quality audios, outstripping most of its rivals.

By subscribing to Free or Hi-Fi plan on Tidal, users are able to stream music at a bitrate of 160kbps or 1411 kbps online, as well as download songs offline via the Tidal app. However, just like the other music streaming platform, those downloaded Tidal audio files are not saved as local files on computer, but more like the cache.
