How to Listen to Tidal Music Offline


Tidal is Norwegian subscription-based music, podcast, and video streaming service that provides lossless audio and high-definition music videos. With more than 80 million tracks and 250,000 music videos in its library, it offers two levels of service: Tidal Free (lossy quality) and Tidal HiFi (lossless CD quality – FLAC-based 16-Bit/44.1 kHz – and MQA – typically lossy 24-bit/96 kHz). And here comes to 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 to most people nowadays, 7.5MB of data per minute still takes considerably high consumption. But the data usage would no longer be an issue if we can listen to Tidal music offline. Keep reading the following section and you will be learning the best two ways of streaming Tidal music offline.

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.
