Explore music and sound quality
TIDAL provides on-demand music, playlists and personalized mixes alongside higher-quality listening options. Supported recordings include lossless, HiRes FLAC and Dolby Atmos formats. The format delivered depends on the track, device and playback settings.
Offline listening lets you prepare music in the app before travel. Downloads are part of the subscription experience and should not be confused with buying transferable audio files.
Individual, household and DJ needs
Compare the current Individual, Family and Student arrangements against who will listen and whether you qualify for verification-based pricing. A household plan provides separate accounts under its eligibility rules.
TIDAL also offers a DJ extension for compatible DJ software and hardware. Ordinary listening access does not automatically include every DJ integration; check both the subscription requirements and the software you use.
Evaluate the trial
The official pricing page advertises a 30-day trial for new customers. Review the exact plan, price afterward and billing interval before entering payment details. Promotions and account eligibility can affect the offer you receive.
Use the trial to test the service on your normal equipment rather than relying on format labels alone. Higher-quality streaming can increase data use, and offline quality affects how much storage a downloaded library requires.
Set up your library
Open TIDAL’s pricing page and choose the appropriate listening plan. Create an account, review the checkout terms and install the app on supported devices.
Search for familiar albums, try a personalized mix and check the quality setting. If you are moving from another service, explore the available playlist-transfer route and review the result for tracks that did not match correctly.
