Music streaming is a great way to get access to an almost limitless library of songs, but what about when you're in a situation where streaming isn't possible? In this article, we'll introduce you to an alternative way to download Tidal music in HiFi or Max quality, so you can enjoy your favorite tunes on any device even when internet connectivity isn't available!
Tidal HiFi and HiFi Plus subscriptions, both of which offer excellent sound quality, come with the added benefit of being able to download songs for offline playback. But there are some key differences between the two.
| Tidal HiFi | Tidal HiFi Plus | |
| Price | $10.99/mo | $19.99/mo |
| Music Library | Over 100 million songs | Over 100 million songs |
| Max sound quality | 1411 kbps (HiFi) | 9216 kbps (MQA) |
| Audio quality | 16-bit, 44.1 kHz | Up to 24-bit, 192 kHz Formats available include HiRes FLAC, Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio, FLAC, Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) |
If you're one of Tidal's subscribers, you can download your favorite songs, albums, and playlists to your computer or phone so you can keep listening even if you're not connected to the internet. To do this, open the Tidal app and go to My Collection. Then, tap the Download button next to the album or playlist that you want to download.
