Download TIDAL Playlists and Albums for Offline Listening

Part 1. How to Download TIDAL Playlists and Albums for Offline Listening

TIDAL offline downloads are available on supported mobile devices, including iPhone, iPad, Android phones, tablets, and compatible Apple Watch models. To download TIDAL music, open the TIDAL app and sign in with an active subscription.

Find the playlist or album you want to save, tap the Download option, and wait for the process to finish. After downloading, you can access your saved content from the downloaded section in the TIDAL app and listen without an internet connection.

Keep in mind that TIDAL downloads are only available for offline playback inside the app. You cannot export them, convert the file format, or transfer them directly to another device.

For Smartphones and Tablets

Smartphones and tablets are the main devices for TIDAL offline downloads. Both Android and iOS devices support downloading music through the TIDAL app. Android users may also use microSD cards for extra storage, while iPhone and iPad users rely on built-in storage.

01Launch the TIDAL app on your mobile device.

02Tap My Collection or the Profile icon at the bottom of the screen.

03Tap Playlists and select the playlist or album you want to download.

04Tap the Download button to save the content for offline listening.

05Tap My Collection > Downloaded to find and play your downloaded TIDAL music.

06If needed, tap the three dots icon > Settings > Offline Mode to enable offline listening.

For Smartwatches

Compatible smartwatches, such as Apple Watch, allow users to listen to downloaded TIDAL music without carrying a phone. This makes them a convenient option for workouts and outdoor activities.

01Launch the TIDAL app on your Apple Watch.

02Find and select the playlist or album you want to download.

03Tap the Download option.

04Keep your Apple Watch screen active until the download is complete.

05Open the downloaded content in the TIDAL app to listen offline.

For Computers

The TIDAL desktop app supports music playback on Windows and Mac, but it does not provide offline downloads. TIDAL downloads also remain inside the app and cannot be used as regular audio files. To save TIDAL music as MP3 or FLAC files for use on other devices, you need another method, such as ViWizard TIDAL Music Converter.

Part 2. How to Convert TIDAL Playlists and Albums to MP3 or FLAC

To save TIDAL music outside the app, you can use a TIDAL music converter like ViWizard TIDAL Music Converter to convert songs into common formats such as MP3 or FLAC. This method is useful for desktop users who want to build a personal music library while keeping details like song titles, artists, album names, and cover artwork.

ViWizard TIDAL Music Converter is a desktop application for Windows and Mac. It provides an alternative way to save TIDAL music since the TIDAL desktop app does not support offline downloads. With batch conversion support, it can process albums, playlists, or entire music libraries at once.

Users can sign in through ViWizard's built-in TIDAL Web Player and convert selected tracks into MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, M4B, or AIFF. The converted files are saved to the selected output folder and can be accessed or transferred to other devices.

For TIDAL's official offline downloads, you do not need to search for the files manually. They are stored inside the TIDAL app and can only be accessed from the downloaded section. The app manages these files automatically, so you cannot open or move them like regular audio files.

Part 4. How to Transfer Downloaded TIDAL Playlists and Albums

Official TIDAL downloads cannot be transferred directly between devices because they are stored inside the TIDAL app. Converted MP3 or FLAC files work differently. Since they are regular audio files, you can move them to USB drives, smartphones, tablets, or other unsupported devices.
