Part 1. How Can You Download Tidal Music to USB

Tidal does not offer a direct feature to download music to a USB, and it uses digital rights management (DRM) to protect its music, which prevents the transfer of downloading songs to external devices like USB drives. The downloaded Tidal songs are encrypted and can only be played through the official Tidal app. Even with HiFi or HiFI Plus subscription, the offline use is only available on the mobile devices, and the downloaded songs are accessible within the mobile app only.

However, it's still possible for users who want to download Tidal music to a USB flash drive for the offline use by using a third-party tool or software, such as a Tidal music downloader called ViWizard Tidal Music Converter. By cracking the DRM from Tidal music, you can download songs, albums, and playlists to your device for offline listening even on the most common media player. Additionally, you can have the DRM-free version of your favorite Tidal music by converting it to some most-commonly used formats such as MP3 or WAV. Then these downloaded songs can be transferred to a USB drive or any external storage.
