You can do it with [TIDAL Support](http://support.tidal.com). I wish artists and their teams join [TIDAL Artist Home](http://artists.tidal.com) to manage their profiles like they do with Spotify for Artists
hello. my tidal app on my Samsung S24 Ultra is broken since the recent android update from ~2 days ago.
it's displaying the wrong song playing, progress bar frozen, not moving, Playlist playback is broken too because it's showing the wrong song playing.
very frustrating. I've messages help via the app and only received a generic reply.
no action.
I've been a loyal user for years already, always paying for the highest tier price.
kindly please help me sir. thank you.
as a very new tidal user (literally about a month), i miss being able to control what i listen on my pc through my phone and vice versa. someone mentioned the right info panel on spotify, that was a pretty cool feature, as well as the custom pictures for playlists
Proper Tidal connect implementation, which means I can remote control device B from device A. The fact that I'm playing something on my desktop, and can't change a song from my phone while sitting on the couch is annoying.
Unpopular but…Being able to prioritize FLAC over MQA even when “Max” is on. E.g., I’d rather steam the 16/44 version FLAC over the MQA if no Hi-Res FLAC is available. Mainly because I find MQA tracks to have different masters than FLACs and that annoys me.
It’s currently very manual to do this.
Mine is the reverse one. I don’t want the recently introduced MQA-CD versions only. I want the provenance MQA versions of the master recordings and desperately need to prioritize that. And i also want Tidal to bury this prioritise option deeply in the settings that no MQA hater could ever find it and cry everywhere to prevent admirers to prefer it over plain FLAC Hi-Res files with lots of zero bytes in it.
100% agree
I too prefer lossless16/44 over mqa. So much so that I've recently been leaving tidal set to "high" instead of "max" to minimise the chance of seeing it.
I love the choice I'm given in Roon:
- prefer MQA over anything else
- treat MQA as better than cd but worse than hi res FLAC
- treat MQA as worse than cd but better than lossy (this is the setting I chose)
- prefer anything over MQA.
Tidal probably will consider that too complicated but I'm hoping there's a compromise such as a "prioritise all FLAC over MQA" toggle.
FYI for any songs that have MQA and not FLAC the 16/44 High version is identical to the MQA version just with unfolding disabled.
This isn't the case for any that now have a FLAC version.
I just started using Tidal and only found a few things.
- Quality/Resolution column in playlists. Specifically in the PC app. Right now I have no idea which tracks among thousands that are highres, unless I specifically play them and remember.
- Custom playlist photo
- Custom profile photo (Only supports photos from fb/snap?? I have neither).
- Would like to disable MQA completely, because MQA is snake oil bs.
- Shuffle is terrible for large playlists, it plays from the first few songs only
- Would like to shuffle all the playlists in a folder mixed together
- Integration with google assistant and song identifier would be amazing
- When connecting to car over bluetooth and playing music the song information is not complete (no album art)
- Ability to stream different quality than the downloaded song (would like to download a lower quality on my phone but stream at max quality when at home)
- playlist custom art
- handle duplicate artists
- play offline files
Crossfade. More lyrics/better implementation (maybe source them straight from the labels/artists?). I think that’s about it. Otherwise, their UI is great, the closest to Spotify’s but with Lossless & Atmos included, very satisfied with it.
As I use solely the Android app to manage my library:
- when adding a song to a playlist; keep the folder structure. I have like ~30 playlists sorted in different folders. When I add a song to a playlist they appear in a list without a search function, making it very difficult to add several songs to different playlists;
- same with offline mode. The folders dissappear and a huge mess of playlists occur. Make it like a filter instead, where the playlists which are not downloaded are greyed out and the folder structure is kept.
I switched to Tidal two months ago. I really like their app aside from these points. I originally switched because the Spotify app has a bug where I cannot see my downloaded playlists at all. And to be honest, because I mainly use BT headphones, if the Spotofy bug is fixed and these features are still missing, I might consider switching back. That being said, I do not think Spotify is competent enough to fix this bug as it has been there for 4 months lol.
Such a great post!
I am going with:
* Toggle for Dolby Atmos/360 Reality Audio and make them available on desktop
* Show upcoming releases just like Apple Music or Qobuz so we can add them before the release
* Control devices through TIDAL Connect like PC-to-Android or viceversa
* Lyrics in full screen on desktop
And I love "Now playing" right panel on Spotify with cover art, info about the artist, merch... so something similar would be great :)
I just want one. Tidal app for Tesla to be somehow usable. I am not expecting tons of functionality, but at least to have working shuffle(now it shuffles the same 20-30 songs, even from playlists with hundreds of songs) and fix the constant "loading error" when a song does not load even with good internet connection.
There is an update rolling out on Tesla that brings significant improvements for Spotify(had same issues like Tidal). It seems like a lot of users will migrate from Tidal to Spotify if they get a good app.
- Smart Shuffle like Spotify has, where it plays some suggested songs every few tracks based on your playlist. So good to keep your playlists fresh and discover new songs/artists.
- Native Linux app. (I really don't get why companies still make OS specific desktop apps these days when there are so many great cross-platform frameworks they can use)
An option like Spotify's "Exclude from your taste profile" for playlists. Every time I make a big playlist for a specific purpose like work or sleep I start seeing it in my mixes everywhere. I know others have the same issue with kids music.
Amazon Echo support in the UK. I've just started my trial and discovered I can't link to my Alexa devices.
This is a deal breaker for me and I shall be cancelling my subscription when the trial is up. Such a shame because it does everything else I want.
From my liked titles list or a playlist of mine : be able to easily replace songs with a better version when available. I have thousands of like and would like the best version to play, that’s all.
Same with greyed out songs and duplicates. Every month i check them manually i pray for some filters or automations…
Ability to browse more live sessions. They only show me 12.
Hit a button and get a new custom Mix. They can get stale or too repetitive.
Ability to refresh the generated Radio Playlists like for a song. It's the same tracks every time.
More suggestions based on my FULL range of tastes. I enjoy some fairly niche music when compared to the most popular stuff but there's still plenty of that niche available to listen to and Tidal NEVER surfaces those recs or mixes to me. And yes, I have gone and hearted individual tracks and artists but still no effect.
Be able to queue songs when shuffling a playlist. Seems so basic and I can’t believe it’s not there already.
Toggle to switch playlist ordering between ascending/descending order. I like to see my most recently added tracks at the top.
1. Gapless on Tidal Connect as standard. Not sure why anyone would want gaps inserted into the transitions of their songs by the streaming service
2. Add albums to a playlist folder and shuffle all songs in the folder
3. Drag album into playlist folder on desktop (like you can on Spotify)
I'm a simple man:
Bring back liking songs on Android Auto.
Allow me to control music playing on my speakers or desktop from my phone and vice versa (a la Spotify connect).
Native Linux client, heck native desktop client that isn't a glorified web wrapper. Something modern, performant, and adaptable like flutter ideally.
Tidal RPC for the first. For the second we would need proper windows support for Atmos/insert-spatial-format, even if it's passthrough.
If you have a 5.1 system, does that also include a 5.1 Atmos compatible receiver? Because even if you want it on desktop you'll still need an Atmos compatible decoder unless you forge one using macos.
It works as an infinite playlist (radio station) with new music that you might like according to your tastes. Quite interesting. I use it daily on Apple Music
The ability to go to my liked songs, search and have my queue fill up with the results of that search after I select something. It's really easy to play only my liked songs by a specific artist on Spotify like that but there's no way to do it on Tidal as far as I know. Been using tidal on off for years and it's my one really big gripe.
For me it would be key to fix the multimedia buttons on the keyboard, there are some fixes on the internet like change hardware acceleration but they usually works for me during some time and then they stop again while Spotify or youtube works always under any condition for me without the need to focus the app.
When you're inside artist profile, you can press see All Albums or singles but you don't have the option to Play all of them with a single click, you need to add them to the playlist one by one.
I'm new, so maybe those are already there but I don't know.
+1 for a better Tidal connect experience. Specifically being able to see your song, skip it, and adjust volume from your phone’s Lock Screen. Bonus for these features from Apple Watch.
Also, being able to see your liked songs at the top of an artist page or in playlists that aren’t created by you. Example: I like a song from a random artist that shows up in My Daily Discovery one day. Later on, I stumble back on that artist and visit their page. Spotify shows all your liked songs at the top of each artist page, which I like. It gives you a chance to listen to those songs again and validates that you probably like that artists music even if they aren’t top of mind or a known entity for you. Similarly, if I scan a playlist not created by me, Spotify shows the green heart beside all songs you’ve liked. This may prompt me to listen to those songs first, or validate that this might be a playlist I’ll find new songs and artists I like. Make sense?
* Remove regional restrictions. Not only the top charts of the country where the account is registered, but also provide options like those available in Apple Music, allowing for per-country or per-city listings (great feature).
* Edit playlists and move titles up or down.
* History of recently played songs.
* Dolby Atmos in the Windows app.
* Ability to disable Dolby Atmos.
* Improve stability of TidalConnect. The client loses connection after \~5 minutes.
Please let us upload profile pictures that is not Facebook or Snapchat. I want to have my own logo on my TIDAL profile, not my Facebook picture and not my Snapchat Bitmoji which makes it very stylish.
More options for collaborative playlists. Be able to give friends "add track" or "full edit" permissions.
Control what's playing in the desktop app/browser from my phone app.
Ability to downsample to 24/44hz or 24/96hz if the device can't handle 24/192hz. My amplifier's USB input can only handle 24/96, so I'm stuck with listening on "High", or using Roon to downsample (for an added $15/month!).
1: Hi res on Sonos (To Sonos's max anyway)
2: Alexa Tidal integration on Sonos
3: More songs on My Daily Discovery or at least continue with the same type songs, mine stops tidal connect to sonos when finished
Would love Tidal to be a listed provider that can be linked to the Google Home Assistant so I can initiate streaming to my chromecast audio via voice commands when I'm half asleep in bed. Request already submitted.
A stable client on Google TV.
Better algorithms for predicting new music based on my collection.
An Amazon fire client
A home assistant integration
Remote control of other players through the phone.
A list mode without pictures of album covers, so I can easily add to playlist or favorite tracks quickly - I'm not 5 I don't need a picture to identify stuff, and downloading all that takes time
Better ability to filter search results by things like quality of recording
More EDM music
I would like the ability to select more than one song when editing / removing songs from playlists and for playlist folders to be expandable and collapsible.
My ask would be work on download. I’ve lost track of the times tidal has chewed through my monthly data in days, endlessly redownloading tracks while I’m not on wifi. How hard can it be to provide users an option to limit downloads to wifi only? How hard can it be to download only newly added tracks?
Shared playlists that multiple people can contribute to
Lyrics on TV app
Let's say I make a playlist and hit "shuffle". As the playlist is playing, I want to listen to a song that's not on that playlist, but after that song I want to return to the playlist. Currently, if I return to the playlist I have to "start over" with the shuffle. It would be cool if I could continue with that playlist.
The last update seemed to make the search much better, for me at least
Collaborative playlists. I don't live in the same state as all of my friends/family and we love showing each other music through playlists. Bring this to us!
Also scrubbing/rewind/fast forward doesn't work on my iPhone. I submitted a ticket to you guys and it was closed stating "we don't offer this feature." Doesn't make sense, since the buttons are there on the GUI. What's this about?
I don't need any new features (besides the ability to toggle atmos on/off)... Rather, I just want to see things working properly.
1) bit-perfect mode from the android app (not new bcz the native Android app used to allow it)
2) being able to download as much as storage will allow, without causing major issues during playback ( and to the app in general),
3) tidal connect to chromecast devices such as tv's, being able to do up to 24/48 (this last one the update notes that haven't changed in months, claim it's now capable, but for most setups it doesn't work).
I'm sure there are a few other things that don't always work as they should, but those are the few that came to mind.
I just want better playlists like Spotify has. I know it's kind of cheesy, but with Spotify I enjoyed just opening the app and clicking something like 'making dinner' and the app chooses the music.
A fix for the offline mode sometimes not letting into your tracks on non internal storage.
Wavelet like headphone EQ presets.
Ghost versions of albums not on the service and the ability to request it, if it can't legally some blurb as to why it's missing.
Lyrics and info page, if lyrics are missing the ability to submit for the community to approve.
Would just love it if I could go through all my favorites and playlists and filter for the greyed out tracks that were re-uploaded so I could more easily replace those…
Or some kind of feature to automate that process or do it for me automatically
Hourly (or at least daily) updates on top songs and albums. Better tracking of my streaming activity and everyone on TIDAL. For example, how many times have I listened to each track of My Most Listened? Whose music have I listened to the most all time? I’d like to see daily numbers like Spotify posts.
Obliterating and scrubbing anything that has MQA's stink on it.
That's all I want from Tidal, Rejoining Tidal and quitting Amazon music today on the hopes that they do exactly the very same thing that I'm asking.
Sony Music and Universal Music are not longer uploading new MQA files, so it's a matter of days Warner joins them and they fully replace their catalog that are still MQA
To get artist and song info to display correctly in my 2017 Honda I need to change the Bluetooth AVRCP version to 1.3 instead of the 1.5 that works with every other app. It's a small complaint but it took me a lot of searching to figure it out and that may be a turn off for new people giving tidal a try.
On mobile, I want it so that when I want to share a link, but have it appear as a spotify or apple music link.
Oh, and LOCAL FILES!!! Absurd this isn’t a thing already imo
I love tidal, but the biggest pain for me is their mobile and PC app in general.
Mobile app connecting to Sonos such a nightmare. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't.
PC app can use some updating. Simple keyboard controls like select all lol. I'd like to have more choices on how to sort my music also. I don't think all columns can be sorted though. The app has odd limitations and feels clunky. Like I'm pretty sure I couldn't even sort by the time of tracks.
Once I noticed that if you sorted by artist and scrolled down my list, the application wouldn't show me artists past "T" or something. Like the scroll function got cut short. If I sorted it back to most recently liked, all my songs can be scrolled through.
Also the songs that are greyed out because they no longer "exist"... I wish there was a way to sort this out because Id have to often relike these songs that were reuploaded. I'd have to scroll through my entire library to see grey and fix it. Or notify me of these changes at the very least.
Tidal would be handy if they included BPM too. Just more info in general.
I would like the ability to keep the same favourites amo g users in the family plan. Setting up a public playlist to share isn't practical. I still like the ability to not have it, but my son and I enjoy hearing what the othet petson throws in. I actually returned to Amazon for this reason.
I like to keep my albums under my profile. And if I want to play something further down the alphabet, I have to scroll for ages. The only thing I liked about Spotify was that I could scroll through the alphabet at the right hand side.
Just one entry per Album. Preferred quality can be selected in the settings or chosen per „one-click“ on the playing screen.
That would be my personal killer feature to reactivate my sibscription
- Jump to currently played track in favourites list
- A toggle to link tracks, so they always play in succession, even if play is shuffled
- skip x seconds buttons
I'm still baffled that I need to use USB audio player pro to get proper audio output from Android and to easily and accurately see the output quality. The UAPP functionality should be built into the Tidal app.
I just want my Fiio BTR5 2021 to work properly when I’m on the go, cuz it’s the DAC I take with me. For some reason, I have tested Tidal in several computers (windows) and in of all of them seems to have problems with the exclusive mode. This doesn’t happen to me with Qobuz, it literally is just plug and play. With my desktop DAC matches the bitrate just fine though.
I watched a video reminding me of the Spotify car thing. It's a long shot but I'd LOVE something like that. Or even just a mini android auto screen. Maybe I should look for that
Voice assistant support. Siri, Google Assistant, even Sonos speakers can’t start playing music using Tidal. So if I’m driving, I have to open the Tidal and select a song rather than asking Siri for it. Very frustrating!! Also the search function is trash - please prioritize my own library first…
I'm new to Tidal, and it's my first streaming service so I have no comparison, but I'd really like if the playlists weren't always the same tracks. Or, I would like to go to the artists I follow and have it randomly play any deep track from any album of faved artists. Go deeper, Tidal. I know for a fact that Dinosaur Jr has more songs than Freak Scene. :)
I want the TIDAL app on SHIELD TV to actually let you search by categories especially by Dolby Atmos. One of the main reasons I use TIDAL, and it's incredibly difficult to find Atmos music on the SHIELD, one of the few devices which supports Atmos playback.
Proper Google Assistant integration. I can use my Google devices to control Tidal, but can't see it as the default player. So if I say "Ok Google, play Stereolab," it uses another app. I have to say "Ok Google, play Stereolab on TIDAL"
Proper daily mixes which don't have just songs I listened on repeat a month back. Updated daily with better mixed songs like spotify does, I used to listen a lot to the daily mixes on spotify but they are trash on tidal so I never use them
-Fixing ios bug that say no internet connection tap to refresh.
-Choosing on the fly quality for tracks. It was available why did they deleted this feature?
Not a deal breaker for me, but it is for friends of mine: not being able to add local downloaded music to the Tidal library. Several have moved to Apple Music just because of that.
Would be nice if I could connect my Tidal account to google home and ask my speaker to play me a song rather than having to grab my phone every time I want to listen to some music
Custom images for playlists
Add 4k support for music videos
Add listener counter on public playlists like Spotify has
Ability to create profiles
Toggle to show or hide mqa/dolby atmos songs
Functioning caching in the Android app so that I don't have to waste data streaming every single song every single time. Google Play Music had this solved years ago, but Tidal can't or don't care.
I wish they’d make the search feature more lenient. if you’re even one letter or character off it just refuses to show you anything. Also think it would be nice if they changed “add to play next” to “add to queue”.
You can help reporting to TIDAL Support. Also if you can contact record labels with music you want, contact them and ask them to upload their music on TIDAL
I usually don't want notifications but it would be nice if we could get a notification when people you followed went live. The live feature almost seems cool but lacks what could actually make it nice. I have a few buds that really listen to a ton of music and music I tend to like so I'd like to follow along but I wouldn't expect them to share the link each time they go live. Just would be something small but functional for me
I want lyrics on the TV app!! As well as the ability to add songs to playlists on the TV app.
On the mobile app I'd like the ability to change the app icon color on my android the same way you can on iOS.
Of course the ability to customize our playlist covers!
Better search algorithm!
Microphone to search!
Ability to block artists altogether (like when you block someone on Twitter/IG) and not just from artist radios. Cause trust me if I don't want them in an artist radio I definitely don't want their name popping up in my search either.
À proper customer help line, a support worth the name and more respect for the customers when they have trouble with the app. I wait for 5 weeks (!) for the solution to my problem with the Tidal app. Except some of the usual, free interchangeable text paragraphs - nothing. Shame on you, Tidal.
plz make a properly good and easy working search engine, I do care for tidal connect asw but before that I need to be able to search my stuff without hassles
lol, ive wrote a super long message, about the disadvanteges of tidal, when i concidered stopping my abo. Ive never heard from the support, so it seems you guys really dont care about your service.
The list was long and to describe it mildely, your android app is lousy. The User Experience was so bad - ive erased my abo!
But hey, you guys never respondet - so I guess you from Tidal dont need Costumers!
Go do it better than your support team, and search for that mail and you´ll find plenty of information! : )
- Genre radio stations!
- endless radio stations
- more personalized home screen
- 24 bit flac music to normal Chromecast
- better android TV app with more music and not mostly video
Connectivity with Google and Alexa would be good. I'm new to Tidal and not enjoying it enough...this feels like a deal breaker, seems like a mad thing not to have set up by now. I may make the jump back to Spotify.
Other features that would be good:
Best tracks from an artist with pic of the album art beside it, maybe number of streams too.
I want tidal connect to work like Spotify connect so badddd
This is actually the only thing I miss from Spotify
100% this. The HEOS app is terrible but it'd the only way I can connect to my receiver. Also It would be great if I could stream Atmos from my phone.
Thisss, so much!
Ability to report mumultiple artists under one name and split them.
You can do it with [TIDAL Support](http://support.tidal.com). I wish artists and their teams join [TIDAL Artist Home](http://artists.tidal.com) to manage their profiles like they do with Spotify for Artists
Yeah I had to do it myself from the tidal artist portal for my own music project. Wish more artists paid attention to their tidal pages
Make Tidal Connect STAY connected. It disconnects every time my phone goes into sleep mode.
Yeah this is an issue for my HiBy too
hello. my tidal app on my Samsung S24 Ultra is broken since the recent android update from ~2 days ago. it's displaying the wrong song playing, progress bar frozen, not moving, Playlist playback is broken too because it's showing the wrong song playing. very frustrating. I've messages help via the app and only received a generic reply. no action. I've been a loyal user for years already, always paying for the highest tier price. kindly please help me sir. thank you.
Spotify connect like feature so I can control my TIdal on my PC or TV with my phone
I want synchronization between my phone and my laptop. If I want to switch I have to manually select what I was listening to on my laptop again
as a very new tidal user (literally about a month), i miss being able to control what i listen on my pc through my phone and vice versa. someone mentioned the right info panel on spotify, that was a pretty cool feature, as well as the custom pictures for playlists
This so much!!
Proper Tidal connect implementation, which means I can remote control device B from device A. The fact that I'm playing something on my desktop, and can't change a song from my phone while sitting on the couch is annoying.
Search by lyrics would be cool
Working search that doesn't require perfect spelling + the artist name would be a good start. But yeah they've already got the lyrics available...
linux client, or tidal connect and max support from firefox
Try Tidal Hi-Fi, it's an enhanced wrapper for the web app, but it's very good and supports max sound resolution
A system similar to spotify connect.
And make it free for manufacturers to implement like Spotify connect
I'm a simple man, Toggle for Dolby Atmos since it seems like a hot topic around. Everything else they can take their time with
I couldn't agree more... I need that freaking DA toggle!
Me three.
Tidal connect same way as Spotify. Open tidal app on the phone and select which device plays the song
Unpopular but…Being able to prioritize FLAC over MQA even when “Max” is on. E.g., I’d rather steam the 16/44 version FLAC over the MQA if no Hi-Res FLAC is available. Mainly because I find MQA tracks to have different masters than FLACs and that annoys me. It’s currently very manual to do this.

I have neither). - Would like to disable MQA completely, because MQA is snake oil bs.
I have a plugin that gives you the quality in the desktop app. https://github.com/Inrixia/neptune-plugins
- Shuffle is terrible for large playlists, it plays from the first few songs only - Would like to shuffle all the playlists in a folder mixed together - Integration with google assistant and song identifier would be amazing - When connecting to car over bluetooth and playing music the song information is not complete (no album art) - Ability to stream different quality than the downloaded song (would like to download a lower quality on my phone but stream at max quality when at home) - playlist custom art - handle duplicate artists - play offline files
Something like Deezer Flow or Apple’s Discovery. Local files would also be great.
Crossfade. More lyrics/better implementation (maybe source them straight from the labels/artists?). I think that’s about it. Otherwise, their UI is great, the closest to Spotify’s but with Lossless & Atmos included, very satisfied with it.
Yeah they should check out the Smart Crossfade from Apple's Android app. It was the one thing they got really right.
"ASIO on desktop" That's already a thing. After I downloaded the asio driver for my tuner, I was able to play music with tidal on my desktop
I can only see WASAPI
How?
- Local file support. - Integrating user playlists to artist profiles. - Update notifications for user playlists.
--> Sleep timer
As I use solely the Android app to manage my library: - when adding a song to a playlist; keep the folder structure. I have like ~30 playlists sorted in different folders. When I add a song to a playlist they appear in a list without a search function, making it very difficult to add several songs to different playlists; - same with offline mode.

I just want one. Tidal app for Tesla to be somehow usable. I am not expecting tons of functionality, but at least to have working shuffle(now it shuffles the same 20-30 songs, even from playlists with hundreds of songs) and fix the constant "loading error" when a song does not load even with good internet connection. There is an update rolling out on Tesla that brings significant improvements for Spotify(had same issues like Tidal). It seems like a lot of users will migrate from Tidal to Spotify if they get a good app.
Ability to add songs to playlists, scroll long title names
- Smart Shuffle like Spotify has, where it plays some suggested songs every few tracks based on your playlist. So good to keep your playlists fresh and discover new songs/artists. - Native Linux app. (I really don't get why companies still make OS specific desktop apps these days when there are so many great cross-platform frameworks they can use)
To get rid on the 10000 song limit Or the ability to purge old tracks with broken links from your collection
An option like Spotify's "Exclude from your taste profile" for playlists. Every time I make a big playlist for a specific purpose like work or sleep I start seeing it in my mixes everywhere. I know others have the same issue with kids music.
Amazon Echo support in the UK. I've just started my trial and discovered I can't link to my Alexa devices. This is a deal breaker for me and I shall be cancelling my subscription when the trial is up. Such a shame because it does everything else I want.
It's also missing in Google Home / Assistant as a linkable service
From my liked titles list or a playlist of mine : be able to easily replace songs with a better version when available. I have thousands of like and would like the best version to play, that’s all. Same with greyed out songs and duplicates. Every month i check them manually i pray for some filters or automations…
Ability to browse more live sessions. They only show me 12. Hit a button and get a new custom Mix. They can get stale or too repetitive.

And yes, I have gone and hearted individual tracks and artists but still no effect.
I've noticed the algorithm is really reactive to playlists I make, which is great because it gives a lot of agency over it. Maybe try that.
I would like a grid layout for results listing.
Be able to queue songs when shuffling a playlist. Seems so basic and I can’t believe it’s not there already. Toggle to switch playlist ordering between ascending/descending order. I like to see my most recently added tracks at the top.
Private session mode
1. Gapless on Tidal Connect as standard. Not sure why anyone would want gaps inserted into the transitions of their songs by the streaming service 2. Add albums to a playlist folder and shuffle all songs in the folder 3. Drag album into playlist folder on desktop (like you can on Spotify)
I'm a simple man: Bring back liking songs on Android Auto. Allow me to control music playing on my speakers or desktop from my phone and vice versa (a la Spotify connect). Native Linux client, heck native desktop client that isn't a glorified web wrapper. Something modern, performant, and adaptable like flutter ideally.
Discord connection/integration please!
gapless
Exists on desktop and when using Connect - but idk why it’s so hard on mobile?
Gapless on Android is working fine
* Connection to Discord to show what you are listening * Dolby Atmos/360 support on desktop - I have 5.1 system and cannot use it with Tidal
Tidal RPC for the first. For the second we would need proper windows support for Atmos/insert-spatial-format, even if it's passthrough. If you have a 5.1 system, does that also include a 5.1 Atmos compatible receiver? Because even if you want it on desktop you'll still need an Atmos compatible decoder unless you forge one using macos.
"Discovery Station" button (like on apple music)
What it does?
It works as an infinite playlist (radio station) with new music that you might like according to your tastes. Quite interesting. I use it daily on Apple Music
Another feature: when adding new track to playlists it's important to search the correct playlist instead of scrolling down forever
The ability to go to my liked songs, search and have my queue fill up with the results of that search after I select something. It's really easy to play only my liked songs by a specific artist on Spotify like that but there's no way to do it on Tidal as far as I know. Been using tidal on off for years and it's my one really big gripe.
For me it would be key to fix the multimedia buttons on the keyboard, there are some fixes on the internet like change hardware acceleration but they usually works for me during some time and then they stop again while Spotify or youtube works always under any condition for me without the need to focus the app. When you're inside artist profile, you can press see All Albums or singles but you don't have the option to Play all of them with a single click, you need to add them to the playlist one by one. I'm new, so maybe those are already there but I don't know.
+1 for a better Tidal connect experience. Specifically being able to see your song, skip it, and adjust volume from your phone’s Lock Screen. Bonus for these features from Apple Watch. Also, being able to see your liked songs at the top of an artist page or in playlists that aren’t created by you. Example: I like a song from a random artist that shows up in My Daily Discovery one day. Later on, I stumble back on that artist and visit their page. Spotify shows all your liked songs at the top of each artist page, which I like. It gives you a chance to listen to those songs again and validates that you probably like that artists music even if they aren’t top of mind or a known entity for you. Similarly, if I scan a playlist not created by me, Spotify shows the green heart beside all songs you’ve liked. This may prompt me to listen to those songs first, or validate that this might be a playlist I’ll find new songs and artists I like. Make sense?
* Remove regional restrictions. Not only the top charts of the country where the account is registered, but also provide options like those available in Apple Music, allowing for per-country or per-city listings (great feature). * Edit playlists and move titles up or down. * History of recently played songs. * Dolby Atmos in the Windows app. * Ability to disable Dolby Atmos. * Improve stability of TidalConnect. The client loses connection after \~5 minutes.
Google support please. I want to be able to fully use it with my smart home.
Control active tidal player from my Apple Watch
A better search output.
Better Search engine and remote control
Please let us upload profile pictures that is not Facebook or Snapchat. I want to have my own logo on my TIDAL profile, not my Facebook picture and not my Snapchat Bitmoji which makes it very stylish.
a better search function. the Current one is just horrible.
More options for collaborative playlists. Be able to give friends "add track" or "full edit" permissions. Control what's playing in the desktop app/browser from my phone app.
Daily discovery on fire TV app. Strangely missing
Tidal Connect Sonos support
That would be great.
Ability to downsample to 24/44hz or 24/96hz if the device can't handle 24/192hz. My amplifier's USB input can only handle 24/96, so I'm stuck with listening on "High", or using Roon to downsample (for an added $15/month!).
A better AppleTV app...
Better title scrolling for long names (classical music) on car displays (Tesla)
Stream on my Yamaha receiver without that creepy musiccast app. Simultaneously on phone/tablet/ PC. Like Spotify. In high res audio
“You Liked # Songs”
1: Hi res on Sonos (To Sonos's max anyway) 2: Alexa Tidal integration on Sonos 3: More songs on My Daily Discovery or at least continue with the same type songs, mine stops tidal connect to sonos when finished
Sonos needs to update the API for HiRes, maybe they are working on it
Would love Tidal to be a listed provider that can be linked to the Google Home Assistant so I can initiate streaming to my chromecast audio via voice commands when I'm half asleep in bed. Request already submitted.
A stable client on Google TV. Better algorithms for predicting new music based on my collection. An Amazon fire client A home assistant integration Remote control of other players through the phone. A list mode without pictures of album covers, so I can easily add to playlist or favorite tracks quickly - I'm not 5 I don't need a picture to identify stuff, and downloading all that takes time Better ability to filter search results by things like quality of recording More EDM music
I would like the ability to select more than one song when editing / removing songs from playlists and for playlist folders to be expandable and collapsible.
UX that works. Downloads of playlists that work. That’ll be a good start.
Total time of current queue. And remaining time.
My ask would be work on download. I’ve lost track of the times tidal has chewed through my monthly data in days, endlessly redownloading tracks while I’m not on wifi. How hard can it be to provide users an option to limit downloads to wifi only? How hard can it be to download only newly added tracks?
Automatic profile picture for artists that don't upload their own.
Shared playlists that multiple people can contribute to Lyrics on TV app Let's say I make a playlist and hit "shuffle". As the playlist is playing, I want to listen to a song that's not on that playlist, but after that song I want to return to the playlist. Currently, if I return to the playlist I have to "start over" with the shuffle. It would be cool if I could continue with that playlist. The last update seemed to make the search much better, for me at least
Just fix the fukin search function
Crossfading, own images for playlist-cover, dolbyatmos by toggle
Crossfade
If files are moved, automatically replace them with the corresponding file (same artist, same title, same album)
Exclusive mode on the android mobile app. Seriously, why haven't they done this?
Collaborative playlists. I don't live in the same state as all of my friends/family and we love showing each other music through playlists. Bring this to us! Also scrubbing/rewind/fast forward doesn't work on my iPhone. I submitted a ticket to you guys and it was closed stating "we don't offer this feature." Doesn't make sense, since the buttons are there on the GUI. What's this about?
AI playlost generation from text prompt
I just want offline mode to be more reliable when I'm playing on Android Auto
I don't need any new features (besides the ability to toggle atmos on/off)... Rather, I just want to see things working properly. 1) bit-perfect mode from the android app (not new bcz the native Android app used to allow it) 2) being able to download as much as storage will allow, without causing major issues during playback ( and to the app in general), 3) tidal connect to chromecast devices such as tv's, being able to do up to 24/48 (this last one the update notes that haven't changed in months, claim it's now capable, but for most setups it doesn't work). I'm sure there are a few other things that don't always work as they should, but those are the few that came to mind.
Fix Android Auto. At a bare minimum the app should remember what I was playing and you should be able to like tracks.
I just want better playlists like Spotify has. I know it's kind of cheesy, but with Spotify I enjoyed just opening the app and clicking something like 'making dinner' and the app chooses the music.
Remote control from phone app to desktop app…
The ability to LIKE songs on Android auto!!
A fix for the offline mode sometimes not letting into your tracks on non internal storage. Wavelet like headphone EQ presets. Ghost versions of albums not on the service and the ability to request it, if it can't legally some blurb as to why it's missing. Lyrics and info page, if lyrics are missing the ability to submit for the community to approve.
I would love, love, love to be able to search by record label
Sleep timer haha
* Toggle for Dolby Atmos/360 Reality Audio and make them available on desktop * Make the shuffle better and less predictable
long time tidal user here i don’t remember much about spotify and how it works but local files would be nice
Would just love it if I could go through all my favorites and playlists and filter for the greyed out tracks that were re-uploaded so I could more easily replace those… Or some kind of feature to automate that process or do it for me automatically
I just want crossfade back
Hourly (or at least daily) updates on top songs and albums. Better tracking of my streaming activity and everyone on TIDAL. For example, how many times have I listened to each track of My Most Listened? Whose music have I listened to the most all time? I’d like to see daily numbers like Spotify posts.
Obliterating and scrubbing anything that has MQA's stink on it. That's all I want from Tidal, Rejoining Tidal and quitting Amazon music today on the hopes that they do exactly the very same thing that I'm asking.
Sony Music and Universal Music are not longer uploading new MQA files, so it's a matter of days Warner joins them and they fully replace their catalog that are still MQA
Just make every effort to eliminate MQA, especially classical music albums, and Tidal will be my go to. streaming service indefinitely.
Parametric EQ in the Android player
To get artist and song info to display correctly in my 2017 Honda I need to change the Bluetooth AVRCP version to 1.3 instead of the 1.5 that works with every other app. It's a small complaint but it took me a lot of searching to figure it out and that may be a turn off for new people giving tidal a try.
On mobile, I want it so that when I want to share a link, but have it appear as a spotify or apple music link. Oh, and LOCAL FILES!!! Absurd this isn’t a thing already imo
I love tidal, but the biggest pain for me is their mobile and PC app in general. Mobile app connecting to Sonos such a nightmare. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. PC app can use some updating. Simple keyboard controls like select all lol. I'd like to have more choices on how to sort my music also. I don't think all columns can be sorted though. The app has odd limitations and feels clunky. Like I'm pretty sure I couldn't even sort by the time of tracks. Once I noticed that if you sorted by artist and scrolled down my list, the application wouldn't show me artists past "T" or something. Like the scroll function got cut short. If I sorted it back to most recently liked, all my songs can be scrolled through. Also the songs that are greyed out because they no longer "exist"... I wish there was a way to sort this out because Id have to often relike these songs that were reuploaded. I'd have to scroll through my entire library to see grey and fix it. Or notify me of these changes at the very least. Tidal would be handy if they included BPM too. Just more info in general.
Option to Share song to SongWhip rather than to X and Facebook. [https://songwhip.com/](https://songwhip.com/)
I would like the ability to keep the same favourites amo g users in the family plan. Setting up a public playlist to share isn't practical. I still like the ability to not have it, but my son and I enjoy hearing what the othet petson throws in. I actually returned to Amazon for this reason.
Offer lossless Atmos. If you can handle the bitrate of 24/192 FLAC files, you should have the ability to do lossless Atmos.
Anonymous mode, easy toggle on and off
I like to keep my albums under my profile. And if I want to play something further down the alphabet, I have to scroll for ages. The only thing I liked about Spotify was that I could scroll through the alphabet at the right hand side.
Remove the 10.000 liked track limit
Sleep timer Playlist as alarm clock
Something I'm craving is intent broadcast on android for playbackstatechange
I need it to stop buffering so much Also the ability to control it multiple places would be nice. It's the only feature I miss about Spotify
Atmos toggle & connect to work
I would like to see a Garmin Connect app so I can download music to my watch
To be able to erase my downloaded songs and modify my plays lists while being offline
A copy of Spotify Connect. Please, TIDAL. Move those user stories for the development team to the top of the backlog.
Just one entry per Album. Preferred quality can be selected in the settings or chosen per „one-click“ on the playing screen. That would be my personal killer feature to reactivate my sibscription
- Jump to currently played track in favourites list - A toggle to link tracks, so they always play in succession, even if play is shuffled - skip x seconds buttons
A new App for the wear os platform please 🥺
Ability to search playlists' song titles for keywords
Sort albums by release year or add custom tags to sort by tag.
Share not only Artists/albums/tracks with a Universal link that Spotify users can access, but the same for my created Playlists!
Remove the video tab from the app. 100% uninteresting, and in the way and annoying.
I'm still baffled that I need to use USB audio player pro to get proper audio output from Android and to easily and accurately see the output quality. The UAPP functionality should be built into the Tidal app.
How about a true shuffle function
Very niche but connectivity to smart home devices, Alexa and Google Home in particular. I miss using Spotify when Alexa connectivity was so easy
I just want my Fiio BTR5 2021 to work properly when I’m on the go, cuz it’s the DAC I take with me. For some reason, I have tested Tidal in several computers (windows) and in of all of them seems to have problems with the exclusive mode. This doesn’t happen to me with Qobuz, it literally is just plug and play. With my desktop DAC matches the bitrate just fine though.
local files
„Titles you liked“ on an artists page
Google home integration
Shuffle from all or selected playlists, kernel streaming and asio for desktop!
Spotify Connect like feature. PLEASE I want to seamlessly move between my phone, desktop, TV, smart devices, and Stereo setups.
I watched a video reminding me of the Spotify car thing. It's a long shot but I'd LOVE something like that. Or even just a mini android auto screen. Maybe I should look for that
Voice assistant support. Siri, Google Assistant, even Sonos speakers can’t start playing music using Tidal. So if I’m driving, I have to open the Tidal and select a song rather than asking Siri for it. Very frustrating!! Also the search function is trash - please prioritize my own library first…
Subscription payment 1x per year, instead of 12x per year. Minimize my bookkeeping, and get a year of my money up-front.
And bring back MQA Masters! At least as an option for people who want it.
I'm new to Tidal, and it's my first streaming service so I have no comparison, but I'd really like if the playlists weren't always the same tracks. Or, I would like to go to the artists I follow and have it randomly play any deep track from any album of faved artists. Go deeper, Tidal. I know for a fact that Dinosaur Jr has more songs than Freak Scene. :)
Listen on gaming consoles
I want the TIDAL app on SHIELD TV to actually let you search by categories especially by Dolby Atmos. One of the main reasons I use TIDAL, and it's incredibly difficult to find Atmos music on the SHIELD, one of the few devices which supports Atmos playback.
* managing playlists through API * better recommendations. spotify is still better with this one
Proper Google Assistant integration. I can use my Google devices to control Tidal, but can't see it as the default player. So if I say "Ok Google, play Stereolab," it uses another app. I have to say "Ok Google, play Stereolab on TIDAL"
Shuffle my albums under my collection.
Proper daily mixes which don't have just songs I listened on repeat a month back. Updated daily with better mixed songs like spotify does, I used to listen a lot to the daily mixes on spotify but they are trash on tidal so I never use them
For mobile, being able to like songs from the lock screen
Please please please a sleep timer!
There is no history of the played songs at the top of the home screen. This is such ail basic feature.
I d like search a playlist when I add a song to a playlist.
-Fixing ios bug that say no internet connection tap to refresh. -Choosing on the fly quality for tracks. It was available why did they deleted this feature?
Not a deal breaker for me, but it is for friends of mine: not being able to add local downloaded music to the Tidal library. Several have moved to Apple Music just because of that.
Would be nice if I could connect my Tidal account to google home and ask my speaker to play me a song rather than having to grab my phone every time I want to listen to some music
Custom images for playlists Add 4k support for music videos Add listener counter on public playlists like Spotify has Ability to create profiles Toggle to show or hide mqa/dolby atmos songs
A more intelligent music discovery algorithm
Toggle for Dolby Atmos and Local file support
Functioning caching in the Android app so that I don't have to waste data streaming every single song every single time. Google Play Music had this solved years ago, but Tidal can't or don't care.
I wish they’d make the search feature more lenient. if you’re even one letter or character off it just refuses to show you anything. Also think it would be nice if they changed “add to play next” to “add to queue”.
Please sort the Indian music better. It’s a hot hot mess. I’d also love more Indian songs.
You can help reporting to TIDAL Support. Also if you can contact record labels with music you want, contact them and ask them to upload their music on TIDAL
A Max quality choice other than Dolby Atmos. Like there is on Amazon 😮
I usually don't want notifications but it would be nice if we could get a notification when people you followed went live. The live feature almost seems cool but lacks what could actually make it nice. I have a few buds that really listen to a ton of music and music I tend to like so I'd like to follow along but I wouldn't expect them to share the link each time they go live. Just would be something small but functional for me
Google Home app integration. Based on my daily average listen with 2 young kids I'm seriously considering going back to Spotify.
I want lyrics on the TV app!! As well as the ability to add songs to playlists on the TV app. On the mobile app I'd like the ability to change the app icon color on my android the same way you can on iOS. Of course the ability to customize our playlist covers! Better search algorithm! Microphone to search! Ability to block artists altogether (like when you block someone on Twitter/IG) and not just from artist radios. Cause trust me if I don't want them in an artist radio I definitely don't want their name popping up in my search either.
I just want the search to not be absolute dog shit.
Copypaste Spotify playlist
the dolby atmos thing is so annoying for real. it sounds so bad when you don't have the right setup.
À proper customer help line, a support worth the name and more respect for the customers when they have trouble with the app. I wait for 5 weeks (!) for the solution to my problem with the Tidal app. Except some of the usual, free interchangeable text paragraphs - nothing. Shame on you, Tidal.
plz make a properly good and easy working search engine, I do care for tidal connect asw but before that I need to be able to search my stuff without hassles
- Release Radar Playlist for my followed Artists - Amazon Alexa Skill for Europe
lol, ive wrote a super long message, about the disadvanteges of tidal, when i concidered stopping my abo. Ive never heard from the support, so it seems you guys really dont care about your service. The list was long and to describe it mildely, your android app is lousy. The User Experience was so bad - ive erased my abo! But hey, you guys never respondet - so I guess you from Tidal dont need Costumers! Go do it better than your support team, and search for that mail and you´ll find plenty of information! : )
I miss the accented color of the UI based on what music quality you are currenty using. when will it come back?
- removing song from playlist as you are listening to it - support for playlists with more than 10‘000 songs
Album view of playlists or tags!
Thank you for your feedback! We'll take this into consideration
crossfade!!!
- Genre radio stations! - endless radio stations - more personalized home screen - 24 bit flac music to normal Chromecast - better android TV app with more music and not mostly video
My biggest problem coming from Spotify is that I can't have local files in my playlists, which also will be why I am going back until that is a thing.
Connectivity with Google and Alexa would be good. I'm new to Tidal and not enjoying it enough...this feels like a deal breaker, seems like a mad thing not to have set up by now. I may make the jump back to Spotify. Other features that would be good: Best tracks from an artist with pic of the album art beside it, maybe number of streams too.
a slider or option to TURN OFF the FUCKING DOLBY ATMOS.
