If you use your phone's wifi hotspot (so your car and the Tidal app see it as a Wifi connection) then you can stream as Wifi.Should I download the entire playlist in order to get it all songs on HiFi while driving? Where is it stored? I guess I can delete it later if needed?
In firmware 2021.40.6 they added Tidal as an actual music source (like Spotify, etc). If you have a Tidal account (HiFi or higher tier) you can stream or download their lossless (“HiFi”) tracks while your car is connected to WiFi, and if you have downloaded them as lossless this way, you can play those lossless tracks back while connected just via LTE in the car. Sidenote: It appears you currently need premium connectivity or tether to your phone for wifi while driving in order for Tidal to (continually) check back to its backend servers that you have permission for playback of those downloaded tracks.Sorry, but is there a Tidal app to choose from to stream high bit rate music? I’m on an FSD Beta build and all I have is Spotify, TuneIn and “streaming”?
I think most of us aren’t true audiophiles when we are streaming music and not from a downloaded source but in terms of streaming the quality is noticeable better. I agree the tidal interface needs an overhaul…not as polished as Spotify.I tried Tidal previously and yes the quality can be Ok, but since I mostly use music off my USB drive with typically 320kbps mp3 although has compression for size my 50+ yr olds ears won’t tell the difference hardly. Tidal just sounds Ok. The audio system isn’t anything special in the Tesla, it isn’t reference quality so to my ears everything sounds just good and not amazing. Audiophiles are picky and I been one since my teens and also a musician.
The Tidal app is a bit of a mess and features are really lacking IMO compared to Spotify as well. Price is more for a family plan compared to others services and my daughter didn’t like the app and features either. And if you use BT to stream from your phone you just killed some of the quality as well. You would be at 1/3 of the highfi plus 1192kbps if you did that. So you paid for something that was just undone by BT codecs.
The FSD track has yet to receive the Tidal update. I think I'm gonna try it out myself once it becomes available...sounds pretty nice!Sorry, but is there a Tidal app to choose from to stream high bit rate music? I’m on an FSD Beta build and all I have is Spotify, TuneIn and “streaming”? For sources (and FM). When I had my Bowers & Wilkins equipped Volvo, I had to use Apple CarPlay to use Tidal connected via USB for it to work. It was pretty clunky. An app would be sweet? Sorry, but I didn’t plow through this whole thread to get the details. I just saw Tidal and got excited. !
Agree it would be really dumb to stream Tidal over bluetooth and expect anything better than 256k quality.And if you use BT to stream from your phone you just killed some of the quality as well. You would be at 1/3 of the highfi plus 1192kbps if you did that. So you paid for something that was just undone by BT codecs.
I do. Have for a couple years now, after dumping my Sonos home systems for BlueSound units, hooked up to various stereos of varying levels of quality throughout the house, depending on the use.I have to ask….who the heck uses Tidal? Maybe I’m out if the Loop/Woke crowd? Have a family Spotify Premium account whole family uses….that’s after we all agreed and dumped Apple Music. There’d be a mutiny if I even mentioned Tidal.

I agree. Plus, I like the app better myself. My kids and wife had family Spotify, so by default i do too. And i like Spotify for certain stuff. Like the greater social network regarding shared playlists, and etc., and the metrics stuff is kinda fun. But if I had to dump one, it would be Spotify.With the current news cycle about Spotify, this certainly gave me the push to make the switch. I can't say how much I appreciate the Tesla/Tidal integration. It made the switch so easy!
For me, I find the opposite WRT the look and feel of the app, and how I use it, and the features I more care about. Also, I don’t use Bluetooth to do Tidal. That’s silliness.I tried Tidal previously and yes the quality can be Ok, but since I mostly use music off my USB drive with typically 320kbps mp3 although has compression that format, but to my 50+ yr olds ears won’t tell the difference hardly.

Haha! Yeah, I picked Beck, Radiohead and Slowdive for my three "starter' artists and I noticed the same thing. We're apparently listening to the wrong music.Am I the only one new Tidal subscriber who’s noticing nearly every curated “popular” playlist is 95% rap or Adele? I find I have to do a lot of specific searching to find the other content. Spotify’s mixes seem to be easier in that regard while in motion.
