Convert Tidal Music to MP3

By Vincent Porter on August 8, 2022

We are now in the era of streaming music services and it's likely that most people are using a certain streaming music service like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, etc. If you concern audio quality most, maybe you have heard of Tidal Music, which is the first one to provide lossless audio tier at $9.99, while all other music services only provide ordinary audio quality initially. Currently, Apple and Amazon have also provided lossless audio without extra fees, but Tidal has won some users' loyalty.

According to a report from MIDia (an entertainment research firm) regarding streaming music services, Tidal only owned less than 2% of global market share. However, considering the huge population base, it's still a lot of people. Some users want to enjoy Tidal songs on MP3 player, iPod Nano/Shuffle, Walkman, etc. when they are running, jogging or doing exercise. However, Tidal is not available for those devices. And we don't always need lossless audio quality because the file size is too large and our earphones might not be good enough. That's why some Tidal users want to find a solution to convert Tidal music to MP3.

Recording software is often mentioned when we talk about converting Tidal music or other music to MP3. We can use audio recording software to record songs from Tidal app, but it is really time-consuming because both real-time recording and manual ID3 tag editing require a long time.

Don't worry, in this article, we will introduce a professional Tidal music converter which can efficiently and effortlessly convert Tidal albums and playlists to MP3. With this Tidal to MP3 converter, you can enjoy both Tidal's lossless audio quality and MP3's convenience.

Part 1. Using Audio Recording Software to Record Tidal Music is Inefficient

When we want to save one or several songs as MP3, we will usually consider audio recording software. If you are using Tidal music and want to save some Tidal songs, probably you may have following operations.

Find a free audio recorder or an online audio recorder first, open Tidal app or open a web browser and access Tidal web player, start audio recorder, click "Start recording" button then immediately start playing desired Tidal song. When the playback of a song ends, press "Stop recording" button and save the recording as MP3. After saving the file, rename the MP3 file to match the song title.

Such a process is not complicated and even a computer novice can master it easily. One of the most popular free audio recorders is Audacity as it's developed by open-source, available on Windows, macOS and Linux, and it can edit audio files easily as well. There are also many other choices you can easily search on Google, however, you may need to pay attention to the output formats because many free audio recorders only provide WAV format and MP3 format is not available.

Using audio recorder to save one or several Tidal tracks might be OK, however, if you want to save a Tidal album or a Tidal playlist with tens of tracks, it's not feasible unless you have too much free time and have nothing to do. Let's check why audio recording software is not a good solution to convert/save Tidal to MP3.

• You need to concentrate on the audio playback bar of Tidal music or Tidal web player for real-time audio recording. When the playback of a song ends, you need to click "Stop recording" button quickly, otherwise, you may also record the beginning of next song.
• If you leave the recorder alone, it will record several songs into one and you will have to split the songs manually.
• Audio recorder software can't recognize the songs, thus it can only rename the output file in a number sequence or a time stamp. You need to rename the output files manually.
• Most audio recorders cannot get ID3 tags of the songs, some of them can get ID3 tags from IMDB or other online database, however, only a small part of popular songs can be recognized. When playing the songs on various devices, there won't be music information including artwork, artist, album, track number, etc. If you want to edit ID3 tags for each song, you will get another time-consuming chore.
