## Why did I create TIDAL Hi-Fi?
|
|
|
|
I moved from Spotify over to Tidal and found Linux support to be lacking.
|
|
When I started this project there weren't any Linux apps that offered Tidal's "hifi" options nor any scripts to control it.
|
|
I made this app to support the highest quality audio available on the Linux platform. It used to be "hifi" but now is ["High & Max"](https://tidal.com/sound-quality).
|
|
|
|
### Why not extend existing projects?
|
|
|
|
Whilst there are a handful of projects attempting to run Tidal on Electron they are all unappealing to me because of various reasons:
|
|
|
|
- Lack of maintainers/developers. (no hotfixes, no issues being handled etc)
|
|
- Most are simple web wrappers, not my cup of tea.
|
|
- Some are DE-oriented. I want this to work on WM's too.
|
|
- None have Widevine working at the moment
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it's just easier to start over, cover my own needs and after that making it available to the public :)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Note that you **need** a notification library such as [libnotify](https://github.com/GNOME/libnotify) or [dunst](https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst) for the software to work properly.
|
|
|
|
### Using releases
|
|
|
|
Various packaged versions of the software are available on the [releases](https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi/releases) tab.
|
|
|
|
### Snap
|
|
|
|
To install with `snap` you need to download the pre-packaged snap-package from this repository, found under releases:
|
|
|

|
wget <URI> #for instance: https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi/releases/download/1.0/tidal-hifi_1.0.0_amd64.snap

## Integrations
|
|
|
|
TIDAL Hi-Fi comes with several integrations out of the box.
|
|
You can find these in the settings menu (`ctrl + =` by default) under the "integrations" tab.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Integrations with other projects that are not included natively:
|
|
|
|
- [i3 blocks config](https://github.com/Mastermindzh/dotfiles/commit/9714b2fa1d670108ce811d5511fd3b7a43180647) - My dotfiles where I use this app to fetch currently playing music (direct commit)
|
|
- [neptune](https://github.com/uwu/neptune) third party plugins & theming
|
|
|
|
## Known bugs
|
|
|
|
### DRM not working on Windows
|
|
|
|
Most Windows users run into DRM issues when trying to use TIDAL Hi-Fi.
|
|
Nothing I can do about that I'm afraid... Tidal is working on removing/changing DRM so when they finish with that we can give it another shot.
