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".

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 :)

Integrations with other projects that are not included natively:

  • i3 blocks config - My dotfiles where I use this app to fetch currently playing music (direct commit)
  • 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.
