Why did I create tidal-hifi?

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.

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 then making it available to the public :)

integrations menu, showing a list of integrations

  • MPRIS - MPRIS media player controls/status
  • Discord - Shows what you're listening to on Discord.

Not included:

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

Known bugs

last.fm doesn't work out of the box. Use rescrobbler as a workaround

The last.fm login doesn't work, as is evident from the following issue: Last.fm login doesn't work. However, in that same issue you can read about a workaround using rescrobbler. For now that will be the default workaround.

DRM not working on Windows

Most Windows users run into DRM issues when trying to use Tidal-hifi. 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.
