Tidal is a music streaming platform offering a big music library and high-quality music to fans all over the world. If you subscribe to Tidal HiFi or HiFi Plus, you can even listen to music that has MQA and 360 Reality Audio quality. Tidal is a great music platform, but there exist a lot of other music streaming platforms with their own pros and cons, such as Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Music. For some reason, you may sometimes move from one platform to another. And at that time, you need to transfer your playlists from one platform to another as well. So what’s the method of exporting a Tidal playlist and saving it as a local file or exporting a Tidal playlist to other music platforms? In this article, we will give you an answer to your question.
Part 1. Can You Export Tidal Playlist?
The answer is yes. As we all know, Tidal enables users to create their own music playlists and you can download the songs you like from your playlist. But Tidal only allows download and offline playback on the Tidal app from your smartphone. Also, all the songs you download are DRM-protected, which limits them to only being played on Tidal. Thus, if you want to download Tidal songs to your local computer or export a Tidal playlist as a backup, you need a third-party program. We highly recommend AudBite Tidal Music Converter – a useful and efficient music converter, that helps you export a playlist from Tidal easily.
