“I really hope the tool will work for around a month – since that’s the free trial for TIDAL. Of course, tools like TiDown tend not to last very long once they’re discovered. To support his trolling he created the most ancient-looking website possible alongside a deliberately trashy ‘promo’ video. Over the past few days in advance of TiDown’s release, Lordmau5 has been having a bit of a laugh at the expense of people who didn’t believe he had created a proper working downloader. “This is an actual downloader – you are logging into TIDAL through the tool and you get the direct ‘stream-URLs’ that can then be downloaded,” Lordmau5 explains. Lordmau5 says that a few other streaming downloaders are available but these tend to require the user to listen to every track all the way through, a somewhat laborious task. It’s a command line tool but comes with all necessary instructions. The end result is TiDown, a tool that allows users to quickly download music from TIDAL in lossy or lossless formats. “I recently looked into some potential APIs and found out that it’s super simple to get the stream-/offline-URL for the tracks and… well… that’s when the coding began,” he says. Lordmau5 informs TorrentFreak that Spotify later improved its security so after being prompted by others he decided to see if downloads from TIDAL were a possibility. He’s been coding for six years already, starting out with Visual Basic and moving onto Java and lots of Minecraft modding. In ordinary circumstances both of these services are streaming only, but thanks to a coding upstart from Germany, users of the service can now download music from TIDAL to keep.Ī recent high school leaver, Lordmau5 previously created a tool for downloading music from Spotify. TIDAL comes in two flavors – TIDAL Premium (lossy quality) and TIDAL HiFi, a lossless CD quality service for the audio connoisseur. The platform, launched by artists including Jay Z, Kanye West, Beyonce and Madonna, is perhaps best known for its exclusives. You’ll only get the best quality there is. This service is unique because it offers songs at the highest bitrate available. Add songs to various playlists that you can create for yourself. You create an account and explore music by genre. Platforms such as Spotify, Pandora and Deezer are particularly well-known in the market today but relative new-comer TIDAL has also been making waves. Tidal is a music service that functions very similarly to others available on the market right now. After years of music only being made available on CD or permanent digital download, streaming services are now all the rage.
