Re: What is the best tidal music downloader for PC and Mac?

Hello! I understand your need to download Tidal music for offline listening after your free trial ended. However, it's important to note that Tidal's content is protected by digital rights management (DRM), which means downloading songs directly from Tidal without their official app or permission may violate their terms of service and copyright laws.

Official and Legal Options:
Tidal's Offline Mode: Tidal itself offers a built-in offline listening feature for subscribers. If you renew your subscription, you can download songs directly within the Tidal app for offline listening on your device. This is the safest and most straightforward method.

Third-Party Tidal music downloader:
While many third-party tools claim to download Tidal music, they often come with risks:
* Legal issues: Downloading copyrighted music without permission is illegal in many jurisdictions.
* Security risks: Some tools might contain malware or unwanted software.
* Unreliability: Many such Tidal music downloader tools are unreliable or no longer work due to Tidal's DRM protections.

If you still want to explore options, here are some tools that users have used in the past (note: I cannot guarantee safety or legality):
Paid & Reputable Software (with caution):

1. Audials Music (Windows & Mac)

* Records music from streaming services legally by capturing audio during playback.
* User-friendly interface.
* Paid, but offers a trial.

2. N0teBurner Tidal Music Converter (Windows & Mac)
* Converts Tidal streams to MP3, AAC, etc.
* Requires Tidal subscription.
* Paid, but offers free trials.

Note: These tools work by capturing audio during playback, which may be complex for non-tech-savvy users and could violate Tidal's terms.

Free Options:
* Using Tidal's official app: Subscribe again and use the built-in offline feature.
* Recording via Aud0city: You could use audio recording software like Aud0city to record songs as they play, but this is cumbersome and may result in lower audio quality.

Please be cautious with third-party Tidal music downloader tools, as they may infringe on copyright laws and pose security risks. The most reliable and legal way is to subscribe to Tidal again or use their official offline feature.
