Tidal-dl is an open-source tidal music downloader available on GitHub that allows you to download Tidal tracks to a computer. It requires some technical knowledge to set up and use but offers a free solution for downloading Tidal music.

1. Download the latest release from GitHub and extract the ZIP file.

2. Open the extracted folder and double-click tidal-dl.exe to start the program.

3. Install via Python (requires Python 3):

pip install tidal-dl

4. When you launch tidal-dl for the first time, it will ask for a Tidal token. You can get this token from your Tidal mobile app:

  1. Install the Tidal app on your phone.
  2. Use a tool like Charles Proxy or Fiddler (advanced users only) to intercept the token, or look for community-shared valid tokens online (not officially recommended due to security risks).

 

5. Once logged in, you can start downloading tidal songs to mp3 with the following command:

tidal-dl "music_track_url"

6. You just paste the link, and Tidal-dl will download and convert the files to MP3 in the output folder.

Note: While these tidal downloader tools can help you convert Tidal music mp3 on a computer, it's essential to use them responsibly and ensure compliance with Tidal's terms of service.
