As one of the competitors in the HIFI streaming music field, Tidal has become the first major streaming platform to support MQA music since 2018. The MQA file, called the Master Quality Authenticated file, is a kind of lossy encoding file with standard and high-resolution audio. Meanwhile, compared with other audio types in the same quality, the MQA file’s requirements for storage and bandwidth are less.
The only pity of Tidal MQA is that users can’t download
Tidal MQA albums for personal collection, just like collecting CDs. Once your
HIFI subscription expires, none of MQA songs are playable. They are even not
visible on your device.
To prevent this problem from happening, I am willing to
sharing you with a useful tip in today’s blog. Just keep reading and find out
how to download Tidal MQA songs for listening forever without a subscription.
