2. How to Download TIDAL Music to a Mac Computer?
Step 1. Select Songs from TIDAL
When you open TunePat, you will see two buttons in the upper right corner, "Switch to App" and "Load Web player". The program generally defaults to getting songs from the Tidal web player. Before we start adding songs, let's first introduce the difference between the two modes:
Tidal (Web player) supports conversion speeds up to 10X. If you choose to convert TIDAL songs from the App, you can enjoy up to HiRes (Max) audio quality (at 1X conversion speed). But the premise is that you have already installed the TIDAL app. If not, you will be prompted to download it from the official website by clicking the "Download App" button.
If you choose to convert songs from TIDAL Webplayer, click "Load Web player" or the "Add" button in the middle to open TIDAL Webplayer as shown in the image below.
If you choose to add songs from TIDAL App, click "Load App".
Regardless of which mode you choose to convert songs from, first log in to your TIDAL account. Once you have successfully logged in, you will have seamless access to Tidal's library.
Now, open the desired song, album, playlist, or podcast and select the "Click to add" button. This action will prompt TunePat to automatically detect and load the songs. On this page, all songs will be selected by default. You can manually choose the titles by ticking them off and then clicking the "Add" button.
*Note: To avoid having duplicate song files in the same location on your Mac, you can enable the "Filter Converted" option in this step. When activated, TunePat will detect existing tracks and gray them out, making them unselectable in the current list.
Tips:
If you convert music from TIDAL App, you can add the desired TIDAL music for conversion by simply dragging and dropping the target item onto the designated location, or copying and pasting its link for analysis. The parsed content will appear in a popup window, allowing you to select the desired tracks. Click the "Add" button to include them.
Step 2. Change the Output Settings As you Preferences
Before proceeding to convert your desired content from the TIDAL app or TIDAL web player, it is essential to configure the output settings. To do this, click on the "Settings" option on the left of the menu bar.
Within this window, you can customize various parameters according to your preferences. These parameters include the conversion mode (Intelligent Mode, Convert Mode, YouTube Mode), output format (AUTO, MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ALAC), bit rate, sample rate, and the option to enable automatic pop-up windows after conversion. Additionally, you can choose how Tidal output files are named and organized based on your requirements.
Tips:
1.If you wish to obtain music with the same parameters as the source file (For example, want to save HiRes sound quality), simply select "Auto" as the output format. This mode also provides the fastest conversion speed.
2. When you choose "Convert Mode", you will see a 1x speed conversion button to choose from. When your network speed is poor, in order to ensure the output quality of your audio files, it is recommended to check this button.
3. You can see a "Save lyrics (if provided)" button in this module, which is enabled by default. It allows users to get and download lyrics in LRC or TXT format. If you don't need it, close it.
Step 3. Export TIDAL Music as Local Files
Step 1 The selected TIDAL songs will be saved in the main interface of the program. At this point, you have two options. If you wish to continue selecting more songs for conversion, click the "Add More" button on this interface. Alternatively, click the "Convert" button to initiate the conversion process for all the songs listed on the current page. If you accidentally choose the wrong song, you can use the "Delete All" button to clear the current list with a single click.
Step 2 Once the conversion is complete, you can navigate to the "Converted" module to find the successfully converted TIDAL songs. From there, you can directly transfer them to iTunes, or transfer them to any other devices of your choice. This allows you to enjoy your TIDAL music tracks anywhere and at any time.
