I currently have a HIFI subscription in Tidal, but in the 4stream app it shows me a PREMIUM subscription and High quality (I cannot select HIF quality in this app). Please help me on how to change the quality from High to HFI.
Hi @michalpj Michal,
Welcome to the Forum. I have actually been through the same issue with one of my clients. If you look the way Spotify works (using a technique called Spotify Connect).
On Mobile Devices (Android and iOS)
- PUSH Method - Launch Spotify App then select Arylic as OUTPUT Devive
- PULL Method - Launch 4STREAM APP the select Spotify Service. The UI is the same.
With Tidal the PULL Method has a different more limited UI.
I guess the ultimate solution is for Arylic (or Linkplay) to implement “Tidal Connect”; which does exist. It is obviously more work and they can only do so many things at once. The last time I asked there we no immediate plans to implement Tidal Connect.
By the way you can achieve HIFI Quality by playing from a Laptop by using the Tidal Desktop App or Web Browser Interface.
Hope this helps,
Kevin
Select a song to start playing, and open the Now Playing bar. From here you can see the Tidal streaming quality. Or open Tidal Settings and select Streaming > Quality > HiFi. You can also download Tidal HiFi for offline listening. But it is not convenient for me since I own an MP3 player. So I used Tunelf Tidal Music Converter to help me download Tidal and remove DRM.
You can change the streaming quality in the settings. It’s important to note that not all songs provided by the artists on Tidal can reach the max quality. Some of them can only reach the low or high quality. This is something you cannot change. If you want to ensure every song is played in the highest quality, you can use ViWizard Tidal Music Converter, which helps you convert to mp3.
