Key Difference:

Using a Direct Link is great for sending a single playlist privately. Making a playlist Public is best for building your brand and letting followers see all your curated lists in one place.

Part 3. Advanced Method: Share Tidal Playlists without a Subscription

What if you want to share a Tidal playlist with a friend who doesn't have a Tidal account or wants to listen on a non-Tidal device? Because Tidal tracks are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM), you can't simply copy the file. The solution is to use a powerful third-party tool to convert and download the tracks as common audio files (like MP3).

At the same time, it can convert Tidal music to FLAC, WAV, MP3, AIFF, and more common audio formats while preserving its lossless quality. The downloaded playlists are yours so you can easily share them with your friends. Besides, you can listen to Tidal playlists on any device you want, even if it doesn't support the Tidal app.

How to Download and Share Tidal Playlists

Step 1Define Tidal Output Download Format

Launch the DRmare Streaming Audio Recorder from your computer and go to the 'Menu' icon and select 'Preferences' > 'Conversion'. For maximum compatibility and easy sharing, you can choose the MP3 output format. You can also adjust the bitrate and sample rate to maintain high quality.

Part 4. FAQs about Tidal Share Playlist

Can I share my Tidal account with my friends?

No, you should not share your personal account with friends for security reasons and to comply with Tidal's terms of service. However, if you have a Tidal Family Plan, you can add up to five additional family members to your account. Each member gets their own profile, library, and personalized recommendations.

Can you export playlists from Tidal?

Tidal does not have a native "Export Playlist" function to create a text file (like an M3U file) of your track list. The most effective way to truly export music is to use DRmare Streaming Audio Recorder to download the audio files themselves.

What happens when I share a playlist link with a non-Tidal user?

If you share a standard Tidal playlist link with someone who does not have the app or a subscription, they will be prompted to sign up or download the app. They will not be able to stream the music unless they become a Tidal user.

Are my playlists private by default on Tidal?

Yes. When you create a new playlist, it is set to Private by default. Only you can access it unless you specifically change its privacy setting to Public or share a Direct Link.

Part 5. Bottom Line: Share Tidal Music!

Sharing playlists on Tidal is a fundamental and enjoyable feature. Whether you choose the speed of a Direct Link, the social discoverability of a Public Profile, or the universal accessibility of a Tidal Music Converter, you have all the tools you need to spread the joy of Tidal HiRes FLAC music.
