- nxc18 6y agoThey seem to have a developer program but it requires an application (according to the site). I used a website to transfer my Spotify playlist to Tidal before this recent change. I hope Tidal is prepared to take advantage of Spotify’s customer loyalty bonfire. Not having a strong developer offering isn’t a great look.
- kingosticks 6y agoI applied a few years ago when it became available in my country but I'm still waiting for them to contact me with the outcome. So they failed the trial I gave their service. Perhaps you have to post some money along with your application. It's a shame, there used to be support in mpd for Tidal but since they won't share their API documentation it's now "defunct". I don't understand the game these streaming companies are playing. Is it some kind of security through obscurity or have they crunched the numbers and the costs outweigh the gains. They've had years to take advantage of Spotify's mis-steps so I won't hold my breath. There are some reverse engineered API packages out there for Tidal. They might work but that's not what I'm looking for as a paying customer.
