## What it is
Tidal-Media-Downloader is an application for downloading tracks, albums, playlists, videos, and artist discographies from the TIDAL streaming service. It ships as tidal-dl, a Python CLI/interactive tool, and tidal-gui, a Windows GUI built in C#.

## Use cases
- download tidal albums and tracks to flac
- rip a tidal playlist to local files
- batch download an artist's discography from tidal
- download tidal music videos in 1080p
- save tidal master-quality audio offline
- convert downloaded mp4 audio to m4a with metadata

## When to choose
- you have a TIDAL HiFi subscription and want offline copies of tracks, albums, or playlists
- you want a scriptable command-line downloader that runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, or Android via Termux
- you prefer configurable output naming, quality (Normal to Master), and cover art saving

## When to avoid
- you do not have a paid TIDAL subscription, since content requires an account
- you need a polished GUI on Linux or macOS (the GUI is Windows-only)
- you want a tool for other streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music
