**TIDAL HAS INCREASED ALL PRICES AUG 2023 - FAMILY HIFI PLUS (6 USERS) IS NOW 890 ARS OR $4.87 AUD / MONTH **. If you can find 6 people to share, still a killer deal for lossless better than CD quality streaming compared to Spotify. Ignore prices below.

Tidal Family Hifi (6 Users) - $0.84 a month, Tidal Family Hifi Plus (6 Users) - $1.31 a month. For single user plans, it's currently $0.58 a month for Hifi and $0.84 for Hifi Plus. Aug 1st 2023 price increase for Single Users: Hifi 380 ARS/ $2.22 a Month. Hifi Plus 570ARS/ $3.33AUD a Month. There is no price increase notice yet for Family plans.

Note: You don't need a VPN for playback, just during signup. After signup, you can switch off your VPN and use Tidal streaming as normal on any device anywhere.

Tidal Hifi - CD quality 16-bit/44.1 kHz, 1411kbps Lossless. (Best for 99.9% of the population, 4 x better Bitrate than Spotify).

Tidal HiFi Plus - MQA 24-bit/96 kHz, 9216kbps Lossless. (Seriously not needed unless you have compatible high end audio gear).

Spotify (For comparison) - 320kbps Lossy (Compressed).

Original post from 2022: Member OzBerghainer.

Note: This works for new accounts only. Make a new account with a different email.

1. Turn on VPN to Argentina. (Use Tunnel Bear, PIA, Surfshark, etc)
2. Click on Ozbargain link. Single user plan top of page, Family Plans scroll down. Choose Hifi or HiFi Plus.
3. Ensure pricing shows ARS currency. If not, retry or try a different VPN. (Important)
4. Click through the registration process on the plan you want. Note: If it shows $145 in the later steps don't worry, the system means ARS 145.
5. Turn off VPN on Credit Card page as payment will not go through with VPN on. (Important)
5. Mastercard worked fine for me. Some have mentioned Visa Credit Card's don't work. See below for other Credit Card options.
6. After sign up, verify your email address (email will be in Spanish).
7. You no longer need the VPN and can use Tidal on any device normally.

Important Family Sharing Tip: When you invite “family” members to your Family Tidal plan via a link you email them, they MUST initially click through and register using VPN to Argentina for their confirmation or else they will get rejected. After confirmation, they can then use Tidal without VPN on any device.

UPDATES FROM COMMENT SECTION:

If you use NordVPN, it doesn't correctly connect to Argentina and fails to show ARS currency. Use Tunnel Bear VPN instead.
VISA Credit Card seems to not work. Verified working credit cards are Mastercard, 28 degrees Latitude, Coles Credit Card, Pre-Paid Mastercard from AusPost plus some other brands of cards, see comments.

        CD Quality lossless streaming butchers what you get from Spotify.

        @Diji: It implies that he breaks the cat apart and makes it worse than it used to be.

    Sorry overlooked this part:
    
    Advice if using family plan as per member outofgamut comment from the previous deal: When you invite “family” members to the plan they MUST click through / connect to Tidal via VPN to Argentina for their confirmation following the invite or they will get rejected. After confirmation, they can then use without VPN following that.
    
    Thanks for being so kind!
    - PainToad on 28/06/2023 - 07:23
      
      You might have a point actually. Not sure if the account has to be created on a VPN or just accepted on a VPN.
      
      My guess is both, which isn’t covered in the OP.

        @PainToad: It has to be created on VPN too.
        
        When creating an account, Tidal binds the account to that country and it can't be changed. Just had to do it myself for family members.

  Family members don't need to 'sign up', you just send them an 'Invite link' BUT they have to be on VPN Argentina to click the link and register their 'Family'. After registering, they can use Tidal without VPN. Just use Tunnel Bear VPN for all your family members to register them via links and that's it, switch off VPN.

But of a pain listening to Tidal on my car. Not sure why but Spotify auto play as soon as I turn the car keys, whereas with Tidal I need to manually open the app and hit play. I’m thinking to switch back to Spotify using the turkey deal because of this

Also I reckon Tidal algorithm is not as good as spotify

I've tried paying with a Wise visa, an Australian visa, and a US mastercard, and each time it tells me that the card can't be used. Any ideas? The charge is not showing up as declined on my bank end.

Your transaction could not be completed. This could be due to incorrect credit card details, an expired credit card, or restrictions from your bank. Please try again or use a different credit card. If you still have problems, please contact the bank that issued your card.

  For me the one-time Revolut Mastercard works to pay.
  
  (obviously only once, next month you get a couple of warning mails that your subscription is finished and transfer didn't work. Wait until it actually logs you out because you didn't pay and then readd the card. Adding it any earlier won't work because the payment is then scheduled to be 1-2 days later at which the one-off card isn't working anymore)
  - mutantx on 28/06/2023 - 13:00
    
    for those considering Revolut :
    It does cost additional to use Revolut .. .around $10 per month, (slightly cheaper if you go for an Annual fee structure) : but even with the Revolut service charge added in its still cheaper than the standard oz Tidal pricing structure.
    - linkser on 28/06/2023 - 18:24
      
      No, the standard, basic, version is for free including generating one-time credit card numbers. The premium plan is 10$/month but that one is not needed in this case.
      
      Not sure about the currency conversion rate, but last month I paid 145 ARS for 0.96 $
      - mutantx on 28/06/2023 - 19:39
        
        @linkser: that's especially good info to know .. i'm sure i was unable to get a Mastercard without opting for the premium (and saw advisories by other people or maybe on the Revolut website faq's to that effect also), that Visa was the sole option available on standard accounts… will attempt using standard for the next renewal cycle .

I have been using Tidal, not Spotify, for a while from Argentina. Works flawlessly, their currency is going down so it's even cheaper now. The only issue is their communication emails are in foreign language. Otherwise, all good on the app.

Been using this since July 2021. Gotta use a Mastercard now as some law created in Argentina last year means only Argentinian Visa cards can be used for payment. If you’re into higher quality audio, it’s brilliant. Has all the music I ever search for. And for this price it’s insane. Love it

For those who got the Plex deal, it included Plexamp to stream your Plex Music library.

I have found my music library to play more of the bigger bands, it always feels like the streaming apps only want to play the cheapest content and not major artists.

The downside is they restrict Plexamp for anyone not under your home account, which I don't agree with.

Bought it and tried moving my playlists from YT Music over to Tidal.
My favourite playlist has 265 songs, Tidal only had 154 of those (111 missing).

My "likes" playlist has 1215 songs, Tidal only had 839 of those (376 missing).

Apart from the high quality songs, it's hard to justify moving to Tidal exclusively over more mainstream stuff. It'd be awesome if they offered a wider library but made clear that it's low quality, with a few in high quality only…
- Dollar Dreamer on 28/06/2023 - 16:14
  
  In the last 6 months Tidal has seriously increased it's song library to match Spotify to now being pretty much not far behind. And many new top hit music actually release on Tidal months before Spotify now. The next 6 months I think Tidal will take over in size of library due to Spotify delaying their 'HiFi' tier plans.

    The thing for me, though is that I'm not a pop/hip-hop guy.
    
    I'm more of a Metal, Power Metal, Symphonic Metal, and old-school Rock and Roll fan, so I'm getting the short end of the stick.
    I realise I'm in the minority, though, but it doesn't make it any less annoying that I can't simply replace YT Music (previously Google Music) with this from now on, as I like having the majority - if not all - of the library in high quality audio…

  Sometimes you have to give a new setting some time to get used to it. I also found Tidal initially slightly irksome being used to Spotify for so long but now find Tidal to be more leaner and easier to use with great recommendations. It takes a good month for the new platform to 'know' what you like.

I just moved back to Spotify after using Tidal for a year.

I wasn't happy with Tidal at all. Large gaps in the music library and bad app experience (desktop and mobile).

Good if you're an audiophile, but to my untrained ears, Spotify's 320kbps are good enough for me.
