Although prices meant to go up on August 1. They did and now there not. Maybe it's a price error? That's why I am reposting the previous deal, I got the ok from mods to repost.

Tidal Family Hifi (6 Users) - $0.65 a month Note: There isn't a 12 month option. So you will pay month to month, price will change depending on the currency rate.

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, Urban VPN etc)
2. Click on Ozbargain link. Single user plan top of page, Family Plans scroll down. Choose Hifi
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 works fine. 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.
Update: “Unless you add a family member, your plan will automatically revert to Individual on the next billing cycle.”

MORE DETAILS SECTION:

  1. If you use NordVPN, it doesn't correctly connect to Argentina and fails to show ARS currency. Use Tunnel Bear VPN instead.
  2. 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.

    Just got charged for first time (since last post) and it was 83 cents. Works just as good (if not better) than apple music which wanted >$18 per month for same thing!

        When I migrated my spotify playlists to tidal a couple years ago maybe 20 of the 1200 or so songs I had in playlists were missing. YMMV based on what you listen to, but most stuff will be on there.

        • cactusjuice on 22/08/2023 - 00:04

          Yeah depends on the genre and even the language of tunes you listen to. But Spotify and Apple Music have a much larger and extensive library compared to Tidal.

      • Ostrich on 21/08/2023 - 15:54

        Yeah, most albums i listened to on apple music are there, maybe 1 out of 50 is missing.

    Creating Tidal accounts in Argentina is the tricky part, they can detect whether you're using a VPN and an error will pop saying Tidal is not available in your country. The family accounts you're trying to link will need to also created in Argentina. I imagine payment would equally be as painful.

    • elecpurch on 21/08/2023 - 15:03

    Price recently increased to 589 ARS for me. Was previously ~80 cents a month, now ~$2.60.

    Still an absolute bargain.

    • bohn on 21/08/2023 - 17:36

      yeah that's true, but if you go into your account now for your subscription, it has reverted to 225 for next month.

        Wow, it's saying it's reverting back to 145 for the September billing month for me. Very strange.

      If you care about lossless audio quality then YouTube music can't compare.

      • Wolfenstein98k on 21/08/2023 - 16:21
        +1

        Just make sure you are listening through a wired connection (to speakers/headphones) if you are using lossless.

        I see plenty of people paying extra for lossless and then using Bluetooth lol

        • justtoreply on 21/08/2023 - 18:17
          +2

          Whilst mine are corded, I think that's fair. There are other considerations than just quality

          Eg: I use my phone (v30+) instead of a DAC, and lossy material (v0 MP3) because I'm against bulk and wanted a big library (tho these days I stream). Yet I have $1200 canalphones. You can hear a big difference even if the chain is not perfect.

            +1

            @justtoreply: You are introducing more artefacts and commission with Bluetooth (even AptXHD) than 320kbps lossy, especially if it's AAC rather than MP3

            • justtoreply on 21/08/2023 - 18:27
              +1

              @Wolfenstein98k: Yeah but number 1 rule is whatever you do has to fit your lifestyle or it doesn't get used. Heaps of people want to use their BT headphones. It just suits them. They can probably hear a difference with tidal even if imperfect.. if it works for them, leave them to it. It can be better without needing to be perfect.

              Now if you could scientifically prove it didn't make it better, then yeah fine

                +1

                @justtoreply: Yep. At least 50% of my music listening time is in the car, and Tidal not being properly integrated with Google Assistant/Android Auto means it's a non-starter vs YT/Spotify in that situation. As a result I haven't used Tidal since the day I signed up and tested it out, despite it certainly sounding nicer when I did.

                  @kaneoriley: I've had tidal for 2 years, and for most of the first year Tidal was fine when getting in the car and connecting to bluetooth and playing music. Then an update occurred, and since then it's terrible. I set up tasker to get it working but it was a bit messy and not ideal. Spotify is much easier for the car.

                    @bohn: Yeah I think it worked once to autoplay what I had been listening to before I got in the car, but it has never worked when I tried to ask assistant to "play (song/artist) on tidal" which is my main use case, so I gave up.

                    When they add support to set Tidal as the default in Assistant, and it actually works with voice commands, I'll give it another go.

    • elecpurch on 24/08/2023 - 19:38

      I signed up for a trial on HiFi as I was curious to see how it casts from my Android phone to Sonos. On YouTube Premium I can't do this from the YouTube Music app. Tidal can cast from my Android phone to Sonos and the quality is definitely better than YouTube Music. Tidal app did NOT play along with the casting too well though. It freezes at times and when I skip a song (hit Next), it sometimes take a while to play the next song. Sometimes when I hit Next, it continues to cast the currently playing song to Sonos and plays the next song on the phone speaker. The app definitely needs some work and not worth it for me with those issues.

      • bohn on 24/08/2023 - 20:41

        The app definitely needs some work and not worth it for me with those issues.

      • G-rig on 24/08/2023 - 21:18

        Yeah I cast to raspberry pi running volumio, brilliant. Gapless playback is worth a lot to me and the reason I retired the Chromecast Audio anyway.

        It's just a different interface that people aren't used to, and works differently by but good when you know.

      yes, great using for PC as source setup - Get the Tidal Desktop App, can do MQA passthrough/ exclusive mode if you DAC supports that (not interested in an MQA debate) and easy to cast to devices, like my other setup (Raspberry Pi 4 with Volumio -> DAC -> active monitors :).

      I use it on the phone as well - Daily discovery is cool and the Ai algorithm suggests a lot of similar music over time. I hardly ever use YT music but moreso videos with the screen off.

    I thought a month ago I signed up for a Family plan but noticed that it the current plan is now Individual for $570. So I changed it to the Family plan which is currently $225 and noticed a fine print at the top of the page:

    “Unless you add a family member, your plan will automatically revert to Individual on the next billing cycle.”

    • webster2004 on 21/08/2023 - 16:45

      Can confirm the price dropped back to $225 for HiFi Plus Family. But I don't have that fine print because I have other members under this plan.

      • Agile on 21/08/2023 - 16:54
        +1

        Yeah, I didn’t bother adding the family members yet as I was still trialing the service. Currently they are happily using YouTube Music and don’t hear the difference in higher lossless quality on Tidal anyway. Neither can I to be honest.

          I only use some of those stations on a nest audio speaker etc. Any half decent headphones or speakers clearly benefit from the sound quality. But hey, good if they are happy with what they are using (and it's sometimes hard to convince people to bother).

    • Whatisthatvelvet on 21/08/2023 - 17:44

              @Scrooge McDeal: Worked on the Android app after quite a few attempts but not the browser extension for whatever reason. Thanks for the post!

            @Phesto: How did you get urban to work? I tried it in firefox (previous arg sub) and didn't go through.

              @azureo: Nothing special, just downloaded the extension and followed OP's steps, I didn't have a prior subscription though so maybe that changes things?
