Why Release on TIDAL?

Let listeners hear more of your music

Sound quality is one of TIDAL's defining features.

TIDAL supports lossless FLAC and HiRes FLAC, allowing listeners with compatible equipment to hear music at significantly higher quality than conventional compressed streaming.

HiRes FLAC can support audio up to 24-bit/192 kHz when an appropriate master has been delivered, giving artists and producers an opportunity to present their recordings closer to the quality of the original master.

Bring your music to Dolby Atmos

TIDAL also supports Dolby Atmos Music, an immersive audio format that allows music to be mixed in a three-dimensional sound space.

For artists releasing an eligible Dolby Atmos master, this provides another way for listeners with compatible devices to experience the production beyond a conventional stereo mix.

Stereo and Dolby Atmos versions require the appropriate masters and delivery specifications.

Manage your presence through TIDAL Artist Home

TIDAL Artist Home gives artists and authorised team members greater control over their presence on the platform.

Artists can claim their profile, manage profile information, and give team members access to help manage their presence.

Maintaining an accurate artist profile is especially important when multiple artists share similar names or when you're moving an existing catalogue between distributors.

Reach listeners through editorial and personalised discovery

TIDAL combines human curation with personalised music discovery.

Listeners can discover music through editorial playlists, personalised mixes, recommendations, new-release experiences, and genre and mood collections.

This gives artists opportunities to reach listeners beyond people who already search for their music directly.

Put your music in the hands of DJs

TIDAL has a particularly strong connection with the DJ ecosystem through its DJ Extension.

Listeners with the appropriate TIDAL plan and DJ Extension can access eligible catalogue music through supported DJ platforms and software such as Serato, rekordbox, and djay Pro.

For electronic artists, producers, remixers, and other music frequently played by DJs, this creates an additional environment where releases can be discovered and used.

Frequently
Asked Questions

How do I get my music on TIDAL?

You can get official releases onto TIDAL through a music distributor such as Euphoria. Upload your music, artwork, and metadata to Euphoria, and we can deliver your release to TIDAL alongside hundreds of other digital music platforms.

Can I upload music directly to TIDAL?

Yes. TIDAL now offers TIDAL Upload, which allows eligible users in supported markets to upload original music directly. Direct upload and distributor delivery serve different purposes: artists can use Upload to share music directly, while Euphoria can distribute official commercial releases to TIDAL as part of a wider release across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other DSPs.

What is TIDAL Artist Home, and how do I claim my artist profile?

TIDAL Artist Home provides artists and their teams with tools to manage their presence on TIDAL. Artists can claim their public artist profile and verify their identity through one of TIDAL's supported verification methods. Once approved, artists can manage their profile and give authorised team members access.

Does TIDAL support lossless and Hi-Res music?

Yes. TIDAL supports lossless FLAC and HiRes FLAC. Standard lossless FLAC can provide CD-quality audio, while HiRes FLAC can reach up to 24-bit/192 kHz when a suitable master is available. The quality listeners receive depends on the audio supplied to TIDAL, their settings, subscription, and playback equipment.

Can I release my music in Dolby Atmos on TIDAL?

Yes. TIDAL supports Dolby Atmos Music for eligible releases. Dolby Atmos requires an appropriately produced immersive master rather than simply converting a standard stereo file. If you plan to release an Atmos version, the required master and metadata must meet the applicable delivery specifications.

Can DJs access my music from TIDAL?

Eligible TIDAL catalogue music can be accessed through supported DJ software and hardware by listeners using TIDAL's DJ Extension. TIDAL integrates with platforms including Serato, rekordbox, and djay Pro, among others. Catalogue and functionality can vary depending on licensing and the individual DJ integration.

Can I choose my TIDAL release date & time?

Yes. When distributing through Euphoria, you can schedule your TIDAL release for a future date and a specific time. We recommend submitting your music in advance to allow enough time for platform processing and any promotional planning around your release.

Does TIDAL pay music royalties? How much?

Yes. Eligible streams on TIDAL generate royalties for music rights holders. TIDAL does not publish a single fixed amount that every stream pays, and actual earnings can vary depending on factors such as the listener's subscription, market, usage, and applicable licensing agreement. If your music is distributed through Euphoria, eligible TIDAL revenue will be included in your regular royalty reports and payouts.
