"How do I add Tidal music on Windows Media Player? I want to burn Tidal music into a CD to play in the car. Please help."

"Is there any way to play Tidal music to Windows Media Player? I plan to import Tidal songs to WMP before my HiFi free trial ends. Any suggestion?"

Windows Media Player (WMP) is a free but handy media player and media library application. It enables users to play music, watch videos, view images, burn and rip CDs with ease. Besides, it's a great tool for managing and organizing your music library on your Windows PC. However, it is a pity that it can't read music tracks from streaming music platforms such as Tidal, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, etc. Because all streaming music services come with DRM encryption. If you are a Tidal music lover who are seeking for a way to add Tidal music to Windows Media Player, then this guide is for you! Today, we will introduce an easy way to play Tidal music on Windows Media Player.

Why You Can't Add Tidal Music to WMP Directly

Although you can play your local music with Windows Media Player, but when you try to import Tidal music to Windows Media Player for playback, you would inevitably encounter difficulties in your work. Generally, you can only play Tidal songs on compatible devices with the Tidal Music App installed. Even the Tidal HiFi subscribers cannot take any downloaded Tidal songs out of Tidal Music app.

The reason behind is that Tidal uses DRM technology to encode all music contents, which restricts you from using Tidal music on other media players, such as Windows Media Player, iTunes, VLC Media Player, Plex, etc. Luckily, Windows Media Player supports many popular audio formats, such MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AIFF, WMA, etc. To transfer Tidal music to Windows Media Player and other music players/apps, you need to crack Tidal DRM and download Tidal music to local MP3, WAV, AIFF, FLAC, M4A files. In such case, why not ask help from a third-party Tidal Music Converter? Here you can turn to UkeySoft Tidal Music Converter.
