UPDATE 7/4/23: CONFIRMED STILL WORKING WITH VARIOUS VPNS AND CARDS; SEE COMMENTS

Reposting/reminding that Tidal can also be subscribed via VPN for massive savings. $1.48/month for Hi-Fi Plus is crazy value, with up to 9216 kbps
Master Quality Authenticated (MQA), Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and HiFi.

NOTE: If you are having issues with payment method, on the C.C. confirmation page, disable VPN before confirm to pay

Sign up is very easy. Note this works for new accounts only, existing accounts with old AUS subscriptions won't work and will convert to AUD when signing up. Just make a new account with a different email if this is you

1. Turn on VPN to Argentina. (Nordvpn, Surfshark both worked for me. Others likely do too.)
2. Click on deal link to pricing page, or here: https://tidal.com/pricing
3. Ensure pricing shows ARS currency. If not, try a different VPN.
4. Click through registration process on the plan you want. Note if it shows up with $145 in the later steps dont worry, the system clearly means ARS 145.
5. Australian credit mastercard worked fine for me. Trial period is 30 days, so you won't be charged till then anyway.
6. After sign up, you can turn off VPN, verify your email address (email comms will be in Spanish). Sign into your devices and play like usual, without a vpn required.

Please share your experiences with what VPN/cards you used to help others.

If you want to transfer your playlists over from other services, go to https://tidal.com/import-playlist

Hi-Fi plus is usually $23.99/month AUD.

Advice if using family plan as per outofgamut comment: Quick word of warning: when you invite “family” members to the plan they MUST connect to Tidal via VPN to Argentina for their conformation following the invite or they will get rejected. Can then use without VPN following that.

      Just open up the playlist on your new account and copy all songs to a new playlist and work out of there. Or use tune my music

  • superforever on 24/10/2022 - 21:45

    Is it possible to stream it to DAC on Windows PC with foobar like I play my local SACD or flac from foobar to DAC?

  • OzBerghainer on 24/10/2022 - 21:51

    Anybody know a good way to convert a chunk of FLAC's to WAV's without losing any quality? Or AIFF's. FLAC's just aren't fully friendly with all Pioneer DJ equipment

  • jollster101 on 25/10/2022 - 09:36

    Anyone know what the library is like for house music? I see various comments about Tidal being decent for mainstream artists and tracks. Not sure whether house music would fall into this.

    Listen to a fair bit of music on the Defected label and primarily aimed at more Glitterbox style remixes.

    If there was decent coverage for that at good quality I would jump on. Any info would be great.

    Cheers

        It’s just standard releases like Spotify. Just downloaded one of my Spotify playlists in FLAC - and they had all 300 or so of the deep house tunes that Spotify did. All defected releases should be there, quite a big label

    no issues for me - this is a great post too.

    NordVPN, ANZ CC, no need to turn off VPN for me.

    Agree that the web is slow during the process so be patient.

    Love the interface, love the file quality and enjoying the new Arctic Monkeys album. Was surprised to find hardly any De La Soul on there - not sure why?

    Edit - De La Soul omission is due to label dispute with Tommy Boy records (no one asked) 😂

        It's not working with visa card and to answer your question, it's a monthly payment and no way to delete your card once you have added it unless you replace it.

          I can't think of any other options to try. It seems that pre-paid cards that are issued in Argentina require some ID number to get approved. I tried using 'paysafecard' and filling it out as Argentinian but fell over at SMS verification, as they would only accept Argentinian phone numbers.

    I read this comment from Reddit and thought I would try.

    “ There are comments around here that 53/52 cards works, yet I don't know the significance of it.

    I didn't set it manually I just requested another virtual card via revolut and got exactly MC with 53 init numbers.

      • Nedkellyinthebush on 07/02/2023 - 18:00

        Did the payment go through? The fact that it accept the card as payment method doesn’t mean the payment will go through when they bill you

        Lots of people didn’t go through using Revolut, which is Mastercard. Yet starling (a Mastercard debit card from the uk) appears to work

        I set my 53 Macquarie card too, payment is due in 2 days. Let’s see

        • alexeiw123 on 07/02/2023 - 18:03

          My payment is due tomorrow, so will find out. I'm guessing if it does go through the there will be an international fee but so be it.

          It's one step further than I was getting with my Macquarie credit card, which was working previously but now won't even be accepted as a method.

          • Nedkellyinthebush on 07/02/2023 - 21:13

            @alexeiw123: The Macquarie card has reasonable international fees. Anyway mine is due in 2 days I'll post the outcome back here, hope you'll do the same! Cheers

          Not sure about this whole 53-thing.

          I have created a new one-use Revolut card, starting with 55 by chance, and the authorization with Tidal went through. Now waiting if they also charge in 2 days time. I did not try the normal Revolut card, which is Visa… might end up that I have to add a new payment method once per month then.

    A friend is subscribing to YouTube Premium in Argentina and got an email from them stating:

    Due to a recent change in Visa's processing policies in Argentina, payments may be declined if your card was not issued by an Argentine bank.

    So this would explain why Visa payments have been declined, and MasterCard payments have been accepted.

    My Tidal payment on my ING Visa Debit isn't due until later this month, so I presume I'll be switching to a MasterCard too.

    I too got the renewal problem email. I got a $50 Coles MasterCard, number starting with 51… Without using a VPN I updated the payment method, all good

      Has your account since been debited? I bought the same $50 prepaid card and updated my payment details but I'm still getting the 'unable to process your payment' email.

        Yeah it seemed like it worked but it failed. I"m out, so annoying…
