QuestionI have a few months left on my current Tidal membership. If I get this $119.99 a year deal will it add 12 months to my present membership?
Asked 5 years ago by TidalQuery.
- Answer I had a similar situation. The easiest way is to cancel your subscription through Tidal and on the day it ends completely, sign up through Best Buy. As of now Tidal bills you however; when you sign up through Best Buy you are billed through Best Buy. You will still be able to use the same credentials (username and password) you used when you started service with Tidal therefore you do not need to start a new account. All your favorites and playlist will remain. Hopefully you read this on time.

QuestionCan I cancel before my 3 month subscription end so I won't get charged if I don't like it?
Asked 4 years ago by Jenny.
- Answer Hello Jenny, Yes you can cancel before your three months end through your Best Buy Acct. You will not be able to cancel through Tidal since Best Buy is the vendor that's billing you. You have to log into your My Best Buy Acct and go to subscriptions to cancel or you can call Best Buy's 1-800 number. I hope this helps.

QuestionWhat's the time period in which you must activate service (i.e. within how many days of purchase)?
Asked 4 years ago by 02nz.
- Answer O2nz, no one has answered you question, "What's the time period in which you must activate service (i.e. within how many days of purchase)?" for 11 days now, and I had the same question. I phoned Best Buy Front End Leader, Casey Cass, at store #112. He said the Tidal subscription is considered a software sale by Best Buy, and the activation code has no expiration. Although Casey assured me over the phone the activation code could be used at any time, he advised me that Best Buy employees are not permitted by Best Buy to put this information in writing. That explains why this question was not answered by any Best Buy employee. Casey advised if there is any problem using the activation code, Best Buy will not assist. Instead Best Buy refers you to Tidal. Note, https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/sections/360002539918-Best-Buy states that subscription problems will be handled by calling Best Buy. So good luck!

QuestionCan anyone tell me what exactly is the difference between HiFi and HiFi Plus is? Besides the $5 more a month.
Asked 3 years ago by Cooker.
- Answer Yes. So, tidal has several different qualities for music. The standard HiFi gives you hifi quality as your best option. Hifi plus, goes a step further and introduces master quality audio which streams at a much higher bit rate. There are some complicated discussions of whether or not master quality is noticeably better, but in some instances it can be noticeable. Notably in older songs, master quality audio is essentially a remastering of the song in a sense. Don’t quote me, I’m not a pro at the topic but that’s what I’ve gathered so far. Hope it helps!

QuestionHEOS does not unbundle MQA files. MQA will play at cd quality rate 16 bit 44.1 kHz, unles you have a streaming media player like a Bluesound node that can unfold MQA to its higher resolution.
Asked 4 years ago by Fm.
- Answer This looks more like an answer than a question! HEOS cannot process MQA at hi-res through a Denon AVR. Another non-HEOS alternative may be to stream through the Windows PC Tidal app using a MQA-enabled USB DAC that provides a stereo cable connection to an analog input of a Denon AVR. This might also be done with an Android device having a USB-C port and a USB-C-to-USB adapter but it would need the USB Audio Player Pro app with MQA feature that is not free. I have not tried either of these.

QuestionI use Roon (music manager software) - will this work with Roon (in Roon, I would need to put my Tidal username and login)? Here is a link to their website: www.roonlabs.com Thank you.
Asked 4 years ago by Stew.
- Answer I currently use mine successfully with Roon, you just need your resulting TIDAL username(email) and login that you set up in the subscription. It works just the same whether you're paying TIDAL directly or as a Best Buy subscription offer.

QuestionIf my tidal subscription is fully cancelled and the time has run out on it before I purchase this, will it work on my current account? I plan to get this and cancel the auto-bill right away and then just repurchase after the year is also up.
Asked 2 years ago by Skippy.
- Answer You can but you have to manage your subscription on the Best Buy website or app. Just use the code, or buy it and save it until your ready. But when you use it, go to Best Buy.com and find your subscription details. It says in the menu in tidal to go to a link too if it’s hard to find.

QuestionTidal recently changed their plans & their "Hi-Fi" plan no longer includes Masters content. For masters content you must now purchase Tidal Hi-Fi Plus. Accounting for Tidal's recent product change, does this plan still include Masters content?
Asked 3 years ago by HiFiMusic.
- Answer YES! This package is now effectively Hi-fi PLUS. Tidal emailed subscribers like myself, informing us of the upgrade shortly after the new tier system became effective. I've always loved Tidal, and was thrilled with this change.

QuestionIf I purchase the 3 month as a "trial" since it is on sale and decide I like it, can I later (while) still on sale buy the 1 year and qualify as a new customer if I use a different email address or will I need to setup a new Best Buy account? Details pls?
Asked 4 years ago by Snagtooth.
- Answer That worked for me. The only down side is that you have to set up your favorites and playlists again. You can always try to use it with your current trial. If it rejects you then set up a new email and start over.
