Unlike other music players like <em>Strawberry<\/em> or <em>Tauon<\/em> that also allow TIDAL streaming, <em>High Tide<\/em> is specifically designed for TIDAL, making it a unique offering in the Linux ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>Written in Python with a GTK4\/libadwaita UI, <em>High Tide<\/em> utilizes official TIDAL APIs for seamless playback. While TIDAL is known for being a music platform that prioritizes artist experience, it struggles with popularity compared to giants like Spotify due to the absence of a free tier. Nevertheless, it competes robustly in terms of features and music library.<\/p>\n<p>To use <em>High Tide<\/em>, you\u2019ll need an active TIDAL subscription. Logging in is straightforward, requiring just a click to authenticate via the TIDAL website. Upon logging in, users are greeted with a home screen filled with familiar sections, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>For You<\/strong> (with Daily Discovery)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recently Played<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Custom Mixes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Recommended Tracks and Albums<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Radio Stations<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Listening History<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Popular Playlists and Albums<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <em>Explore<\/em> tab offers options to search through genres, moods, activities, and more, making navigation user-friendly. Users can also manage their custom playlists and track favorites within the <em>Collections<\/em> tab.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its impressive feature set, <em>High Tide<\/em> is still a work in progress. The app has shown instances of interrupted playback that require a restart to rectify, and some features are either lacking or not fully operational. While it does not support music video playback, it does offer essential functionalities such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Playback quality control (low, high, lossless)<\/li>\n<li>Official playlists and recommendations<\/li>\n<li>Search capabilities for various media types<\/li>\n<li>Lyrics display and queue management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To try out <em>High Tide<\/em>, you&#8217;ll need to compile it from the available source code or download the latest auto-built <code>.flatpakref<\/code> from the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Nokse22\/high-tide\">project GitHub<\/a>, as it hasn&#8217;t yet been made available in repositories like Flathub or as Snap packages.<\/p>\n<p>While it currently lacks the reliability of alternatives like the open-source Electron-based <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.omgubuntu.co.uk\/2022\/07\/tidal-hifi-player-linux\">TIDAL HiFi<\/a>, there&#8217;s optimism for <em>High Tide<\/em> as it continues to develop and improve.
