Tidal now offers over six million songs in hi-res FLAC format courtesy of its latest app update.
As we reported back in April, Tidal CEO Jesse Dorogusker announced via an AMA session over on Reddit that Tidal “will be introducing hi-res FLAC for our HiFi Plus subscribers soon”. A following statement suggested these could reach HiFi Plus subscribers in August, and right on cue here they are. (If only Spotify could be so punctual with its hi-res promises…)
The hi-res FLAC streams sit alongside the service’s current MQA-powered hi-res streams, which have required HiFi Plus subscribers to have a device or software capable of decoding the MQA technology, such as the mobile apps or an MQA-compatible music streamer. By adding hi-res FLACs to its library, the service’s high-resolution streaming offering is more accessible than ever before.
