As a Tidal subscriber, you have access to roughly 60 million tracks – but that doesn't do you any good if you're in a location without internet access. Tidal allows you to download songs to your phone and play them back anytime, even if you are in Airplane Mode or if you don't have Wi-Fi and would prefer not to use your cellular data plan to stream audio.  

There are a few limitations to downloading in Tidal, though. First, you can only do this using a mobile app on your phone – you can't download tracks to your computer. Second, you can only download entire albums or playlists, not individual tracks. 

If you want to download from Tidal and listen to music offline, here's how to do it.
