You can back up your TIDAL liked songs or playlists by using a transfer tool that allows you to export your data to a file format. One method, as described in the reference, involves using a service like FreeYourMusic to select TIDAL as your source and a file backup as your destination.
Backing up your TIDAL playlists ensures you have a copy of your curated music collection separate from the streaming service itself. This can be useful for peace of mind or transferring your list to another service later. While TIDAL doesn't offer a direct built-in export to a file, third-party tools can facilitate this process.
Steps to Backup TIDAL Liked Songs to a File
Based on the provided reference, here is a common approach using a music transfer application:
1. Choose Your Source Platform
The first step is to identify where your music currently resides. In this case, your source is TIDAL. You will typically need to connect the transfer tool to your TIDAL account.
2. Select Your Destination
You want to create a backup file. The reference specifies selecting File Backup as the destination platform. This means the tool will export your playlist or liked songs list into a format like CSV, TXT, or JSON, which you can save on your computer.
3. Select Music to Transfer
Decide what content you want to back up. The reference specifically mentions selecting liked songs for the transfer. Depending on the tool, you may also be able to select specific playlists you have created or saved.
4. Initiate the Transfer
Once you have selected the source (TIDAL), the destination (File Backup), and the specific content (liked songs/playlists), you can start the transfer process. The tool will then read your selected music from TIDAL and write it to the chosen file format on your device.
Here's a simplified view of the process:
| Step | Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Select Source | TIDAL | Connect the tool to your TIDAL account. |
| 2. Select Dest. | File Backup | Choose to export to a file format. |
| 3. Select Content | Liked Songs / Playlists | Choose which lists to back up. |
| 4. Transfer | Export Data | Save the list to a file on your device. |
Using a method like this allows you to create a tangible copy of your TIDAL music lists outside the streaming platform itself, providing a simple way to safeguard your collection.
