Now Tidal is only available in the United States on Alexa. That means you need a U.S. account so that you are able to stream Tidal music to any Alexa device in your home.
If Tidal on Alexa is not currently supported in your region, you can use Macsome Tidal Music Downloader, which is specially designed for Tidal subscribers to download Tidal tracks, albums, or playlists to local files with the common audio format, including MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF and ALAC with hi-fi audio quality.
