Tidal

My partner and I have shared a Tidal account for years and years, like we share bookshelves and closet space and record collections. We build playlists together, and it’s fun to see what the other is listening to, etc. Recently tidal stopped allowing the “offline mode” method so we could both stream music from the same account while at work. Lame. So we upgraded to the “family” plan thinking that would let us both use the same account again, but no. It appears to just give you the option to make additional accounts with their own login and separate collection. Wtf?!

Is there seriously no way for two people to use the same account and listen simultaneously, even in offline mode? Even paying for the most expensive subscription??

Been using tidal for a couple months now and really like it. So i decided to upgraded to the family plan so wife can also use it. Turns out only one person can “stream” at a time. If the wife begins to “stream” her play list while I’m streaming mine she will bounce me offline and vise versa.

Reading the fine print Tidal says only one person on the family plan can stream at a time. The others (up to 5 accounts), can only use the app in offline mode while someone else is streaming. Kind of defeats the purpose of “family plan”.

Love to hear some thoughts on this or maybe I’m missing something.

Thanks in advance for the discussion.
