Thanks for your report. Do you have the tidal max plan? Can you post the link of the song so I can try to re-produce it?

Song is https://tidal.com/browse/track/68646787

The downloaded Song is indeed an MQA song, which gets upscaled from 24 bits/48kHz to 24 bits/192kHz.

I don't think there can be done much, as the download is handled by the tidalapi package and not this downloader itself.

The only way to get true 24 bits/192kHz FLACs is by grabbing a token from the official application itself. 3rd party applications via browser login (like this one) only get 24 bits/48kHz max.

I think I know why this happens. Only the following devices are allowed to download MAX: https://tidal.com/supported-devices?filter=hires-flac

Thus, I need a client_id and the client_secret of one of these devices to be able to enable this app to download MAX. This needs some serious reverse engineering. Let me see, what I can do.

I also do not have a TIDAL MAX plan, which makes it hard for me to test.

Does anybody know a TIDAL GitHub project, which is able to download with MAX resolution?

[exislow]

I think I have found the solution. But I need a temporary TIDAL MAX account to finish development. It would be really helpful, if anybody likes to donate something / create me a temporary family account with a TIDAL MAX subscription to be able to finish this issue.

Thanks a lot! I did, just waiting for you to confirm my friend request.

[rgnet1]

Oh I don't think I got it. Put a dot in front: .rumz

I forgot discord does that
