You can use Plexamp as a Tidal client. I do this for offline music. Works on desktop too 🙂

Need a Plex server though :/

Also cost $6.50AUD a month, way too much.

I don't think you need a Plex server to use the tidal feature.

Btw Plexamp seems to be free (with a few restrictions) to everyone now and not just Plex pass subscribers (which admittedly was expensive if you only used Plexamp and didn't have a life time sub like me)

How do you set it up without a server. I can't get past this screen

Plexamp Select a Library screen

Edit: Also on that web page is says that downloads are locked behind Plex Pass, that's pretty vital...

Good question. The website FAQ says that tidal can be used without a webserver but I have never tried it personally.
