I just got an email from plex stating that it’s ending tidal integration support. Really a sad day. What is the reasoning? are we getting something else instead?

This really sucks. I would not had been so confortable with Plexamp without the ability, at the beginning, to fill up the gaps in my library with Tidal.
Oh well, time to cancel my Tidal’s subscription, I guess.

This is pretty terrible.
Tidal’s UI isn’t good and PlexAmp worked well with Tidal.
Having them disconnected from each other only worsens each service.

This is awful news, I’ve just read the email…
The whole reason I got Plex in the first place was Tidal and the integration to fill in the gaps in my music.
Please tell me they have another music streaming service lined up for integration as I don’t know what I’m going to do without the Tidal integration…
Also, what will happen to any of the songs we “added to library”? I presume they just won’t play… Meaning all my playlists are also screwed now…
This is a sad day ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹

I HOPE the “place holders” for Tidal songs that were integrated into playlists are removed so that playlists are not hooped. That would suck even more than the end of the integration.

I can’t say this was unexpected. I have been complaining about issues with the integrations for nearly a year at this point, and others have complained for much longer, but there has been no action from Plex or Tidal to resolve.
Tidal would still be the best streaming service, but I’m not sure if I’ll stick with Tidal or just use Plex.

Agreed, there have been quite a few issues that neither has tried to resolve, but I managed workarounds for all the integration issues I was having…

Agree that it had its problems but there has always been work around. I also dont see myself using Tidal seperatly from plexamp either. Its gonna be a hard pill to swallow since my library is about 50/50 plex/tidal.
I know this is the initial shock talking but its gonna drastically change how I consume music

@chrisc
Since the announcement topic is locked, going to just ask here.
How about “Why?”
Why is it being disconnected?
Also looks like this has been looming for a while as the announcement topic was first created 8 days ago, but I assume in a staff-only section.
Also, for a “What’s Next?”
What will fill the gap that is left behind by Tidal?
Please don’t say Spotify, and Last.FM isn’t good either.
What about Qobuz? It is the most similar.

Ah, well that sucks.
Wonder if it has anything to do with them offering their own “DJ Upgrade”.
Noticed that on their subscription page the other day.
Hopefully a suitable replacement can be added to PlexAmp.

Anyone know what will happen to tidal albums that I have added to my library? Will place holders still exist or is that data going to be lost?

@vitallish The short answer is the placeholders for things you added to your server libraries will not be automatically removed. Please see the questions toward the bottom of the forum announcement [TIDAL integration with Plex ending October 28, 2024](https://forums.plex.tv/t/tidal-integration-with-plex-ending-october-28-2024/885728)

Well, Tidal have screwed the pooch there, at least as far as my own subscription goes. I only signed up with them because it was the most cost effective way, as a hobbyist, to get streaming on my DJ mixer. They nixxed that when they made it an extra cost add-on, yet I stuck around for the Plex integration.
Without either of those Tidal has no value to me.

This sucks. Plexamp is the best music player anywhere, primarily due to the Tidal integration, but now it’s going to be COMPLETELY hobbled without a streaming service on the backend to surface new music that I don’t already have in my library. No more useful Guest DJ, no more creating playlists of music that’s not already in my library.
Just awful. Please tell me that Plex has another streaming service lined up??? Otherwise this is going to practically kill Plexamp for me and since that’s all I use Plex for, I’ll likely end up canceling my subscription. Sad because when I discovered Plexamp + Tidal, it gave me a music player that did everything I dreamed a music player should be. I’ve discovered so much music through it.

I guess more than half of the utility that I get from Plexamp is going away? I have a personal library of 85,000 songs and my playlists and mixes still pull a LOT from Tidal.

Just saying things does not make those things possible. As I mentioned above I am not making any false promises.

I was never suggesting that mentioning Qobuz, would make it possible. I am well aware how very difficult and complicated those deals can be.
I just wanted to mention Qobuz as an option. Nothing more.

This is exactly my problem too. Creating all my playlists and my library on another music streaming app is going to be a tiring transition.
