Moving from SoundCloud to Tidal, explained
If the tracks you discovered on SoundCloud have grown into a collection you want in the best possible quality, Tidal — with HiFi and HiRes FLAC — is a strong destination for the officially released ones. FreeYourMusic reads your SoundCloud library through SoundCloud’s official sign-in and recreates it inside Tidal — playlists, liked tracks and followed artists, wherever Tidal carries them.
This guide explains what transfers, what cannot, how songs are matched, how long it takes, and how the two services really differ. If you just want to begin, install FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts and pick what to move — the detail is below.
What transfers to Tidal, and what does not
Your playlists move with names and order preserved, liked tracks arrive as favourites and followed artists carry over where Tidal has them. Move everything or choose playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
Be realistic here: SoundCloud’s independent uploads, remixes and DJ sets rarely appear in Tidal’s curated, licensed catalogue. Officially released tracks match well; artist-uploaded originals, edits and unsigned material usually have no counterpart and are flagged rather than forced.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each SoundCloud track is matched to the same recording in Tidal, preferring the ISRC code where a release carries one and falling back to title, artist and duration otherwise. For music that had an official release, this works reliably.
For uploads unique to SoundCloud there may be no match, and FreeYourMusic never pretends otherwise — anything without a clean counterpart is flagged for one-tap Rematch, so you can find the official master if one exists.
How long does a SoundCloud to Tidal transfer take?
Most transfers finish in minutes. With both accounts connected, around 1,000 tracks usually completes in under ten minutes, though checking each SoundCloud upload can add a little time. Larger libraries take longer, but the transfer runs on its own.
FreeYourMusic runs natively on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, so the move is not tied to one machine. Start it on your laptop and check progress on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
SoundCloud vs Tidal: what actually changes
These services sit at opposite ends. SoundCloud is the open frontier of unsigned artists, remixes and DJ mixes, with a free tier and rough-edged uploads. Tidal is the audiophile mainstream, delivering HiRes FLAC, credits and editorial around a curated, licensed catalogue.
Moving to Tidal gives you top-tier sound and record context for licensed music. What you leave behind is exactly the raw, independent material SoundCloud exists for — so keeping SoundCloud alongside Tidal usually makes more sense than fully switching.
Do you need to keep SoundCloud while you transfer?
Yes — keep SoundCloud active until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your SoundCloud library while copying it into Tidal, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move.
SoundCloud has a free tier, but Tidal has no permanent free tier, so you will need a Tidal trial or subscription to receive the transfer. Both connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Because so much of SoundCloud is independent, transfer a representative playlist first and review the matches — it tells you honestly how much of your library has an official Tidal presence before you move everything. Tidy your playlists beforehand.
When the transfer finishes, work through the Rematch list to find official masters for former SoundCloud uploads. Then set Tidal to HiFi or HiRes and keep SoundCloud for the raw material Tidal will never carry.
Keeping SoundCloud and Tidal in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. Since many listeners keep both — SoundCloud for discovery, Tidal for sound — FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries on a schedule so a track you like on SoundCloud appears on Tidal where it exists there.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Tidal back to SoundCloud, if you want. Your collection stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect SoundCloud and Tidal, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.
