Moving from Tidal to Qobuz, explained
This is a move between two audiophile services, so it is less about gaining fidelity and more about a shift in character. Both stream hi-res FLAC; where they part ways is emphasis — Tidal on artist credits and mainstream editorial, Qobuz on catalogue depth in classical and jazz, editorial booklets and even a store to buy music outright. FreeYourMusic reads your Tidal library through Tidal’s official sign-in and rebuilds your playlists, saved albums and followed artists inside Qobuz.
This guide covers what transfers, what cannot, how songs are matched, how long it takes, and the nuanced Tidal-versus-Qobuz comparison that matters to serious listeners. If you just want to start, install FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts and pick what to move — the detail is below.
What transfers to Qobuz, and what does not
Your playlists move with names and order preserved, saved albums come across and followed artists carry over. Liked songs do not transfer into Qobuz. Move everything or choose playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
A few things cannot follow. Tidal’s My Mixes and editorial picks are Tidal features, copying only as a snapshot. Both services are curated rather than exhaustive, so a track available on one may occasionally be missing on the other — more likely in mainstream pop than in the classical and jazz where Qobuz is especially deep.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Tidal song is matched to the same recording in Qobuz, preferring the ISRC code assigned to every recording and falling back to title, artist, album and duration otherwise. Because both services obsess over editions and masters, this precision is essential — you want the exact recording, not a stray compilation cut.
Where a track has no exact counterpart, FreeYourMusic flags it for one-tap Rematch rather than dropping it silently. That matters most in classical, where the same work exists in many recordings and choosing the right performance is the whole point of switching to a catalogue this deep.
How long does a Tidal to Qobuz transfer take?
Most transfers finish in minutes. With both accounts connected, around 1,000 tracks usually completes in under ten minutes. Larger libraries take longer, but the transfer runs on its own — start it and come back later.
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.
Tidal vs Qobuz: what actually changes
Since both deliver hi-res FLAC, the sound is comparable — the difference is what surrounds it. Tidal leans into artist-focused editorial, credits and a broad mainstream catalogue. Qobuz leans into classical and jazz depth, long-form editorial booklets, and the option to purchase and own albums outright rather than only streaming them.
For a serious listener the choice often comes down to repertoire and reading. If your library is rich in classical, jazz or reissues and you like liner notes and ownership, Qobuz is the more natural home; if it is broad and pop-leaning, Tidal’s emphasis may suit better. Moving costs you nothing but a few minutes to find out.
Do you need to keep Tidal while you transfer?
Yes — keep Tidal active until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your Tidal library while copying it into Qobuz, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Tidal only once you are satisfied.
Neither service has a permanent free tier, so you will need a Qobuz trial or subscription to receive the transfer while Tidal stays active for the move. Both connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Move a few favourite albums first and audition them in Qobuz — since both services are hi-res, focus your check on whether the matched editions and masters are the exact ones you wanted, especially for reissues. Tidy your Tidal playlists beforehand.
When the transfer finishes, resolve the Rematch list carefully, paying special attention to classical works where the performance matters. Then set Qobuz’s streaming quality to hi-res in settings and explore its editorial booklets on the albums you love.
Keeping Tidal and Qobuz in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. Some audiophiles keep both — Tidal for mainstream editorial, Qobuz for depth — and FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the two libraries on a schedule so a playlist addition on one turns up on the other.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Qobuz back to Tidal, if you ever want to. Your library stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Tidal and Qobuz, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.
