Step 2. Set Output Format and Quality
Click the Settings icon to customize the output parameters: conversion mode, output format (Recommended, MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, or ALAC), bit rate, sample rate, output file name, output organization, and more.
Tip: With "Record Mode" and the "Recommended" output format, the output keeps the original HiRes FLAC quality of the source track, up to 24-bit/192 kHz. MP3 and AAC are compressed formats, so choose them only when file size matters more than quality.
Step 3. Log in to TIDAL Web Player

Note: NoteBurner needs to work with a TIDAL account, but it will never take any information from your account other than the songs.
Step 4. Add TIDAL Playlists to NoteBurner
Open a playlist in the TIDAL web player, then click the "Add" icon in the bottom-right corner.
Tick the tracks you want from the list and click "Add".
Step 5. Start Converting
Click the "Convert" button to start converting TIDAL songs to MP3 or the format you selected.
Step 6. Find the Converted Files
After the conversion is done, open the "History" section to find the converted TIDAL songs on your Mac.
3. Edit Music Tags as Needed
The program retains the original quality of TIDAL music and keeps all ID3 tags after conversion. You can also edit all the important meta information by clicking "Tools" > "Tag Editor".
