And you tell us to rip the songs from tidal and play them offline on volumio.
Then if I want to use the suggested track on Tidal I have to do all the ripping thing again for each song Tidal suggests.
Sorry but this is not an acceptable solution, not even a solution.
Why not ditch volumio and go for piCorePlayer or mooode and at least get some Tidal integration and be done with the ripping stuff. And it’s free. I bet Tidizer isn’t.

Yes, switching to piCorePlayer or mooode is also an available way. But if you want to play Tidal music on devices that don’t support Tidal, Tidizer is the best tool for that. tidizer also has a free version for everyone to use.
