However, whether you're an artist looking for exposure or someone wanting to upload personal music files for easy access, you won't be able to upload music through the Tidal app or web player.

Unlike Spotify or Amazon Music, Tidal doesn't allow users to upload their own music. This is because Tidal focuses on offering high-quality, curated content. The platform stands out by providing lossless audio and exclusive artist releases, and letting users upload their own music could affect the quality and selection Tidal strives to maintain.
