Plex adds TIDAL streaming service to its media server platform to make available 60 million high quality tracks. Plex media server brings together music and video streaming into one customisable app. Subscribers to Plex will now have access to TIDAL’s catalogue of 60 million tracks, 244,000+ videos and unique editorial content with an exclusive deal that gives Plex and TIDAL plans starting at $9.99/month and $8.99/month for Plex Pass subscribers.
Users can seamlessly combine TIDAL’s catalogue together with other Plex features as well as existing personal media collections. A free trial is available here and there are a number of other subscription options which can potentially save you up to $60 a year off the price of both subscriptions.
“An incredible music and media experience is something that matters to both TIDAL and Plex users, and the addition of TIDAL’s music streaming service within Plex makes it the only solution that organizes and curates all major media types in one place,” said Keith Valory, CEO of Plex. “It’s another step closer to making all the media that matters to you accessible from one app, on any device, anytime.”
In addition to the entire TIDAL music catalogue other Plex features include:
- Artist Recommendations: On the artist page, Plex will recommend other artists you might like that aren’t in your library.
- Filling in Missing Albums: Plex will show you any missing albums from artists in your library.
- Augmented Artist Radio: Enhances the Plex artist radio feature, which generates a mix from a specific artist, to include tracks from TIDAL.
