Part 5. Tidal Family Plan Problems & Fixes [Real-Case Examples]

I've gathered some common issues Reddit users have reported regarding the Tidal Family Plan, particularly problems with adding members and simultaneous playback. Below, I'll go through each issue and provide possible solutions.

Problem 1: Couldn't Add Members to Tidal Family Plan

A Reddit user, Benji25_17, shared that they encountered an error while trying to add members. Tidal prompted them to "reload the page and try again."

🌟 FYI: Couldn't Add Members to Tidal Family Plan

Solution:

• Double-check that the invited member's email address is correct.
• Ensure the member lives in the same country (IP address must match).
• Confirm that the invited member is not currently part of another family plan.
• Make sure the member is not on a trial subscription.

Problem 2: Can't Listen to Music Simultaneously

Another user mentioned that they and their wife couldn't listen to music at the same time under the Family Plan. This issue is already covered in the "How many devices can you have on Tidal Family Plan?" section of the FAQ.

🌟 FYI: Can't Listen to Music Simultaneously

Solution:

• To stream simultaneously, each family member should use their own individual Tidal account, not the same login.
• The Family Plan includes six separate accounts, not one account for six people.

Problem 3: Can't Listen at the Same Time or Share Playlists

This issue is similar to Problem 2 but also highlights another frustration: Tidal Family Plan member has a separate music collection, meaning they cannot co-create or share playlists directly.

🌟 FYI: Can't Listen at the Same Time or Share Playlists

Solution:

• Follow each other's Tidal profiles and save each other's playlists to your library.
• Check out this complete guide on transferring Tidal playlists for workarounds.

Part 6. How to Share Playlists without Tidal Family Plan

While the Tidal Family Plan allows up to six accounts to stream music separately, each account remains independent. The Tidal Family Plan restrictions may frustrate some users as it is difficult to share music with family members. More importantly, once the family plan expires, all members lose access to their Tidal music collections.
