TIDAL Embeds - full-length playback using Nostr authentication and open sourced!
1/ Add your npub to your TIDAL account
2/ Add a NIP-07 extension to your browser, for example nos2x
3/ Load the TIDAL embed player, login, sign and enjoy

Not seeing a TIDAL Embed? Help us, or your Nostr client, to fix it!
It worked :)
Unfortunately I can't play any music with the free account :(
But this commitment to Nostr might bring me back to the premium account...
Stopped supporting free accounts a little while back
Thanks for pointing this out! Deployed a fix so that you get preview/clips served also with free/intro account. For full length, a subscription is needed.
Awesome! Where in Tidal do you add npub?
Found it in online account (not in app)
Whoa, open source! Cant see npub in the web player?

you have to go to the tidal website and in the account settings you will see it.
This is awesome! Is this just for the web player or is it possible in the app as well?
Thanks! Auth with Nostr is currently only available in our embed player.
Maybe in a future update?
Great progress!!
Some feedback:
Primal - didnt embed
Snort - embed worked, login seemed to work, but could not hit play
Nostrudel - no embed shown
Coracle - no embed shown

Thanks for the feedback! I see @enjikaka has a request for getting it to work for Primal. I believe similar updates will be needed for other clients as well.
Brilliant work. Been trying to get SSO at web scale working 10+ years.
What is event kind 9467?
You may want to look at NIP98 which was created for the single sign-on use case
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/98.md
We started making this before NIP-98, so we created the 9467 kind event for our use case. I suppose we'll check NIP-98 out and see if we can replace it with that. :)
Awesome work. I'd highly recommend NIP-98, if you at all get a chance to look at it. It's just an auth header to a server, and it scales really well. The extensions can already sign events, so it's easy. NIP07 is used in a bunch of places, and I use it in nosdav for personal storage too. I see this pattern scaling to billions of users.

This little shim contains all the code

Wow you’ve been working on this for over a year?
Glad to see it come to life!
Some other projects had to come inbetween but happy to finally get it out! 🥳
Wow. Glad to see that you've been working so long on this. I hope we can see additional integrations, such as status updates with the current song we're listening to 🥹
Was wondering what a kind 9467 was! Totally late to the party but congrats @TIDAL ! Ecstatic to see this in action. 💜🙏😊
After refresh worked on snort, woo!
This is awesome. Just added my npub.
is this free or does it require a subscription?
In order to play full length content you need a subscription. Without a subscription, you'll be served previews/clips.
Appreciate the response. Don't really want to pay for new subscriptions RN, but if yall put in nostr wallet connect subscriptions and NPUB signups I will reconsider.
I do have a Tesla with the Tidal app and it would be badass to have a Bitcoin-Nostr based audiophile platform in there.
Minor thing: when entering the npub in the web UI, it displays the hex key. I prefer hex personally, but artists being artists may want some vanity npubs.
The best way to make a vanity npub is with rana :
> rana -n stefan

Which mobile client will add this first?
Dearest @Vitor Pamplona, the Master of NIPs, I humbly request this feature in Amethyst.
@stefanmoro, any thoughts on adding Nostr status updates to TIDAL web and mobile to show the song that you're currently listening to?
can one pay for tidal with btc?
i dont have tidal or spotify or youtube premium or soundcloud 😞
i am in commercial land
would you WANT to use Bitcoin for that? Maybe down the road, but for now I'll use dirty fiat
Well, yeah, doxxing yourself via linking your npub to your bank isn't ideal
Worked great. very cool!
Are there plans to have more nostr features and possibly lightning zaps integrated with tidal in the future?
Just Tidal integrating #theNostr
Are you paying attention?

Just signed-up to the family plan - this was the nudge I needed!
Goodbye Spotify.
Running TIDAL.

What about Tidal paying artists direct for streams with transparent accounting and no middle men?
Thats amazing actually

Tidal’s metadata needs improvement and better opengraph integration, it’s the reason folks won’t see a play button on tidal links where they will on spotify links
Had quite the challenge on primal… can see multiple tries on my profile ✨
Out of curiosity, what clients currently support the embedded player?
We're using oEmbed.com, snort supports it and hopefully other web based Nostr clients will too.
Cool, totally makes sense! Thanks for your hard work! 💪
NGL this is pretty damn cool.

"It is now possible for TIDAL users to connect their Nostr and TIDAL accounts in the Account Dashboard. A Nostr account consists of a keypair created with the Schnorr signatures standard for the curve secp256k1.
A private key and a public key represents your Nostr account. The private key is your secret password which you do not share with anyone. The public key (npub1) is your official “address” which lets users find you to follow you or share content with you on the network. By providing the public key in your account settings, we can map your TIDAL account to your Nostr identity."
What does this have to do with the Embed Player?
By providing the public key in your account settings, we can utilize the previously mentioned NIP-07 specification to identify you as a TIDAL user, and let you login in through the Embed Player. I previously mentioned that the Embed Player only plays previews of TIDAL content - so you might see where this is going. 😉
We’re happy to announce that as of today TIDAL Embed Player supports logging in with Nostr - and if you’ve connected your account in the profile settings - you will be granted 🎉 full length playback 🎉.
This gives an even richer experience on the web for you, especially on the previously mentioned social applications running on Nostr. Sharing a TIDAL link in a post will now show the Embed Player and you - and other TIDAL subscribers - will have the ability to listen to the full track right in the post!"

I'm not seeing Tidal Embed. Using Alby.
@stefanmoro is this feature still supported? I added npub to my tidal account. I then tried to login to tidal from snort by clicking your embedded track (using alby extension) and got this error
https://m.primal.net/LOIV.png
Why isn't this a bigger deal? I have seen hardly any #TIDAL content on Nostr since this dropped
