With Tonearm you are able to play tracks at their highest quality, explore new tracks using discovery mixes or the explore tab or just enjoy the songs you already know you love from your collection. Just like you would expect from the real app. Tonearm also has some additional features such as
- Background Playback
- Gapless playback
- MPRIS integration
- Scrobbling to ListenBrainz and Last.fm
Don't have a TIDAL account? You can still try the app and enjoy song previews of up to 30 seconds to see if it's for you.
