Price and Features

What is the DJ Extension?
The DJ Extension is an add-on available to Individual and eligible Student plan subscribers. It provides access to stem separation (availability varies by partner) and over 110 million lossless-quality songs on DJ hardware and software.

How much does the DJ Extension cost?
The DJ Extension costs an additional $9 USD per month (plus applicable sales tax for US subscribers). This amount is in addition to your regular monthly subscription cost.

Is there a free trial for the DJ Extension?
New TIDAL subscribers who subscribe to a TIDAL plan with the DJ Extension will receive a 30-day free trial for the full experience.

If I'm on a 30-day free trial of TIDAL (Individual or Student), can I add the DJ Extension without reducing my trial time?
Yes, you can add the DJ Extension to your TIDAL Individual or Student plan during the free trial without reducing the remaining time of your trial period.

How do I add the DJ Extension to my existing TIDAL Individual or Student plan?
Existing TIDAL Individual or Student plan users can add the DJ Extension to their plan by navigating to account.tidal.com. When you add the DJ Extension to an existing subscription, it activates immediately. We calculate the time and money remaining on your current subscription and apply it to your new subscription, adjusting your billing date accordingly. You'll see this new billing date reflected immediately on your account page.

Is stem separation available with the DJ Extension?
Yes, the DJ Extension provides access to stem separation on DJ hardware and software. Availability varies by partner.


Availability and Access

Is the DJ Extension available on the Family plan?
No. If the main account owner wants access to DJ integrations, they must subscribe to a TIDAL Individual or Student plan with the DJ Extension add-on. Family members will then need to choose a new TIDAL Individual plan or join a different Family plan, as the DJ Extension is not available with Family plans.

Why can't I add the DJ Extension to my TIDAL subscription if my account is registered through Apple or Google?
The DJ Extension can only be added to your subscription if your TIDAL account is registered directly with TIDAL. Unfortunately, it’s not currently possible to add the DJ Extension if your account is registered through Apple or Google. If you’d like the DJ Extension, you’ll need to cancel your subscription through Apple or Google and subscribe directly through TIDAL.

I'm a DJ but haven't added the DJ Extension to my subscription. Can I still access DJ integrations?
No, the DJ Extension is required to enable DJ playback. Without it, you'll encounter a playback error message when trying to use TIDAL with your DJ setup. To access DJ integrations, please visit account.tidal.com and add the DJ Extension to your TIDAL subscription under an Individual or Student plan.

Can I add the DJ Extension to my existing subscription?
Yes. You can add the DJ Extension by navigating to account.tidal.com. When you add the DJ Extension to an existing subscription, it activates immediately. This will result in a 30% reduction in the remaining time of your current billing cycle. This prorated adjustment allows you to enjoy the DJ Extension without delay.

Is the DJ Extension available on the Student plan?
Yes! See below for more details on adding the DJ Extension to a Student plan.


DJ Extension for Student Plans

I’m new to TIDAL. How do I sign up for a Student plan with the DJ Extension?
To add the DJ Extension to a new TIDAL Student plan, eligible students can follow these steps:

  1. Visit TIDAL.com: Sign up for a TIDAL Student plan.
  2. Select the DJ Extension Option: During the sign-up process, select the DJ Extension as an add-on to your Student plan.
  3. Verify Student Status: Ensure your student status is verified. This may require providing proof of enrollment or other necessary documentation. More information on SheerID verification can be found here.
  4. Choose the DJ Extension Add-on: In the product selector, choose the DJ Extension as an add-on to your Student plan.
  5. Complete Payment: The DJ Extension costs an additional $9 USD per month (plus applicable sales tax for US subscribers). Review the total cost, including the Student plan fee of $5.49 USD/month (+ applicable sales tax), and complete the payment process.
  6. Confirmation: Once the payment is processed, you will receive a confirmation email, and the DJ Extension will be activated on your account.

How do I remove the DJ Extension from my Student plan?
You can remove the DJ Extension by navigating to account.tidal.com. The change will take place at the end of the current billing cycle, and you will retain access to the DJ Extension until that time.

Do students need to re-verify their status to keep the DJ Extension?
Yes, students must re-verify their status with SheerID every 12 months to maintain the student discount for their plan and the DJ Extension.

What happens if my student verification lapses?
If your student verification lapses and you do not re-verify, you will be moved to a TIDAL Individual plan plus DJ Extension upon your next billing cycle. This means you will no longer receive the student discount and will pay the regular price for your plan and the DJ Extension.
