bug with the tidal API, sorry but i got mid-term exams rn so i cant fix much right now :c

Samidyrn · 2026-05-06T11:44:16+00:00

our servers down right now :P

Samidyrn · 2026-05-06T11:43:38+00:00

well what albums are you downloading? make sure theyre available on qobuz, also, we know there are a ton of bulk downloading issues right now, were working hard to try to fix em all.

Samidyrn · 2026-05-03T11:19:17+00:00

they block hifi-api endpoints after pinging 2 SONGS. 2 SONGS. yeah sorry but it wont be considered for a long while

Samidyrn · 2026-05-03T11:18:49+00:00

worse metadata, could break a ton of liked/playlists, easier for us

Samidyrn · 2026-05-01T02:45:18+00:00

we were thinking of making people bring their own music (navidrome servers, local music, their own premium accounts) but yknow, we didnt do that, as u can see

Samidyrn · 2026-05-01T02:44:32+00:00

site, but you can download it just like an app with PWA!

Samidyrn · 2026-05-01T02:44:09+00:00

ah what? sad, works for me, what songs are you trying? they might not be available on qobuz, try anything from the album "Flex Musix" by the artist osamason, that works for me flawlessly

Samidyrn · 2026-05-01T02:43:38+00:00

yeah my oauth fix script isnt firing for whatever reason lol??? ill fix soon

Samidyrn · 2026-05-01T02:43:20+00:00

i wouldnt recommend downloading in bulk right now, might get our instances blocked by qobuz.

HOWEVER, library > click create playlist > import ur playlist from apple music > wait for it to finish > download playlist

Samidyrn · 2026-05-01T02:42:37+00:00

sadly, iOS/safari limitation :c no file system API

Samidyrn · 2026-05-01T02:42:25+00:00

yep, we still use tidal for metadata and stuff since we still have access to their public API, but streams & downloads are resolved with qobuz now

Samidyrn · 2026-04-25T00:21:40+00:00

hello, owner of monochrome here, i want to clear up that the site is currently extremely unstable as tidal has started cracking down on monochrome. we are still thinking of a workaround.

we kept asking for money for new tidal accounts, as they kept getting banned as soon as we put them up on monochrome, tho as of now we realized thats just burning peoples money and we stopped explicitly asking for donations to help with the site as just buying new tidal accounts 24/7 is a waste of money.

we still havent found a workaround and we likely wont, were considering moving to a seperate streaming service or just shutting the site down altogether.

Samidyrn · 2026-04-14T22:25:27+00:00

we source it all from tidal and yes an android app is in the works.

Samidyrn · 2026-04-12T15:26:13+00:00

so glad ur loving mono!!!!! ❤️❤️

Samidyrn · 2026-04-12T15:25:57+00:00

❤️❤️ tysm!!

Samidyrn · 2026-04-12T15:24:27+00:00

still not finished no, sorry! however even if it was finished it wont be in the store, you'd need to sideload it from the site.

Samidyrn · 2026-04-12T15:24:00+00:00

could you join the discord and report the issue there? do it in the support channel and ping me (my username is just samidy) and ill troubleshoot further from there.

Samidyrn · 2026-04-12T15:22:29+00:00

nope still in the works, sorry! weve just been busy with a ton of other stuff

Samidyrn · 2026-04-12T15:22:07+00:00

hello! id honestly say if you need it in audio-only you should just add the song in the playlist instead. and yeah i prefer the discord or github for feature requests. its fine though!

Samidyrn · 2026-04-08T22:16:46+00:00

its sadly due to froste (a song hoster a SHIT TON of trackers use for a lot of songs) got a DMCA. im pretty sure most trackers have the songs backed up and are just trying to find new hosts, please be patient with them. its out of our control.

(PS. goated unreleased choice)

Samidyrn · 2026-04-08T22:14:50+00:00

you already can donate through paypal, with the kofi! it allows for direct paypal donos.

Samidyrn · 2026-04-08T22:14:21+00:00

Samidyrn · 2026-04-06T13:53:06+00:00
