Tidal joins Stash. When Qobuz doesn't have a song in lossless, Stash now tries Tidal next — for streaming and for downloads — so far fewer songs fall back to YouTube quality.
What's new
- Tidal as a second lossless source. Songs Qobuz can't find now stream and download in FLAC from Tidal, up to 24-bit Hi-Res.
- Tidal's high-quality AAC when there's no FLAC. For songs that only exist on Tidal in CD quality, Stash plays and downloads Tidal's 320 kbps AAC instead of dropping to YouTube. Prefer FLAC only? Turn off Settings → Audio & Quality → Tidal AAC when no FLAC.
- Online songs in your Library. In Stream only mode, Library → Songs now also lists songs from your playlists that aren't downloaded, each marked, with a Downloaded / Online filter.
- Word-synced lyrics for one song. In Now Playing, the lyrics menu has Get word-synced lyrics to upgrade just the song you're listening to.
- Display size. Settings → Appearance → Display size makes the whole app bigger or smaller, including dialogs, sheets and menus.
Polish
- Faster syncs. Spotify playlists that haven't changed are no longer re-read on every sync.
- No more duplicate copies. Downloading a song from Search that you already have now says "Already in your library" instead of saving a second copy.
- Shuffle behaves. The shuffled order stays the same when a song ends, Back goes to the song you just heard, and Play next shows up in the right place.
- Cleaner tabs. Library and Settings drop the big title at the top; the tab bar already says where you are.
Good to know
- Just update. This version upgrades your library, so going back to an older version would mean reinstalling.
- Tidal is tried only after Qobuz, so most songs still come from Qobuz exactly as before.
Install
Download Stash.apk below and open it on your Android device. If you've got a previous Stash release installed, this upgrades in place — your library, sync history, and settings are preserved.
Requires: Android 8.0 (API 26) or newer.
See the README for first-time setup.
