When I open the SONOS app a drop down appears and Tidal is listed amongst others from whom I can get my music. If you have the TIDAL app on your phone and tablet you should be able to open SONOS with a drop down that allows you to choose TIDAL as a source for music. I have that figured out - works the same on my Droid Sonos app. But, there are no settings to adjust there like Bill is suggesting. So far, it's working well around the house with my other Sonos units, but it was having challenges with the one unit. Ironically, the one unit that was having trouble (named "Mancave" in my system) was closest to the unit that was hardwired originally, so I would think that the Mancave unit would be fully able to get data wirelessly from the base unit given its proximity to the base. (For those not familiar w/Sonos, you hardwire one unit to pull all source data off your internal and external network, then Sonos sets up its own wireless network within your house to distribute that signal to all other Sonos units in your home. And, you control all the units from an app on your PC or any smart device using your home's wifi network. I have 8 different units within my house. And I just used 3 of the other units at once...the "Great Room" and "Kitchen" units were grouped and playing holiday music for my wife, and the "Hot Tub/Bedroom" unit was playing Otis Redding for me as I got cleaned up. Those 3 were working fine w/no skips.) I will have to spend more time listening on the Mancave unit to see if hardwiring it helped or not. FYI, the wife seems to be enjoying Tidal so far now that I steered her to the holiday music playlist. And, she already learned how to make her own Tidal playlist. I have liked looking up music I don't have on hard copy and listening, like Thurston Moore's solo stuff, Otis Redding, Grace Potter, Yello's "Oh Yeah" (to test my sub!), and one ZZ Top album I don't have. If it will be reliable...it will be a keeper. Mark Mark if you go into the Settings within Tidal, here are some screenshots I took on my Note 4, I changed all my streaming quality's to HiFi   |

OK - I finally got Tidal up & running.
Let me be blunt - Tidal doesn't just suck - it SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!
Half the music on my current favorites list is completely missing from Tidal! That means that it's likely that half the other music I have will be missing too?
No "The Hunter" album from Jennifer Warnes
No "The Bright Mississippi" album from Alan Toussaint
I could go on...
$20 to $25 a month for THIS? You've got to be kidding me!

I don't know about Jennifer, but The Bright Mississippi is on my Tidal - did you click "more albums" for each of your searches?
It initially shows just the most popular (Blue Raincoat, etc)

If you go into Tidal looking to find immediately all the music of your favorite artists, you might be disappointed (depending on the genre of music you like listening to). I nearly canceled my subscription in the first few days because I couldn't find some of the albums of the artists I'm most fond of nowadays. In a few rare cases, I couldn't find any albums at all. On the other hand, using the "similar artists" search method, I discovered tons and tons of artists and music in the same genres (Jazz, Classical, blues, Opera, World Music) that I did not have, but music which was also very great... and that is what made me decide to hang on... Of course there was also the convenience of having that music ready to stream into my stereo systems via my htpcs, tablets, and available on the go via other mobile devices... And finally, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt--They are a relatively young new-comer in the online music streaming business, and their collections are bound to grow-- Actually, they are already growing because I recently noticed the availability of some albums which they did not have when I first subscribed a couple of months ago...
So it does take some patience to get on board, but hopefully that patience will be rewarded if you stick with them... Whether you are willing to exercise that patience is, of course, a personal matter...

In my case, music from jazz guitarists such as Tal Farlow, Joe Pass, Joshua Breakstone, Jimmy Bruno, Howard Alden, Peter Bernstein, etc etc not available in most other ways is in abundance in Tidal. YMMV, but for me a powerful resource at CD quality for jazz, my passion.
The real plus for Tidal is the 16/44 resolution, which no one but Qobuz offers.
FWIW, I don't bother much with "popular music", but YMMV.
