Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/binimum/tidal-ui/issues/37
Describe the bug
When trying to download .m4a files (ones with Dolby Atmos support), a blank file is downloaded.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Example of bug
Problematic album 1 on Tidal and problematic album 2 on Tidal.
Expected behavior
I expected to get a file that is possible to run, not an empty file with 0 bytes size.

Additional context
Other ordinary songs (with .flac at the end) can be downloaded without any problems.

Can confirm this, with all quality options. I'd download the Hi-Res (not Dolby Atmos) versions as I don't think it's possible to natively play back or download Dolby Atmos songs without a different file format; ADM BWF file according to google

@cxdxn1 commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2025):
Same issue here, when will this be addressed?
@IZA165 commented on GitHub (Oct 23, 2025):
Don't think it can be fixed, so just download songs without Atmos
@jfcistfgltm commented on GitHub (Oct 30, 2025):
Having this issue as well, is there a way to download without the atmos so that it works? Real shame that I can't download an album just because the producers wanted to be fancy lol
@IZA165 commented on GitHub (Oct 31, 2025):
lol.
I think if you search for the album while on binilossless (not tidal) it should bring up non dolby versions. Maybe a feature request could be not to show up atmos versions in the search if possible @uimaxbai?

This error has been reported to me on Discord and I think I know why it is happening. Currently in exam mode until next week though so it's going on my ever growing list of things to do after exams haha.

atm you could try enabling export links as csv, get the links off the csv and use a download manager to get the file. it comes as an mp4 tho.
