Tidal permissions work similarly to Spotify - read-only access to your music data.

Connecting SoundCloud

SoundCloud integration is currently in development! Once available, you'll be able to:

• Import SoundCloud playlists
• Search for tracks on SoundCloud
• View SoundCloud prices

Benefits of Connecting

1. Faster Imports: Paste any playlist URL instead of exporting CSV
2. Rich Metadata: Get album artwork, audio features, and more
3. Better Matching: More accurate price searches using platform IDs
4. Automatic Enrichment: CSV imports get enhanced with streaming data

Privacy & Security

• Tokens are encrypted and stored securely
• We only request read-only permissions
• You can disconnect anytime from Settings
• Token refresh is handled automatically

Disconnecting Accounts

To revoke access:

1. Go to Settings → Connected Accounts
2. Click "Disconnect" next to the service
3. Your tokens are immediately deleted
4. URL imports will no longer work for that service

You can reconnect anytime.

Troubleshooting

Connection failed:

• Make sure you're using the correct account
• Check that you clicked "Authorize" on the service's page
