Works great! Disconnected from VPN after logging in and it continues to work. Excellent work!!
This is why you must use USA VPN to select Free option. I did not find a way to change the country in app or web so if you already have an account which was created in a country other than USA you will not have the Free option. You can create a new one while using USA VPN.
"Where is TIDAL Free available?
FREE is only available in the US at launch and we’ll notify users when it’ll be available in other markets."
