Music-streaming service Tidal today arrived on the desktop and added the ability to buy concert tickets through Ticketmaster.
The Jay Z-backed service also touted a revamped user interface and promised student pricing in the coming weeks.
Tidal for desktop is available to download now on PC and Mac, joining the Web player and apps for iOS and Android.
Tidal said the player supports gapless play, media keys, and sound output management. "The app detects and supports different audio sources, like Mac Airplay and Digital Audio Converters (DAC), making it easy to play the music on compatible stereo systems," according to the company.
The mobile apps are also getting better search, a new menu and icons, and a prominent offline mode button.

The Ticketmaster partnership, meanwhile, means Tidal members will have access to exclusive ticket giveaways, presales, and discounts, though the company did not elaborate.
Tidal currently costs $9.99 per month for standard audio and $19.99 a month for high-fidelity audio. Those with a valid .edu address, however, will be able to snag a student discount in the next few weeks: $4.99 for the standard tier and $9.99 for the Hi-Fi tier.
Rival Spotify has a similar tier; it introduced student pricing for $4.99 per month last year. Like Tidal, Spotify Premium is $9.99 per month, but unlike Tidal, Spotify offers free, ad-supported listening.
Tidal's upgrades come ahead of Apple's WWDC, where Cupertino will reportedly (finally) unveil a music-streaming service that incorporates Beats Music. Rumors about Apple's service have been swirling for months, but we should hopefully get a glimpse of what it has in store at Monday's keynote in San Francisco.
