I pay for apple music, but all the linux clients seem to just be webapps which support 256AAC at most. Any way to maybe automatically download my library as flac and keep it locally (legal or not idc)
cant move services as every other service sucks (yes i have tried them all (tidal, spotify, qobuzz, deezer)
thank you all
The easiest way to get lossless music is to buy a CD and rip it. Of course you can always sail the high seas too. 🏴☠️
sailing the high seas is great, thats why i said legal or not. however, i dont know of a way to automatically get my am library and download it through something like nicotine
last time i did it was a very manual process
Soundiiz -> last.fm or spotify playlist -> Newsbin or torrent + lidarr
Yes, Arrs are the way: https://wiki.servarr.com/
Can’t help you there, I buy CDs and lossless copies from Bandcamp and Qobuz. Those work for me.

What are your requirements?
I use Tidal and I know High/Max quality works in the web UI, just needs widevine support.
spotify doesnt have lossless, deezers app is really slow, tidals is janky and slow, qobuzz was missing 20% of my library (though maybe ill check again, they used a different service for transfers)
I know you said no service change but I use this Tidal client which works really well and goes up to 24-bit 192 kHz: https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi
I also download FLACs from Tidal, Deezer or Qobuz. You can find downloaders for them very easily.
tidal has the most atrocious android app I have seen in my life
IIRC, one can integrate Tidal with music players like Strawberry on nix too, I think.
Is there anything like this for Android that you’re aware of? That would be awesome.
Do you mean for downloading or for streaming? I use the normal Tidal app which already does the highest quality. Not the best app in the world but it does the job and I mostly listen to downloaded music anyway.
I’m sorry, I should have been clearer. Yes, I meant for streaming. I also have all my favorite music downloaded and play them locally (sort of, self-hosted from my home server). But way back when I was part of the Spotify crowd I came across great songs I didn’t know about, so streaming is a great way to find those hidden jewels. I just don’t want to have any of those apps trying to mine a boatload of data constantly from my devices.
Check out some of the *ARR apps like Lidarr and pair it with something like sabnzbd or
ubittorrentqbittorrent
*if you like piracy
oh I love piracy
I don’t mind. I support the artists I love by seeing them live and buying merch, pays them way more than a few streams anyways
from OP’s post:
“legal or not idc”
Deezer
How many albums you plan to downloads that require automation? I downloaded mine off of various torrent sites (about 300+ songs) and I still haven’t listened to all of them yet
