Anybody know how to get lossless audio on linux?
Anybody know how to get lossless audio on linux?
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
You're viewing a single thread.
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
If you can download music, you can either host your own using navidrome, or just use a local player like auxio.
The only downside to this approach is that the artists you like might not get compensated fairly, as most streaming service pay by stream times. This is also why I prefer buying music than streaming.
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.
