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

      I don’t think the Apple Music Windows app does lossless or hi-res either

        Man, it sounds like if HD is your requirement, Apple really might not be the best.

        Short of an Android emulator, it sounds like they don’t want it out of their ecosystem.

          That is true. Waydroid might work. No idea if you can get lossless through that.

          If it does now, that might be an option. It didn’t when I got rid of Apple music.

      the qobuz webapp is hi-res too, I just use it in Firefox and my dac reports the same bit/sample rate that qobuz does. AFAIK there’s no compression there though I haven’t extensively verified that, only that the end result is 24bit/192kHz if that’s what qobuz says is playing.

      EDIT: Also, qobuz is nice because there’s very few things you can click on in the web interface which cause the music to stop playing. I really appreciate that feature… looking at you bandcamp…
