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 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.
