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

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: github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi

I also download FLACs from Tidal, Deezer or Qobuz. You can find downloaders for them very easily.

Wine/bottles? I do use qobuz in a bottle and get hd audio out to my dac.

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

zenharbinger ,

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.

strawberry OP ,

says it does

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…

Can’t help you there, I buy CDs and lossless copies from Bandcamp and Qobuz. Those work for me.

baseless_discourse , (edited )

bandcamp is great! you can just pay and download music in whatever format (flac, wav, mp3), as easy as that.

They don’t have the latest popular singers, but most indy band and artists are on there, which is good enough for me.

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. 🏴‍☠️

strawberry OP ,

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

pastermil ,

Pretty much the same way you do on Windows & Mac.

What are your requirements?

I use Tidal and I know High/Max quality works in the web UI, just needs widevine support.

strawberry OP ,

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)

Deezer

I know you said you don’t want to switch, but I was in a similar situation, switched to Qobuz, installed qobuz-dl and navidrome, and now Qobuz is just an input for my self-hosted streaming service.
