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

    Then if you care about the artists being compensated fairly, you can CD+rip; if not, streamrip/torrent will produce a lot less waste and much more convenient.

    TBH most big names are millionaires anyway, I probably would care much more about my convenience than them getting paid 5 bucks for all my troubles.

      I support the artists I love by seeing them love and buying their merch, pays them far more than a few streams would anyways

      I don’t care about the profits of big artists and i refuse rental/streaming, so if they have their own site or i can find them elsewhere, fine, otherwise it’s the high seas. HDtracks has some big names.

      For smaller bands there’s bandcamp. Is sellaband still a thing?
