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 have similar thoughts. I use bandcamp for smaller artists but I would recommend nicotine+ on Linux
yeah I used nicotine in the past, but lidarr seems better
