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
bandcamp is great! you can just pay and download music in whatever format (flac, wav, mp3), no questions asked.
They don’t have the Taylor Swifts of the world, but most indy bands and artists are on there, which is good enough for me.
For classical music, there is presto music, but their download experience is not as straight forward as bandcamp IMO.
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
