Looking for tools for Apple Music lossless ripping - Lemmy.world

I was wondering where I could find an app or tool to rip lossless music from Apple Music. I’ve looked at the megathread but could find exactly that. I know that the android client supports lossless audio. I could probably pull the audio files from my phone or from from some emulator like bluestacks but they will be full of DRM. That’s probably where the tool will be needed to unlock/convert them.

I’m pretty sure no such tool exists but if it does I’d probably start using Apple Music. Qobuz is your best bet.

It doesn’t sadly lol, I thought I was the only one looking too, I’m glad to see it’s not just me though who wanted this. I have Deezer FLACs but nothing quite compares to ALAC, I feel the difference is pretty noticable, the file size is nearly double of a normal FLAC too.

ALAC and FLAC are just the containers and don’t have any bearing on quality. Deezer maxes out at CD Quality whereas Qobuz and Apple Music have Hi-Res 24bit files for some of their libraries.

Thank you kind sir, you solved my long had mystery on why my music sounds better now, I had never tried Apple Music before, I had believed there was no higher quality than FLAC from Deezer…stupid I know, this also answers why some of the FLACS seems to be different size from Deezer. I had no idea Deezer rips were just CD copies essentially. Awesome to know man!

It does but I guess it’s only private right now. SlavArt doesn’t do it or maybe you can request what you want on there?

If you want just to download it’s more easier to use qobuz or Deezer. Give a look in the music session in the community megathread in how to download from they.

In your opinion, which service is superior, qobuz or Deezer?
