I know this is kind of baby pirate knowledge but ive always just used a downloader for my streaming service. I have since moved to Linux entirely (massive win BTW, patting myself on the back for that) but there is no Linux-compatible downloader for my specific service. At least not one with the bulk functionality I would like. Any downloaders for Tidal or other sources of high-quality audio, likely to have some relatively niche old death metal? I'm a nerd about the quality.

edit: Just looked at the megathread and there seems to be some tools compatible with Tidal. Regardless, are there any applications that are alternatives? I'd like to see ALL of my options <3

If you have a home server, slskd is very good. Modern web UI and there's plugins to integrate it into Lidarr (Tubifarry)

    As soon as you said "Lidarr," you had my undivided attention. I'm definitely giving this a try

    Make sure you're on the "develop" branch of Lidarr, as the stable one doesn't have the plugins feature. If you're using Docker, use the "develop" tag instead of "latest" (lscr.io/linuxserver/lidarr:develop).

    lidarr is still not working anywhere near as good. musicbrainz is a trash metadata provider.

    Musicbrainz is fine; it's just Lidarr's usage of it that's a problem. Lidarr uses its own mirror of Musicbrainz, plus its own custom search code, and it's not as reliable.

    Other apps that use Musicbrainz data, like Beets and Picard, don't have the same issues that Lidarr has.

    If you're fine pulling with legit services then https://monochrome.tf/ is probably the easiest to use (or their backend service if you want to automate it).
