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

Use Soulseek (you don't have to use their app, there are alternatives like Nicotine+). Free yourself from a reliance on streaming platforms.

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

Nicotine (soulseek) for rare stuff or live stuff is great; yt-dlp for popular stuff from popular music services. There's also ytDownloader for a GUI interface.
