I tried buying music from them recently and the audio quality was horrible. The mix was bad. All the tracks had their gain structure totally fucked.
Nothing is worth buying. I tried. Back to piracy.
I’ve got Qobuz and it’s pretty good, but the desktop experience sucks.
I wish they just offered an API so I could build my own interface that works with native desktop controls.
If you’re running Linux, check out QBZ, or qobuz-player if you prefer terminal. The official client also works pretty well in Bottles, but I like QBZ better than the official one
Nice hint. Thanks!
Also, they have a private API. Minim is a really good API wrapper in Python. The dev branch contains V2 which is currently in alpha
What are the risks of using tools like these? Can the service providers cancel my account or worst? Do they even know that these tools are being used?
Ive downloaded over 150k tracks from tidal using tidal dl and after a lot of testing the most theyve done to counter is rate limiting or blocking the IP i was using, but if you stick with reasonable limits of how quickly you are downloading tidal doesnt seem to care much.
I’ve been using both extensions almost every day for more than a year without getting banned, but there is always a risk.
Since the code is running inside a real browser, it might be more stealth than command line tools, not really sure about that.
Original tidal-dl-ng had a delay option to wait between tracks downloads, maybe i’ll implement the same feature.
The github repo says its published on mozillaaddons but I can’t find it?
