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

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).
