Cider VS librespot

I looked into swapping to Apple Music before but couldn't find a way to play lossless music on Linux making swapping pointless. Apparently[0] decryption for lossless isn't supported for 3rd party clients.

Anyone know of a way around this?

It's basically a open source frontend for Apple Music that works on Linux and Windows. It's what I use to listen to my Apple Music songs on Linux, and it's amazing.

Hey, I’ve hade the problem for a long and I thankfully found a amazing 3rd party solution. It’s called Cider and you can find it here. Cider I hope this satisfies you :)

Are there any alternatives to the Music.app for MacOS, similar to Cider for Windows?

I would recommend Cider: https://cider.sh/

If you’re on windows. check this out. It’s a beautiful design and works just as good as you’d expect it to

apple music will do up to 192khz 24bit on iPhone and the interface is pretty nice, you can listen at spotify quality (320kbps?) on pc with Cinder which also has a pretty good interface

I agree. For now, try this: https://cider.sh

It is shitty they killed libspotify, but it isn't hard to reverse engineer the way the app communicates with the backend, this has already happened in the form of https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot as an example.

And if Apples ecosystem wasn't so locked down I could write a HomePod client using librespot and Daniel Ek could get however mad he wants about it.

https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot - it exists already. I'd just like to make it usable on a flip phone.

They use a version of this.

You want SnapCast. You'd run snapserver on your Linux box and snapclient on your Pi's. Snapserver has support for Airplay (via shairport-sync) and Spotify (via librespot). I recommend using MPD for your music library, as I don't think PlexAmp can output audio in a way that's useful for snapserver.

For the last tow days I'm trying to compile librespot for my Xiaomi Mop PRO STYJ02YM Vacuum Cleaner. Vacuum uses TinaLinux which uses OpenWRT under the hood. The platform is armv7.

Also, the base library doing the hard work of communicating with the proprietary Spotify service is still very healthy, since April 2015. I would say that is a pretty decent time no?

To replace it, I've purchased in-ceiling speakers and a Control 4 Amp (C4-16AMP3-B) which I can control via the network. I plan on using shareport-sync for AirPlay and librespot for spotify as the sources to play music. 90% of the use for my whole home audio is for music.

But, if I can control librespot, https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot that's interesting

You can also just use librespot, which acts as a Spotify Connect device so you can play music in your PC and control it from your phone in a very light way
