Cider VS spicetify-cli

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

There's spicetify, which you can use to remove podcasts from and customize the UI of the desktop client:

Anyone wondering, I'm using Spicetify on my computer together with some extra extensions to get what the image shows. It works for both Windows & Mac and it's pretty easy and free to set up. If it's highly requested, I can fix a guide on how to fix this. Otherwise, most stuff can be found on https://spicetify.app/docs/getting-started and install lyrics-plus https://github.com/spicetify/spicetify-cli/tree/master/CustomApps/lyrics-plus via the terminal to get the translated lyrics for bare minimum.

Here is Spicetify: https://github.com/spicetify/spicetify-cli

The Spicetify theme is Dribbblish (Beach-Sunset). I looked through the GitHub repo and funnily enough, the only mention of Star Wars that I could find is a commit that was supposed to disable the easter egg...

What about spicetify? It is FOSS and has an adblock extension which works flawlessly

If your on desktop use SpotX, or you cant use Spicetify, the only downside of spicetify is that you cant queue songs unless you already have premium but atleast its highly customizable.
