Loopbase VS Cider

For my fourth issue I wanted to find something a bit more challenging, so as I was searching around I came across a cool WIP application being created by one developer. She was creating a desktop client for Looperman, which is a cool website that houses a pro audio community that shares music loops, acapellas, vocals, beats, and much more. It is like the opensource equivalent for audio, where you can share your work and get feedback/help from others, or help others as well. This app is still in its early stages of development so I was able to contribute by adding a new volume slider feature. The issue was that whenever the user would preview audio clips it would only be able to play at 100% volume, so for user experience she wanted a volume slider to be added. This was a fun issue to work out as I have never worked with audio files in javascript, so it was a great learning experience.

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
