Tidal-Media-Downloader-PRO VS qobuz-dl

It's Tiesto's "BOOM" that I ripped from TIDAL using TIDAL Media Downloader. I included the MediaInfo, so you can check if it's real.

For TIDAL content, I use TIDAL Media Downloader to 🏴‍☠️ content that I want such as Dolby Atmos tracks. It can also tell you what quality an album, playlist or track is e.g. FLAC, E-AC3-JOC, or MPEG-H 3D.

Tidal is excellent, but they tend not to have obscure artists. It also doesn't help in my case that some of the music I occasionally listen to is not streamable. Anyways, if you want to share the love with your users, Tidal-Downloader works pretty well for .flac acquisition. Now if only I could automate it and fix Tidal's metadata (it's also broken in their apps).

There's Qobuz-dl and QobuzDownloaderX. You can also use the Slavart bot which is available on Divolt and Discord. The bot occasionally goes down though.

Qobuz is more expensive but i think it is better. And yes, you can sign up with vpn (i dont do that, but read some people talking about that in the subreddit). And there is also a downloader for Qobuz (https://github.com/vitiko98/qobuz-dl)

I notice there is a qobuz-dl equivalent which is great. Will test that out.

If you can find a way to download the files driectly from the streamin service's servers, suing something like qobuz-dl, you can then perfoma null test to verify that they are bit perfect copies or not.

So far all I have found is this a) Qobuz-DL (console application requiring Python) https://github.com/vitiko98/qobuz-dl

Nice and nice. If you ever run across this issue and know your way around Python, look at this git repo https://github.com/vitiko98/qobuz-dl. Does require a Qobuz subscription. I think Tidal has similar open source workarounds but I use Qobuz.
