Could Cider[1] be what you're looking for? 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. [1]: https://cider.sh/ https://cider.sh/

There's a web interface that could be used, but I wanted to use the high-res mode with this DAC. First world problems of course, but just needlessly frustrating.

  They're currently working on a complete remake of Cider [1], which is "powered by Rust. With a partial shift away from Electron". That might fit your needs? The latest release, v2.3.0, also supports forcing the player to use 256kbps[2] [1]: https://cidercollective.itch.io/cider https://cidercollective.itch.io/cider [2]: https://cidercollective.itch.io/cider/devlog/674855/cider-v230 https://cidercollective.itch.io/cider/devlog/674855/cider-v2...

    I believe the DRM Apple adds makes the Hi-Res options exceedingly difficult to access from outside of their platform.

      Cider seemed to struggle just getting the 256kbps. So getting the lossless options, are not gonna be any easier, but hopefully Cider can figure it out with time!

So I can access my Apple Music library through this?
- SigmundurM 3y ago
  Yup! I'm not sure about music that you've added/uploaded to your library, haven't tried that, but given that Cider "iCloud library" I would imagine that it should just work.

This app is INCREDIBLE. I have been extremely unhappy with macOS music compared to iOS and this seems to address all my use cases. thanks for sending it along :)

  They ground up rebuilt it a while back and it seems like they’ve fixed that issue.
