Any way to rip high-quality from Apple Music? Or Spotify? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi all,

I've been scouring around for a tool to do this for some time but haven't had any luck, hence here I am once again asking for your pirate support.

I'm aware of Cider, but it doesn't do High-Quality Lossless and the people behind it seem a bit scummy to be honest; the whole Cider 2 thing. Forgive me if I'm wrong, and please correct me.

I'm quite keen on doing this since I'm part of an Apple Family plan, so I don't pay a penny for the service but still get full access. I've got terabytes of storage just waiting to share music via Soulseek.

While I'm at it here, might as well ask if anyone's got a similar thing for Spotify? It's the same deal with the whole Family plan thing (It's a complex situation) so downloading from that service is just as appealing, though AM is preferred because quality.

Sidenote, I don't want any of these tools that just match the song and rip from YouTube; always gives crap quality.

I'd also recommend setting the "song_archive" option if you haven't already....especially with real time downloads. Just in case. I'm....unfortunately speaking from experience

I've got it downloading non-real time right now cause I was able to fix the Opus issue (PR is open on Github "Effective libopus support"), so I want to stress-test my changes a bit.

I'll switch it back to real-time soon, and I'll turn on the archive :P.
