Any way to rip high-quality from Apple Music? Or Spotify? - eviltoast

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 recently got an HDMI splitter and usb-c capture card to start recording TV. HDMI splitter downgrades the HDCP of the firetv stick so the capture card can record it. You might be able do the same with an apple TV as well. Have it play a playlist of music while recording then split the recording into the separate songs and get rid of the video. This isn’t as nice as actually downloading the music but I’m not sure of an easier way using those services.
