"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Can you download from any of these? Spotify seems to be pretty locked-down., even on something like Firefox on Linux.
orpheusdl and similar downloaders are able to extract off of tidal, qobuz, deezer, etc
From what other people are saying, Qobuz allows you to buy to own and download.
Pretty much all of them have some sort of store offline mode for their mobile app, but that would obviously be in a DRM'd format.
Not officially but this exists: https://github.com/yaronzz/Tidal-Media-Downloader
