Hello hi-res music sailors !

Today I renewed my Qobuz and Tidal one month trials for the 12th time. Seems too easy to be true, but it just works.

Here are my two homemade web extensions to download files directly from the browser.
Unstable testing versions. Active subscription required.

QobuzExt | TidalExt

DEMO

Based on qobuz-dl and tidal-dl-ng

~~Still not sure if this is piracy or not :)~~

You don't pay for files and still download them that's piracy.

I guess they make it easy because, they hope when they treat their customers with respect, the customers return the favor with paying for the service.

But in deathspiral-capitalism I get that people are not paying for anything anymore.

Haha yes of course it is. These services are very nice indeed. I'm a little bit confused to get audio files from "official" services instead of good old hi-res music websites x)

Does it download from the qobuz download store or from their streaming service?

[–] nicopowa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

From the streaming service like other downloaders.
Main differences : it does not need credentials (attached to browser session), and no additional software required.
Just the web extension. And bugs.
