I’ve resorted back to piracy, but mostly cuz my taste in music confuses the hell out of the algorithms: I’m a fan of symphonic metal, and seeding one of those songs as the start of a playlist on something like YT music will land you with a combination of heavy death metal and renaissance fair music.
If I ever find one that can actually distinguish sub-genres of metal, then sign me the fuck up!!

You can mix TIDAL and piracy; I use
tidal-dl
quite a lot. The problem with streaming services is that they can close shop in five minutes, and all of “your” music won’t be yours anymore.(I think Apple Music has similar tools.)

What I didn’t like about Tidal was their weird format being advertised as lossless when it wasn’t. It didn’t really sound all that great.
There was an application called requiem (if I remember correctly) that could rip music from older Windows XP versions of iTunes; it was only available over Tor quite some time ago. I’m not sure what people would use these days (maybe just a hacked DAC?).

TIDAL HiFi is FLAC as far as I know.

I had to look it up, what I was thinking of was MQA. Looks like they discontinued it late last year though.
