I’m trying out Fedora Gnome and I like it, but I can’t daily-drive it because I use Apple Music religiously and there’s no Linux client that supports lossless. :(

The Cider Devs also seem like terrible people FYI
I know everyone likes Cider. But the devs are extremely homophobic, racist, Trump apologists, and deny that Covid was ever that major. Link in post. : r/AppleMusic - reddit.com/…/i_know_everyone_likes_cider_but_the_…

Cider also went from an open source project to a closed source project. I stopped using them after that.

I know about Cider; unfortunately, it doesn’t support lossless, and that’s a must for me.

I am not using Apple Music, but have you tried the Windows client via Proton? I used Amazon Music installed through Heroic Launcher in the past and it worked fine. Though I had to configure the audio to go above 48kHz.

I’m not the one you’re asking, but I’m in a similar situation. I’ve attemped to get this working and the problem is that their Windows client must be downloaded and installed through the Microsoft Store and it’s packaged in a way you can’t run in standalone after extracting it. Some apps published through the MS Store do work fine this way, but I could not get it working for the Apple Music client.
Apple Music does have a web player, but it is also limited to lossy streaming like alternative clients like Cider is.

Do you mean lossless audio in general or specifically Apple Music?
I’ve definitely listened to flac files on Linux but a lot of the finer points of high quality audio are lost on me so my input may not be useful.

Hey there! What I do on Linux is use the Thorium browser to make the Apple Music an app in the OS. It works really well, but does have some weird visual glitches every now and then. I chalk that up to me having an NVIDIA GPU and using Wayland though, so it could work better for you!
As for lossless, I am not sure on that as I don’t have ears that can tell the difference so it has never been something I focused on!

I’ve got an old Mac I’ve managed to get running Sequoia but due to Apple dropping support for Intel, it’s running on borrowed time.
