Any sites (other than sanet.st) for downloading hi res songs?

 

ive Pm'd you.

 

You can get those easily with a Tidal account and tidal-dl-ng. That's how I've been keeping part of my music collection for a few years now.

 

HDtracks /www.hdtracks.com
ProStudioMasters www.prostudiomasters.com
NativeDSD www.nativedsd.com
Presto Music www.prestomusic.com
HighResAudio www.highresaudio.com/en/site/home

 

Is it free to download? If not, are you capturing audio on your computer? Hi Res files?

 

It is a free, legit tool. It gets the files from Tidal itself, no recording or anything that would affect the quality of the files. What is on Tidal is what you get from it.

That would be fantastic, but I have no idea how to download and use for Mac. It's all code stuff. ;-0 Any suggestions?

 

lucida.to. Put the media link in and off it goes. No install, and it downloads directly from the service to their server first, then to you; but it is nearly instant anyway and you aren't touching some services servers, except to go look up the links. It acts like a proxy server. Uncheck use pixeldrain or you will have a second link to click. It can error but it will work often enough. Services try to block it probably all day.

 

I do not own a Mac so I can't give you exact directions, but look into how to install Python and pip (Python usually comes with pip in Windows and Linux, so you might only need to install Python). After that, run the following command in the terminal: pip install tidal-dl-ng

After that, run the commands:
tidal-dl-ng --help (should display a text with the available commands)
tidal-dl-ng login (should give you a link to allow the app to access your account)
tidal-dl-ng dl link-to-the-album-or-song (should download the files)

At the end of this section, there is a link that will let you skip all of this and use a GUI version, but I can't tell you how reliable it is. I only use the command line over here.
