Where I can download lossless music ?
Given the recent actions by Apple and the RIAA in shutting down free music providers, I thought it would be useful to compile a list of high-resolution music download services that still work.
Access easely the following main streaming services : Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Qobuz, Beatport, SoundCloud, Spotify, Amazon Music, Youtube (YTMusic)
If you're looking for Hi-Fi audio, be sure to read this guide it outlines the audio quality offered by the most common streaming services.
Spotify now offers 24-bit/44.1 kHz audio !
๐ Gold and ๐ฟ Silver indicate how strongly I recommend a website, ๐ highlights of my favorite websites in specific category lists.
