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.
If you're looking for Hi-Fi audio, be sure to read this guide β it outlines the audio quality offered by the most common streaming services.
π Gold and πΏ Silver indicate how strongly I recommend a website ; π highlights my favorite websites in specific category lists.
Press "CTRL + F" (or "CMD + F" on Mac) to search for your streaming service.
Ripping Bots
I personally tested each bot using the same 14-track album to see which one was the fastest.
Most of these services require a command followed by your link, usually "/dl".
