Have you maybe managed to pull alacs? I downloaded aac, but alac fail after I try to fill in 2fa. Some error occurs there. I would love to get my music in alac as this tool is fine in oreserving metadata, text, covers etc.
yeah it's running fine for me, what errors are you getting? i dont have 2fa enabled though
maybe open an issue on the wrapper github repo
How did you disable 2fa? I never managed to disable that shit
Not sure about natively pulling from Apple, but you could try to generate that playlist on YouTube and then use yt-dlp to rip them.
It works well but you need to check carefully because some YT matches can be bad and have shitty quality or be mislabelled. If it’s a big effort to do manually you could run it through MusicBrainz Picard after the fact and let it flag the ones it can’t match by sonic fingerprint.
Thanks. But no, I don't expect I'd be able to pull the files from Apple. I've never heard of an Apple Music scraper. Plus, Apple has my information, so yeah, would rather convert the playlist to another service.
I didn't think about YouTube. The metadata isn't there at all so it would be a lot of work. With the Spotify scraper, they use their own system for tracking dates. The actual files all have 1970 as the year, no genre, and the albumartist tag is propagated with the artist tag... so for example your albumartist might be like... "Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty", first example I can think of. (Song would be "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." It's her song, so the artist tag would be "Stevie Nicks".) It's just something you gotta fix in mp3tag (or whatever you use) if you want the metadata to be accurate. On Android it's gonna be played in Poweramp and that can sort by artist, album, year, you want that stuff to be accurate. Or it can be played in Plexamp and Plex is gonna use its own metadata (not sure where it sources from) but I still like to get it right. On the Mac itself or the iPhone it's just gonna be streamed through Apple Music, or Plexamp since, even without Internet, it should still be able to stream on the local LAN.
