I know this is kind of baby pirate knowledge but ive always just used a downloader for my streaming service. I have since moved to Linux entirely (massive win BTW, patting myself on the back for that) but there is no Linux-compatible downloader for my specific service. At least not one with the bulk functionality I would like. Any downloaders for Tidal or other sources of high-quality audio, likely to have some relatively niche old death metal? I'm a nerd about the quality.

edit: Just looked at the megathread and there seems to be some tools compatible with Tidal. Regardless, are there any applications that are alternatives? I'd like to see ALL of my options <3

Sorry, I didn't mean to say they're the same. I meant to say that if all songs on an album are by one artist, the Artist and Album Artist will be identical. This is the case the majority of the time.

The major exceptions are collaborations (like you said), and compilations (which have "Various Artists" as the Album Artist)

Oh, yeah, if there are no collaborations or additional artists to name, then yes, they will be the same, for sure. And even though it seems redundant, I still have ALBUMARTIST filled in).
