## Installation
|
|
|
|
### Using releases
|
|
|
|
Various packaged versions of the software are available on the [releases](https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi/releases) tab.
|
|
|
|
### Using source
|
|
|
|
To install and work with the code on this project follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
- git clone https://github.com/Mastermindzh/tidal-hifi.git
|
|
- cd tidal-hifi
|
|
- npm install
|
|
- npm start
|
|
|
|
## Why
|
|
|
|
I moved from Spotify over to Tidal and found Linux support to be lacking.
|
|
|
|
When I started this project there weren't any Linux apps that offered Tidal's "hifi" options nor any scripts to control it.
|
|
|
|
## Integrations
|
|
|
|
- [i3 blocks config](https://github.com/Mastermindzh/dotfiles/commit/9714b2fa1d670108ce811d5511fd3b7a43180647) - My dotfiles where I use this app to fetch currently playing music (direct commit)
|
|
|
|
## Why not extend existing projects?
|
|
|
|
Whilst there are a handful of projects attempting to run Tidal on Electron they are all unappealing to me because of various reasons:
|
|
|
|
- Lack of a maintainers/developers. (no hotfixes, no issues being handled etc)
|
|
- Most are simple web wrappers, not my cup of tea.
|
|
- Some are DE oriented. I want this to work on WM's too.
|
|
- None have widevine working at the moment and that is really the hardest part..
|
|
|
|
Sometimes it's just easier to start over, cover my own needs and then making it available to the public :)
