Tonearm, New Unofficial TIDAL Client for Linux, Hits Beta
Quoting: Tonearm, New Unofficial TIDAL Client for Linux, Hits Beta - OMG! Ubuntu —
It’s the third unofficial client for Linux I’ve covered, joining High Tide and the Electron-based Tidal-Hifi.
All exist as TIDAL doesn’t provide a Linux app itself, leaving users with the option of the web player. The web app works fine, but it means keeping a browser tab open and losing out on system-side niceties like media controls and keyboard shortcuts.
Thankfully, TIDAL offer a robust API that, with a bit of open-source ingenuity around it, enables unofficial apps to exist – all using the service in an officially-unofficially way since, y’know, it’s their API.
