Example Usage

For Tidal and Qobuz, you NEED a premium subscription.

Download an album from Qobuz

rip url https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/rumours-fleetwood-mac/0603497941032

Download multiple albums from Qobuz

rip url https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/back-in-black-ac-dc/0886444889841 https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/blue-train-john-coltrane/0060253764852

Download the album and convert it to mp3

rip url --codec mp3 https://open.qobuz.com/album/0060253780968

To set the maximum quality, use the --max-quality option to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4:

Quality ID	Audio Quality	Available Sources
0	128 kbps MP3 or AAC	Deezer, Tidal, SoundCloud (most of the time)
1	320 kbps MP3 or AAC	Deezer, Tidal, Qobuz, SoundCloud (rarely)
2	16 bit, 44.1 kHz (CD)	Deezer, Tidal, Qobuz, SoundCloud (rarely)
3	24 bit, ≤ 96 kHz	Tidal (MQA), Qobuz, SoundCloud (rarely)
4	24 bit, ≤ 192 kHz	Qobuz

rip url --quality 3 https://tidal.com/browse/album/147569387

Using 4 is generally a waste of space. It is impossible for humans to perceive the between sampling rates higher than 44.1 kHz. It may be useful if you're processing/slowing down the audio.
