Can't download any format that's not AAC

[alexdeve01]

I'm working on Terminal in a MacBook Air M1 2020, and I can't download any codec that's not AAC, the same error appears all the time:

Song is not downloadable or is not available in the chosen codec, skipping

What can I do?

Support for non-legacy codecs will not be provided, since experimental codecs are already expected not to work due to API limitations.

Thanks a lot for your work!

Apparently there are workarounds to support this

https://github.com/rwnk-12/apmyx-gui and https://github.com/zhaarey/apple-music-downloader use https://github.com/zhaarey/wrapper

There is also https://github.com/WorldObservationLog/AppleMusicDecrypt

Can confirm that zhaarey’s ALAC/ATMOS downloader is excellent, been using it for quite a while. Hopefully lossless support can be added to this project as well since it writes all the metadata tags whereas zhaarey’s has a few itunes-related fields missing.
