Lossless FLAC,
downloaded honestly.

Community proxies for Tidal, Qobuz and Amazon are mostly down right now. FLACidal still gets your FLAC: through your own self-hosted endpoint first, Soulseek P2P always after.

Why FLACidal

Designed not to break

Nothing here is a single point of failure. A dead Tidal or Qobuz proxy just means FLACidal reaches for the self-hosted priority endpoint first, and if that's down too, Soulseek P2P is still there: no account, no API key, about five minutes to configure.

Five sources, one queue

Tidal · Qobuz · Amazon · Bandcamp · Soulseek

Automatic fallback until one succeeds.

P2P backbone

Soulseek needs no proxy, no API key, no third-party service to stay up.

Full metadata

UPC, ISRC, lyrics, popularity, embedded cover art, plus AIFF / ALAC / WAV conversion.

Five-minute setup

Make a free Soulseek account in the Nicotine+ or Soulseek client.
Open FLACidal → Settings → Soulseek and enter your username and password.
FLACidal installs the sldl helper automatically; no manual binary wrangling.
Move Soulseek to the top of your source order, then download as usual.
