Linux compatibility in the future?

[xtremekforever]

I am interested in this project because it seems like a really cool app. However, I'm wondering if you've though about Linux compatibility since Swift works well on Linux, and a lot of Linux users do use the terminal a lot.

Right now when I try to build the latest main, I get errors:

[11/18] Compiling ChaosByteStreams DataBuffer.swift

Looks like this is an issue in upstream libraries, so I'll file a ticket there as well and see if it's something they can get working....

But yeah, it would be awesome to have this on Linux since I primarily use Ubuntu 22.04 instead of macOS!

Hi!

The main issue with Linux right now is that MusicKit framework is not available there, and there is no Apple Music App on Linux so MusicKit could talk to it.

I am still looking for a workarounds, and the most obvious is to use Apple Music Web API, but that will require rewriting a lot of stuff... If you have any ideas feel free to suggest them!

Okay, that makes sense. So there's no real compatibility there. That's too bad!!! Unfortunately I don't have any ideas there, especially since I'm not familiar with the Apple-provided libraries and things on macOS.
