You don’t need an entire VM just for Apple Music! There’s an open source client for it available on Mac and Linux. They just dropped development, but it still works. https://github.com/ciderapp/Cider/releases/tag/v1.6.2
I have tried Cider before. It's a solid client, but there's some stuff that's still missing for me. I can live without lossless audio, but gapless playback when listening to albums is very important for me and Cider doesn't support it unfortunately.
Totally understandable, them making the project closed-source is making me switch off too, but the last open-source version works in a pinch.
Well, since that comment several hours ago I just set up Apple Music on Waydroid, with lossless. If need be, the Android version of Apple Music works pretty well on Waydroid. There's some hoops to go through (Google's certification, the app needing fake WiFi for anything above low-quality AAC) but once it's done it works.
I didn’t know about the fake Wi-Fi so I just thought it wouldn’t work, Good catch! I’ll use it
