Welcome. Just looked into this. The tool's not at fault; they've simply labelled a 16-bit track as 24.
Yeah I added some print()
to the code and realize that it's probably the case. Awful. :-(
Thanks anyway! :-D
Btw, do you know if mora qualitas actually shares the same catalogue as Napster? (In other words, instead of the mora store.) It appears to me that mora qualitas also suffers from the UMG watermark issue. I didn't expect that to happen with Japanese providers. (So far only OTOTOY's catalogue seems clean. Haven't bothered to purchase affected albums from mora or recochoku.)
I'm thinking so, but am not completely sure. You can see that every API in my wrapper belongs to Napster. https://github.com/Sorrow446/MQ-DL/blob/master/api/client.py
Well at least I confirmed that the catalogue of the mora store is (as for now) different from the one of mora qualitas. Just purchased this on both mora and ototoy and downloaded from mora qualitas and qobuz: https://mora.jp/package/43000006/00602507201623/ Only the checksums of the former two (raw tracks) are the same. So purchasing in Japan is still the only way to get original UMG tracks.
I suspect this happen when the site uses one "item" for both CD and HR files.
Thank you for the work btw. It allows me to at least have an extra source to cross-check my HR purchases on Qobuz for crap like UMG watermarking.
