Notes

• When using lossless quality, the outputted file will be of FLAC filetype. This is due to how TIDAL only offers M4A files using AAC, a lossy encoding.
• When using high or low quality, the outputted file will be of M4A filetype. This is due to how FLAC files are inherently lossless, and cannot be made lower quality.
• Not choosing a quality will result in low quality being used.
• The provided location must be a directory, and the path may not include missing directories.
• Providing no arguments will result in this help page being displayed.
• Providing no location will result in the file being stored within your current working directory.
