Lollypop als Linux-Alternative zu Apple Music

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Lollypop is not a replacement for Apple Music if you rely on the streaming service. It is a local music player, not a streaming client. It works well for users who own their music files and want a lightweight, GNOME-native player with good organization features. It handles local libraries, playlists, and metadata fetching effectively. However, it lacks integration with Apple Music streaming, iCloud sync, or radio stations tied to Apple’s ecosystem. If your primary use case is streaming Apple Music, you need a different solution, such as a web browser or a dedicated streaming client that supports Apple Music, which Lollypop does not provide.

Ihre Apple Music-Dateien öffnen

Lollypop plays standard audio files (MP3, FLAC, OGG, AAC) that you export from Apple Music. It does not handle DRM-protected files or Apple-specific container formats. If you have purchased tracks, you can import them if they are in a supported, non-DRM format. There is no direct export function from Apple Music to Lollypop; you must manually copy files to your Linux music directory.

Von Apple Music zu Lollypop wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

  1. Export your local music files from your Windows machine to a USB drive or cloud storage.
  2. Copy the audio files to a designated music folder on your Linux system, such as ~/Music.
  3. Install Lollypop via your package manager or Flathub.
  4. Launch Lollypop and add your music folder to the library if not auto-detected.
  5. Organize playlists and check metadata accuracy using the online fetching feature.
  6. Test playback with ReplayGain enabled for consistent volume levels.
