I'm not the one you're asking, but I'm in a similar situation. I've attemped to get this working and the problem is that their Windows client must be downloaded and installed through the Microsoft Store and it's packaged in a way you can't run in standalone after extracting it. Some apps published through the MS Store do work fine this way, but I could not get it working for the Apple Music client.

Apple Music does have a web player, but it is also limited to lossy streaming like alternative clients like Cider is.

Ah, I see, that's a shame. Amazon had/has an alternative installer. I am trying Tidal now, which has several Linux apps that provide full quality, though even the browser version goes up to 16bit/44.1kHz I think.
