Best thing I did this month was sign up. The service feels like a high quality adult version of spotify. It's definitely geared towards music enthousiasts with curated album picks, interviews, digital album covers, high resolution (better then cd) quality music and a UI that makes sense.

    @Lennarthellman wish there was something European for purchasing music as well. Bandcamp is nice, but it's too much money I'm giving to the US on every purchase.

    Wait, can you actually purchase music through Qobuz? And download it for an unlimited number of times in different formats (mp3, ogg, flac etc.)?

    They try to get you to sign up to their subscription, but they don't try too hard. I really enjoy that there's a downloads store, you can just go there, search up all the mainstream music you want, and buy it right on the website. No app or iPhone required.

    I switched from Spotify to Tidal last year because the CEO was an arse. My experience with Tidal is a bit hit and miss. At least I got it working ok on my Linux laptop and headless on my media server. How's is Qobuz on these fronts?

    The main thing for me was that Qobuz is from Europe. In doing so, it aligns with my desire to have a library with my album collection and less focus on playlists. That's a personal preference, of course. Previously, I was using Apple Music. And since using Qobuz in combination with Roon, I don't want anything else. I use (for now) an apple device. How stable it runs on Linux I don't know. But so I am very curious about that ๐Ÿ˜‰ ps. Roon also works with a time slot subscription.
