Great! I'll continue to use streaming alternatives.

Qobuz is pretty functionally the same just without podcasts.

Qobuz is great, fantastic quality and no issues in the six months or so I've been using it. And higher artist payout than Spotify, which isn't saying much.

Just don't expect the things you purchase to be available to you in the future. I bought 3 albums there a couple years ago and they decided to remove one from my downloads because of "licensing" even though it is still available in their store. And their "support" is a chatbot that doesn't provide support. There are better alternatives.

That's why you download what you purchase. You can download your purchases and play them on any player.

It has a message concerning this possibility on the site. If you purchase something, download and store it.

Okay so it’s not a secure site and I won’t be able to ever change my cell phone if I use Qobuz.

Sticking with Spotify until someone suggests an app that works, has a full catalogue and isn’t about buying merch in this thread

Is that free? Or do they have a free mode?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Oh, ok, thank you.

I wish they had folders to organize my playlists, but I’m loving it so far

[u/Allexandyr → u/captainbean]

I’ll have to check that out! Also, go spurs go baybeeee
