If you're looking to *buy* digital music and the artist isn't on Bandcamp, I highly recommend #qobuz.

You do not need to be subscribed to their streaming service to buy music from them!

They have a wide selection of music and offer both "CD quality" and high-bit rate versions of most music. You can download via a web browser or with their downloader app that make downloading in bulk easier. You can download in both lossless and lossy formats.

No need to give Apple (or Amazon) my money now.

@aanee Ooops, you're correct. Sorry about that. I guess #Qobuz is a good alternative then: https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/interpreter/honningbarna/1891881

Testing #Qobuz as a replacement for #Spotify:

- Signup was a bit wonky, prices vague

- Listening to the same album on Spotify & Qobuz. I might be imagining it, but Qobuz HiRes version does seem to sound a bit better.

- How many of my playlists, tracks, artists & albums from Spotify are available on Qobuz?

Using #Soundiiz, offered for free by Qobuz to find it in Qobuz catalogue. This will take some time...apparently I have at least one playlists with 10K songs 😬

#Music #Bigtech

Do I know people using #Qobuz? What are your experiences? Please share

With regards to:
- their mobile apps
- does it work with your car
- does it work with stuff like Denon/HEOS
- does it have all music teenagers want 😉
- does it have a policy around genAI music
- does it have podcasts
etc

Currently we use #Spotify, but I really don't like supporting a company more or less killing the livelihood of artists, promoting AI slop & supporting podcasts crap like Rogan.

I'm currently using Apple Music but I started testing out Qobuz today and so far it's pretty good, but I'm not sure if it's good enough to switch. Both are leagues better than Spotify at the very least though.

Quitting #Netflix and #Spotify this month and finding #qobuz has helped me realize there are choices out there. You dont have to settle for the enshittification, you can find good options. Now if I can find a good alternative for Netflix.

I switched from #spotify to #qobuz last week and not only is the music quality better it is much less of a terrible company.

How to quit Spotify: a guide from Brian Merchant.

He's gone with Qobuz, a platform that I'm also running with. I'd love to try Coda, as they claim to give artists the most money; I've listed my favourite music-streaming platforms on a page: https://garden.pivic.com/music/music-streaming-platforms - please let me know if I've missed a good platform that treats musicians like human beings.

While places like Spotify and Tidal are overrun by AI slop, Qobuz feels *clean*.

I switched from #Spotify to #qobuz , and I am very happy with the change. The music quality is better and the artists are paid more.
