Qobuz vs. Tidal

FYI…Tidal is dropping its prices starting in April. $10.99 per month.

As to sound quality, I found it to vary based on streamer. If you’re running Aurender then Qobuz will sound slightly better. Tidal still sounds good and has some music that’s not available on Qobuz. With Lumin and Bricasti I found Tidal to sound a bit better.
It’s worth having both if you can afford it.

Also the search leaves a lot to be desired.

@arnold_h Amen brother.  I’ve got the same complaints, and I emailed Qobuz a year or so ago about it but obviously nothing has happened.  With the level of tech today you wouldn’t think it’d be too hard to have someone fairly easily implement a decent search function, and I’m sure we’re not the only ones who are dissatisfied/frustrated with it.  Plus, as a customer it just comes across like they don’t give a crap.  Seems like an unforced error to me.

That's a function of the software you're using to stream Qobuz, e.g. Conductor if you're using an Aurender, or perhaps Volumio if you're using a Raspberry Pi.

I guess I have to be more careful when deleting. Perhaps I will use the Qobuz app on my phone. 

Many thanks as well to the individual who was kind enough to share his playlists!

OP,

So the issue is with the Conductor app. Are you using version 3 or 4?

Aurender introduced the new Conductor 4 app a few months ago. There have been some problems for some folks, it was a major upgrade. I have introduced new software to large groups most of my life. There are always problems, some organizations are better at it than others. It seems to have created some problems. They are working on them. You can just go back to version 3 and stay there for six months or so as Aurender irons out the bugs.

I have been fortunate not to experience any significant issues.
