A nightmare regarding streaming?


Greetings,

Many of us stream daily and have many cherished playlists. I happen to use Qobuz and have lost more than one playlist. No clue as to why. Qobuz has no idea either.  Perhaps something in the cloud? Is it possible to back up all your playlists just in case there is a meltdown?

How do you export a Roon playlist to PDF?  Thanks

Hi @cfa88  I had to try a few times to remember myself.  Open the playlist and click the three dots to the right of "Play Now"

 

Click export:

 

Now this does not seem to work currently on my ipad but does work on my macbook.  Hope the screenshots made it.  Ken

 

Thanks to all,

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like there is no sureproof way to back up Qobuz playlists. We all remain at the mercy of the cloud.

You can export the list using any one of a variety of tools, such as Soundiiz.

I’m a third vote for Soundiiz. With Soundiiz, you can keep track of saved artists, albums, songs, and playlists across music services. And, you can transfer these saved items from one service to another whenever you migrate. Soundiiz serves as a meta platform.

Some of this Soundiiz functionality is free. If you come up against a paywall, you can pay for just a month to transfer things around. (I pay monthly for the ability to update Spotify's dynamically changing playlists in Tidal, which Tidal playlists are then accessible in Roon.)

I take an opposite view from lalitk. He prefers a proprietary app. I want a manufacturer agnostic app because I don’t want my content to be tied to the health of any specific device or manufacturer.

So, yes, you can back up all of your saved music from Qobuz to Soundiiz. If you’d like additional redundancy, from there you can then back up your saved music to Spotify/Tidal etc.

Many, many thanks to all, especially classdstreamer.

I just purchased Soundiiz and transferred all my Qobuz playlists. That is the best $36.00 I ever spent! Thanks to your advice I will definitely sleep better...beginning tonight!

Greatly appreciated!
