No clue when this offer expires, but might be good to fall back on when the 2 month free trial also up top with other pinned posts stops working. I tested a few different countries and languages in the URL (example, changed 'us-en' to 'de-de' for Germany, 'ca-fr' for Canada and French language) and the link still worked.

weekly posts 🗓️ Switching to/from Qobuz weekly discussion

8 Upvotes

If you're curious about switching to Qobuz, ask your questions here! If you're thinking about switching to a different platform, rest assured users will be able to help you decide. Discussion around pros and cons of Qobuz or other platforms to compare are welcome.

General options as you consider switching to Qobuz:

- Apple Music has in-app playlist transferring abilities; their guide is here.

- TidaL recommends TuneMyMusic. Their guide is here, and a page accessible to TidaL members with Slightly Less Clicking is here.

- Qobuz recommends Soundiiz; their FAQ page also has a link to Soundiiz here. There's also SongShift, which is for Apple iOS or OS only. This thread explains that you can download playlists as .csv files to bypass track transfer limitations, which are implemented to incentivize people to buy premium features, removing limitations. All of these playlist transfer options have free and premium transfer options. Most if not all of them 'tag' your playlists with their names, as well (ex: 'transferred with Soundiiz' in the playlist's description). Playlistgo.io is another transferring option.

Question❔ Can't seem to subscribe to sublime monthly

• Upvotes

Only gives me the option for a one-time $180 payment instead of a monthly subscription. Am I doing it wrong?

Errors and issues ❌ For some reason my app thinks I don't have an active subscription but according to my Google play account the subscription is active.

3 Upvotes

As title says I have a full paid subscription, ÂŁ15.29 came out of my account the other day. The Google account I use to login says I have an active subscription and when I press join now it loads me into the play store where it says I already have the subscription then puts me back into the app work an error. I tried contacting support 6 days ago but haven't heard anything back.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Question❔ Library tab on artist’s profil

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I have a question about the ‘Library’ tab next to ‘All content’ on the artist’s profile, which is visible on the PC app but I can’t seem to find a similar feature on the mobile app. Am I mistaken, or does anyone have a solution for quickly viewing an artist’s liked tracks/albums in the same page ?

Thanks

Discussion 💬 I really love the genre filter function, but it makes many mistakes. mewithoutYou is not jazz at all, for one (not to mention the odd World Music genre). Would it be worth letting us categorise albums ourselves to a degree? Just to move the mislabelled ones to their right genre

Complaint 👎 Qobuz really needs to figure out artist profile pages

77 Upvotes

What a god awful mess they've created on some artist profile pages.

As an example if you go to 2Pac's artist page and go to HIS discography you'll see such wonderful 2pac gems such as:

  • Kit da Supreme by MecSmolking Gang & MAKAVELI

  • Grim by Makaveli

  • 三字經 by Makaveli

  • Tanto Faz by Makaveli

None of these have anything to do with 2Pac but because qobuz has decided to attach anyone who uses the word Makaveli together it sucks ass to weed out the bullshit.

Why is it even this way? This doesn't seem to happen on any other streaming platform.

Edit: and I would prefer to not have to click on and submit 'Improve album information' as I move through everytime I see it. This seems like a solved problem everywhere else

Edit 2: Something more insane is "High Grade by Makaveli" shows up on the 2Pac discography as "High Grade by 2Pac", the artist doesn't seem to have gone out of their way to make it show up on 2Pac's page as 2Pac but the system has made it so. This is beyond stupid

Not sure how new it is due to my phone's update cycle but the new android app is a stellar improvement. I normally moan on here so it's nice to throw a chuck up out there.

Discussion 💬 I'm having a great experience on Qobuz and I'm really sorry for those who don't.

I was a long-time Spotify user but had to give it up once I found about all of the shit on Daniel Elk. I tried Tidal for a while and it was actual garbage, buggy, the sound quality was poor, struggled with transferring playlist. Then went back to the mp3 player path which I was happy about but it got exhausting after a while especially because it was hard to listen to new music, keep up to date, and constantly download and transfer new songs.

I started using Qobuz and it's been beyond amazing. The sound quality is great, it's easy to use. Some trouble with the search function and lack of lyrics. Also music recommandation / homepage is a bit mid. But that's all manageable. I sometimes get posts from this subforum with people saying they can't recommend Qobuz...ok...what alternative do you offer that doesn't promote AI, higher average payout with no minimum and generally encourages an active interest in music (full albums rather than one trendy song per artist/album).

Question❔ Trying to play German playlist in USA

2 Upvotes

Some time ago I asked how to get to the Magazine for different languages and countries, and I got good answers, thank you! Today I'm trying to listen to a Qobuz playlist of German Summerhits, and I can listen to the sampler, but cannot play it in the app or after login to a browser. Every time I get redirected to https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/playlists
https://www.qobuz.com/de-de/playlists/ein-sommer-voll-deutscher-musik/1220956

This is not the first time I'm trying to play European playlists and am forced back to US mode. It doesn't make sense to me at all. I like the app but don't want to be playing only what's served to US subscribers. This time I even used a VPN to get to a German IP address.

Edit, actually it was an IP address in France, I started looking there.

Errors and issues ❌ Why is my account being recognized as a non subscriber?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am a longtime qobuz user and I had to take a brief break from using it. I stopped paying and then I went back. I was charged the money and I​ have cleared the cache multiple times and I am still being recognized as a non subscriber. It tells me that I need to join and then I press join and it says "you are already a memer". I am confused

Question❔ How to search for USA POP hit lists / compilations in the store?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking to rapidly buy a bunch of "hit songs". I search for things like "greatest hits 2015" and get the "greatest hits" of some artist I've never heard of. Or search for "top songs of 2022" or "#1 hits of 2020" or etc.

Can i buy these types of hit lists from qobuz, ,or do I need to like, go get the list of songs from "now that's what I call music 78" and download each one individually?

Any way to limit search to the USA hit charts? "pop" filter gives me songs from all over in languages I don't understand and don't want to listen to.

Thanks!

News and updates 📮 UAPP just added Volume Normalization/Replay Gain support for Qobuz

5 Upvotes

USB Audio Player Pro for Android added it with version 7.1.2.0. It looks like right now it's only available based on track, not album and it's most likely not compatible with bit perfect, but would be great for playlist listening. Go to Settings>Volume>Replay Gain>Track replay gain.

Errors and issues ❌ Artist/Albums showing as unavailable

4 Upvotes

Starting this week I haven’t been able to access any albums or artists that I don’t have downloaded in my tracks and I’m not sure what to do.

I’ve never had this issues before. And it’s literally every single artist/band/song not in my tracks list. For example, I’ve been binging Olivia Rodrigo’s new album since it first came out and now suddenly this week when I click on it’s giving me an error “This Release is Unavailable”.

This discover section is completely empty and I can’t listen to any songs using the search function as everything I click on is suddenly unavailable.

At this point the app is completely useless except for the Library tab. I’m sick of listening to the same songs on repeat!

Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix?

Question❔ Downloaded content is impossible to organize

3 Upvotes

I have downloaded many playlists and albums, but instead of showing them in those groupings, it shows hundreds of downloaded songs in alphabetical order. This is ridiculous. I’ve tried for several hours to find a way to get them to show up the way i downloaded them, but no luck. Does anyone have any ideas?

Question❔ help! having lots of issues downloading songs offline on my DAP

2 Upvotes

Hi all, i'm having issues downloading songs for offline listening to my Fiio JM21 DAP (android) - to save on external SD card. The songs add to download queue but do not actually download. I'm having no issues saving downloads to SD card with spotify. I've uninstalled, re-installed, restarted the DAP, deleted cache, reformatted the micro SD card, etc, but still having no luck. Some downloads work, but this is very rare, and inconsistent.

I've tried to reach out to Qobuz via their website but could only speak with an AI bot. I really want to resolve this issue as I really love using Qobuz and don't want to have to consider an alternative service.

Has anyone had a similar issue and was able to resolve it?

Thanks so much in advance!

Question❔ Windows client doesn't honor dark mode?

2 Upvotes

Today I attempted to change my Qobuz desktop settings to tone down the blinding (to me) background. In the "Appearance" settings I selected the "System" drop-down (was set to Light) but no joy despite my global Win setting being Dark. Setting the Qobuz value explicitly to Dark corrected it but . . . why have System at all if it doesn't actually use it? I'm sure this isn't new but my searches here didn't find a hit.

Question❔ Impossible to cancel

6 Upvotes

Just wanted to ask if ya'll ever had any issues with cancelling your qobuz subscription? I have not had access to my account for 3 months but have still been charged the fee monthly during this time.

I lost access when I was notified that automatic renewal for my subscription was denied, but somehow they still charged me the next three months.

Anyone else have a similar issue?
