![]() ![]() Or did you think they just deploy a server in their basements?Īssuming you are replying to me, frankly I don’t really care a jot about their infracstructure for all of this stuf, I just feel that local taxes aside that economies with similar demographics ought to have reasonably similar prices. They need agreements with rights holders in all markets that they will deploy to and provide the service in. To provide good uninterrupted service they need to deploy local edge distribution nodes etc. So instead of simply not automatically adding prior purchases to the ‘library’ database they got rid of the ability to stream your prior purchases from your Qobuz section in the app, and for the life of me I can’t see why they can’t continjue to implement that part of the Qobuz API.Īdmittedly loads of users can’t see why I want that facility but I and several others do, but that request to reinstate a feature has fallen on deaf ears. Stupidly Qobuz decided such purchases would be automatically added to the local library database, but then there was duplication of Qobuz files downloaded to the local storage and those available to stream. I was delighted when Roon addd Qobuz support, as in the Qobuz section I could view all my Qobuz purchases under a tab and stream them even if I’d not downloaded them. ![]() ![]() Qobuz price zip#I’ve purchased quite a few things from Qobuz - albums generally come as zip files, so you have to download, archive, decompress and organise/transfer to NAS etc.Īdmittedly I’ve not downloaded some sale purchases or haven’t finished downloading a few huge compilations that won’t download as enormous ZIPs. Qobuz also has an editorial aspect, with artist profiles, album reviews, news, interviews and more.įor example, to celebrate the Australian launch, there’s a feature on the history of Aussie Hip-Hop, profiling artists like Genesis Owusu, Hilltop Hoods, Seth Sentry and Unlimited Sound.Don’t understand your reference to pulling Qobuz tracks? Though, there’s a little more to the service than just high-fidelity music streaming. For comparison, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Tidal all charge $11.99 per month for their basic plans, while Tidal charges $23.99 per month for its HiFi plan. Its high price tag is a clear indication that Qobuz is specifically targeting serious audiophiles with its service, rather than the general public that Spotify and Apple Music caters to. ![]() Qobuz has actually been around since 2007 but has slowly expanded to a number of countries over the years, including the US in 2019, and now Australia and New Zealand in 2021. Positioned as a high-fidelity competitor to Tidal, Qobuz promises an “unparalleled listening experience” and the ”purest sound quality,” available to stream and download in CD quality (or HiFi/HD) or high-resolution studio quality (24-bit, up to 192khz). This is why I was surprised when I received a press release announcing just that, a brand new music streaming service in Australia, Qobuz. If you had asked me back in 2014 before Tidal launched I probably would have said the same thing. If you had asked me yesterday, I would have said there was no more room for new music streaming services in Australia. ![]()
