So, as part of my efforts to move away from US-owned services, I think I'm nearly done with #Tidal.
Obviously, fuck #Spotify and #YouTubeMusic, so that leaves me with these two French companies #Deezer and #Qobuz.
Any opinions, people?

Qobuz Delivers 45.7% Revenue Growth in 2025 in a Paid Music Streaming Market Growing at 8.8%
"The success story of an independent French company that has become a global player alongside the music streaming giants"
A 45.7% increase in revenue in 2025. We're curious to know if the #BuyFromEU movement may have contributed to this?

#QBZ (a #Qobuz player) is gone. Does anybody have any idea what happened?
The website (https://qbz.lol/) has only a cryptic message. Legal pressure?
Oh, oh... I'm jumping up and down in excitement!
The developer of the native Qobuz music player for Sailfish OS, Fiat Pons, has added MPRIS (Media Player Remote Interfacing Specification, the standard communication protocol used on Linux) and both Hi-res and Ultra Hi-res formats in an upcoming release.

@guildem@mamot.fr Yes, I cannot load content from Qobuz. Time to end my subscription… I subscribed cause of QBZ and the app for Sailfish OS. Qobuz was my favorite music streaming service #Qobuz #QBZ #opensource
🇫🇷 A la radio, une chanson d'un artiste qui s'appelle Teddy Swims et qui s'intitule "Mr. Know it all" m'a donné envie d'en découvrir plus et je vais peut-être me laisser tenter par l'album... La question, version physique ou version Qobuz (FLAC qualité CD) et graver moi-même le cas échéant? Le prix est quasi du simple au double...
🇬🇧 On the radio, a song from an artist called Teddy Swims and titled "Mr. Know it all" awakened my curiosity about him and it could be I'd be tempted to buy his first album... The question is : a physical CD or a download at Qobuz (FLAC data in CD quality) and burn myself? CD is twice expansiver than digital version...

@ueeu@social.vivaldi.net The #BuyFromEU was definitely the reason I selected #qobuz.
Also because #deezer doesn’t work with a #vpn

Looks like #Qobuz is listening to @europeanspodcast@mastodon.social - it now has #lyrics support (finally, long overdue)... and a translation button!
And the translation appears below the original line so you can sing along

🚨 NEW EPISODE
We're deep into a hot hot summer and a lot of things are terrible, so forgive us for ignoring the news for one week and bringing you a celebration of Europe's best pop music instead.
We had a ludicrous amount of fun making this episode. Here's to it becoming a new annual tradition!

Mercredi confession : dans un moment de désarroi, j’ai tenté de mettre à jour mon moyen de paiement #Spotify. Sans succès : sur la page de connexion à mon compte, impossible de passer le Google #Captcha (deux tentatives d’une vingtaine [!] de puzzles, soldées par une erreur serveur).
Ayé, j’ai suffisamment la gniarre pour passer à #BandCamp + #Qobuz.
Les caquètements du Grand Palmipède sont parfois mystérieux, mais toujours pertinents.

Hey music lovers! Are you looking for a #Spotify alternative? Then I got some free codes for #Qobuz for you! They are 5 invites connected to this code, so first come first serve. This code will give you 2 months of free streaming.
Qobuz is a French competitor that's been around since the early days of music streaming, have a great catalog, DRM free purchases and they pay artists a better share than the competitors.
What are you waiting for? Grab yours now!

@eWalthert@typo.social @matt@oslo.town Yeah, I’d love to support #tidal and #Qobuz but their apps are as closed as heaven or hell, depending on your vantage point

I'm currently revisiting #qobuz and it just occured to me that there is no native streaming service app (afaik) that can organize albums (or playlists) into collections. It's so simple and I'm sure many people prefer to sort their music in some meaningful ways without having to run their own media server or pay for something like Roon.
While Qobuz doesn't have collections natively, there is this excellent third-party open source app QBZ for linux desktops that does exactly that. I can finally organize albums into "my top of the year" or thematically.
And there is more - it can also add local folders and Plex servers to your library (Jellyfin is the the works) and filter by format and quality etc. - really expands the limited functionality of the Qobuz client. I wish there was something like that for #Tidal 🤔

I wish to play #MondayRandom10 today.
Solitude Standing (Suzanne Vega)The Trip (Still Corners)Mo' Onions (Booker T & the M.G.'s)Light Enough to Travel (the Be Good Tanyas)Constellations (the Oh Hellos)Davey Crocket (Thee Headcoatees)The Poor (Jesse Welles)White Feather Hawk Tail Deer Hunter (Lana del Rey)Sweet Jane (The Velvet Underground)Wade in the Water (John Butler Trio)
The music for last one always hits me as about 80% straight up copy-pasted from the Allman Brothers' Midnight Rider, but I don't mind a bit. I like the song and blast it loud on regular occasions.
(I use #Qobuz so the app is, um, limited but I have a big "songs I like" playlist I shuffled)
Turns out I’m not the only one who’s moved to Qobuz for music: https://www.wired.com/story/qobuz-is-the-anti-spotify-we-need-right-now/

Vor kurzem bin ich auf einen inoffiziellen Qobuz-Player für Linux aufmerksam geworden: QBZ https://qbz.lol
Ein paar Dinge gefallen mir daran:
- Kein Tracking/Telemetrie durch den Client. Bleibt nur noch das, was auf den Servern passiert.
- Verfügbar für mehrere Distros und MacOS
- CoverFlow: für iTunes und iPod Fans ein cooles Gimmick
- Hi-Res Audio wird unterstützt, auch auf externen DAC's
- DLNA/UPnP/Chromecast Support
Als ich Qobuz mal getestet hatte, fande ich den Webplayer als dauerhafte Lösung nicht besonders prickelnd.
Mal sehen, wie Qobuz in der neuen Artikelserie zum Thema Musik auf dem Kuketz-Blog abschneidet. Vielleicht nehme ich dann mal Geld in die Hand, und verzichte auf Spotify Free.
