Qobuz Lossless Streaming Service Thread

[runssical]

I used Apple for a while for that reason - but every time I listen to Qobuz it sounds better. Can't get away from it!

I actually switched back to Tidal...Qobuz deffo sounds better, but the app is way behind Spotify/Tidal....

I always avoid the official app and use Bubble or UAPP as the frontend.

I rather discover new music on my own rather than leave it up to an algorithm that has the pitfalls of circular logic and relies and solidifies group-think.

I agree. One of the most off-putting things about Tidal...

Yeah, I like UAPP, but you can't play downloads which is essential for me.

I've noticed on my Qobuz app on my Android phone, along the bottom task bar, on the "Offline Library" icon there is a little red dot, and it looks like a tiny "1" inside it and there is a down arrow constantly moving down over this icon. I have never used the Offline Library, did I inadvertently turn on downloading to my offline library? I cannot figure out how to turn this off.

Also, "My Weekly Q" never seems to include anything I've ever listened to, and doesn't even seem to follow my favorite genres. Is there any way to set Qobuz so the Weekly Q is more accurate, or increase better quality music discovery? Also, the Weekly Q lists only about 30 songs. Is there any way to increase the number of songs? It seems music discovery with Qobuz is fairly dismal, or I'm doing something wrong...

TIA

The animated down arrow means it is currently downloading, and the "1" means there is one track remaining to be downloaded. If that indicator is always there, something got stuck while trying to download a track, or the UI animation didn't get turned off. Is it still there after you terminate the app (swipe it away in the task manager) and restart it?

Terminating the app in the task manager appears to have stopped it. Somehow I must have bumped "Import" at some point?

When I go to Offline Library nothing appears under Releases, Tracks, Playlists or Artists. So I guess nothing got imported, which is fine by me since I didn't intentionally initiate an import in the first place.


BTW, I cannot terminate or swipe away usb audio player pro in task manager. It seems to be stuck there. Any thoughts on that?

Check your UAPP settings - Stop on task removal. Failing this, check your phones notifications settings for the UAPP App.

Stop on task removal was enabled. UAPP is still open in the task manager.
In phone notification settings for UAPP what settings should I look for?
Notifications are blocked

I don't know what phone you have. You could download a pdf copy of your phone's user manual - it may shed some light?

Hi there

I'm hoping someone here can help me... I currently have subs for both Tidal and Qobuz.
I desperately want to like Qobuz but I really struggle with the app. Actually not the app, which is fine, but the searching.

Whenever I search for a track it almost never gives me what I want, either searching by artist, or track name. And forget ever searching for a soundtrack, all I get is curated soundtracks which sometimes are the original tracks just manually pulled together, but often as n

Look for "Guardians of the galaxy" and you get "Music inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy". This is one of the better ones but even that is wrong, e.g. has Elton John's Spirit in the Sky, not Norman Greenbaum. And why give me Elton John's track instead of Norman's when if I search for that manually it is available?
Equally often we can get covers that have nothing to do with the original tracks, or even instrumental/lift music.

Look for "Michael Jackson". The first hit is "the essential Michael Jackson". The second is "This is It". The third is some homage called "never say Goodbye" which is a Jazz pianists collection of MJ covers.

I appreciate people curating their own playlists but why does the app prioritise third-party stuff above the actual author, singles, albums and soundtracks that I'm looking for? Although it can make for entertaining albeit embarrassing party mixes it makes it impossible to find anything unless I am very lucky with my searches.

Am I missing something here?
