Qobuz cracks down on AI-generated tracks, advocating for human music creation and curation

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
Honestly the importing of all my playlists went perfectly well using Soundiiz. 15 years of playlists over with minimal loss in less than an hour.
Oh the impot itself went fine and quickly. But I have like 400+ playlists or something, so not being able to use folders isn't an option. Cause that's just inexcusable in 2026 to have a service where you can't even nest or sort playlists. That was absolutely wild to me, and a hurdle I didn't expect was even possible.
Additionally, when checking for which songs it failed to import, of which there was a surprising number, quite a few of my favorites were missing. And it's not like it just didn't correctly map them, they weren't available at all. Generally like 15-20% of songs were missing. And that's just waaay too much to accept for me.
Ah, never really used folders but in retrospect it does sound like a cool feature.
Missing songs for me was like 1 to 2%, and usually relatively easy to solve by looking for the songs myself. Some songs were different versions, but that's probably less than 1%.
