Interesting numbers from Qobuz, a french music streaming service. But the press releases have slightly different emphasis on being european in the different languages.

The first paragraph of this press release in german reads (translated):

Qobuz proves that a European alternative that relies on sound quality and human curation can also find its audience in a mass market dominated by tech giants and achieve a positive balance.

In the french and english version it reads:

The success story of an independent French company that has become a global player alongside the music streaming giants.

It seems they only emphasize being european in the german press release, it's missing from the english and french version.

Are you able to migrate Spotify playlists? I've cancelled my Spotify premium after more than ten years with them and on the hunt for a new provider. Got podcasts sorted already and I like their per-stream money for artists so very tempted.
