Made the switch to Qobuz over a year ago and I'm never going back to Spotify.
Everything about Qobuz is far superior.
Almost. Library has gaps, but itโs rapidly improving.
Same! Happy to be at Qobuz instead of Spotify who were happy to donate money to Trump and plug Joe Rogan
Has anyone seen an option or a mail adress to report music on qobuz? Just because I was interested and Spotify is notoriously bad at that, I looked up a few German far right bands up on Qobuz. Well, "Die Lunikoff-Verschwรถrung" is available for stream. The albums you can stream are not the banned ones, but why do they even have it in the first place? That is the most vile neo-Nazi music you could think of.
Edit.: someone reached out and the band has been delisted. I gave them a bit of feedback on how they could add an option for a report and that they should have their social medoa team reach out to feddit.
Also a lot of so called "gangsta rap", and plenty of muslim nasheeds that should be removed as well then I'm guessing.
I am not saying this because I just dislike the music or their message.
This band was "Landser" a banned neo-nazi rock band that was dissolved as a criminal organization meant to incite violence. He himself served a couple of years for incitement of violence, holocaust denial and founding and being part of a criminal organisation. Landser had songs that called for the death of Turks, muslims, jews leftists, gay people - you get the gist.
During his sentence he "toned" down the aggression to comply with the law but still plays for neo-nazis mostly for the likes of formerly known neo-nazi party NPD (now Die Heimat). His Band's albums are now at least indexed since they are barely within the scope of legality.
And my point is honestly more along the lines of quitting Spotify partly due their support of ICE and hosting far right media. If Qobuz does the same, then I will not be using their service any longer.
They don't seem to have any. I had to use their chat it, buts it's (ironically for this article) an AI infested pieced of hallucinating shit.
Eventually I got to a real person that sent my complaint (someone pretending to be another band) to their music team.
See my edit, someone also reached out to me.
Anyone has a good way of running it on Linux without using a browser or Chrome back-end?
No I am always using my browser.
Write them a mail. I am also planning on doing so. Also I want their app to be available outside of google store. (Maybe even Linux phone?)
The reason I chose them is because they are an alternative. Might as well commit on it.
I'll do so when I get a chance
You can use it with the Strawberry the music player with some tinkering.
There is an app on flathub.

Not a Qobuz user, but this was one big reason I left Tidal. Really took the joy out of the service.
