A nightmare regarding streaming?


Greetings,

Many of us stream daily and have many cherished playlists. I happen to use Qobuz and have lost more than one playlist. No clue as to why. Qobuz has no idea either.  Perhaps something in the cloud? Is it possible to back up all your playlists just in case there is a meltdown?

Just another vote for Physical Media.  I’ve made play lists from files burned to my NAS that have never gone nowhere.  When I tried this with Qobuz I lost a few during my first few weeks

My streaming service is Apple Music.  I stream primarily to audition unfamiliar recordings and then if I really like something I buy it.  I used to do Qobuz but my wife really wanted Apple and I didn’t want to pay for another service.

  I dislike lauding Apple for anything, but many years ago I had made playlists in iTunes.  When we switched to Apple Music all my iTunes files, which I hadn’t accessed for a few years and were created before the Apple streaming service existed, have reappeared along with the playlists that I had made.  A few recordings in the playlist show as files but no music appears, and when I check it’s because the recording is no longer carried by Apple.  That seems to be an issue with all streaming services.  Anyway, the playlist themselves have been maintained for years
