Library disappointment?


Hello, I’ve had Spotify for a long while and have built up some good playlists, one in particular has about 100 tracks in the electronic and ambiance genre.  Today I tried Qobuz for better quality, and when I imported my playlists, I got a crazy low import percentage.  In the case of my 100 song playlist, just 60 tracks came over, and it was similar with a couple other playlists.  Is this just the electronic genre, or will I have better luck with Tidal?  For the type of music I like, this blows.  Other thing I found odd, when a track or playlist would end, Qobuz would play another song completely random from another genre.  In this case from Foofighters to classical violin.  Spotify does a great job at suggesting similar music, is this just the experience, or what am I missing?

@dadork maybe I need another cup of coffee, but importing playlists is essentially creating a new playlist.  If you’re saying a net new list, with totally different music, well… lol.  The challenge is a huge portion of the library I’ve built over the years apparently doesn’t exist on Qobuz.  I’ll try Tidal today and import some playlists to see the % hit rate, or stick with lossy on Spotify until they (one day) release lossless.  I’m sure you’re fine with the Qobuz library if you’re listening to the Stones, Brittany and Mozart, but otherwise pretty disappointing so far..

Qobuz recommends using Soundiiz.com, which transfers playlists from any streaming app to another streaming app, in my case Spotify playlists to Qobuz, Tidal or wherever.    

It does also do "transfer, synchronize and platform to platform", but I just used the playlist transfer function.  At the end, it tells you how many songs it was able to match to the new Qobuz streaming library.  No actual file transfers take place.   

@dadork have you figured out the Qobuz song recommendation issue?  Doesn’t seem to have a similar music or playlist radio type function, but maybe I just haven’t found it.  When selected music, song or playlist ends, it just starts playing totally random music out of left field.
