Qobuz

I was a beta tester for Qobuz and like it very much.  Its album selection is acceptable and you can always find something to listen to.  I especially like their hi-res albums (24/96 and 24/192).  I dropped Tidal streaming since I was always listening to Qobuz. 

Qobuz has 575 available playlists and they are terrific.  For example, listen to Prestige 70 Jazz classics for 70 handpicked jazz tracks.  Many of them are in the hi-res format.  This Qobuz jazz playlist is 7 hours and 38 minutes long. This makes listening to music very easy.  Enjoy.   On my Aurender, I go to the playlist tab and look for Qobuz playlists that I like.  The Aurender Conductor App has a search option that is very useful to find interesting playlists.  You can also  mark your favorites for future listening. 

@tuberest, Qobuz is developing an API that will allow you to sort your Qobuz albums by artist.  This means you will be able to  organize your album downloads by artist in your Lumin streamer.   HOWEVER, Aurender, Lumin, etc, will need to implement this Qobuz API in their application in order to provide these sort options.   I do not know when Qobuz will finish their API or how long it will take these streamers to implement the API.  

If you are a Roon user, I believe you already have these sort capabilities.  

@gdnrbob, As I posted above, I was a beta tester for Qobuz and have requested Qobuz sort by artist options, etc. since I started beta testing earlier this year. 

I know they are working on the sort API and other similar improvements.  Unfortunately, I do not have their estimated completion date.  Once Qobuz releases the API, Aurender, Innuos, Lumin, etc. will need to implement the API within their application.  

Qobuz is now offering their Qobuz Studio subscription service for $149.99 per year. I signed up and they credited my account for the balance due and so I paid $105.

Qobuz reports "With your (Qobuz Studio) subscription, you have access to Hi-Res quality streaming, 40 million tracks, Available offline On all your devices and No strings attached".

This is a very smart move by Qobuz. They collect money, NOW, from subscribers, like me, who paid our yearly fees. They collect early and also, maybe, from new subscribers getting the new lower price. A very smart business decision. I recommend it.

Additional information:   "This LIMITED time promotion is available to the FIRST 100,000 new subscribers AND existing users until January 31, 2020".
