Quobuz issues on the Bluos app


I just finished a comparison between Tidal, Amazon HD, and Quobuz. Quobuz came out the winner, but not without some reservations.

I find that the SQ of Quobuz is slightly better than the other two, both in standard cd quality files and hi-rez. And I like the price of Quobuz when compared to Tidal. Price was a wash with Amazon HD.

But here is what I don’t like about Quobuz. Their catalog clearly lags behind Amazon and Tidal. I know they are working to make this better, but there are some obscure titles that I can find in Tidal that I’m not sure Quobuz will ever have. And no, I’m not going to pay for two streaming services. The other thing is that in the Bluos app, you cannot index your music by artist, album or alphabetically. The order of your library is the order that you save them as your favorites. Unless I am missing something, you cannot alphabetize in any fashion at all. I have contacted Bluos support and Quobuz support, but all I get is a lot of finger pointing at each other.

My question is twofold. Has anyone figured out a way to index their library that I might have overlooked. Secondly, I assume that if I go with a different streamer like Lumin, Auralic, etc., that this issue won’t exist?

@ozzy62 , I chose Qobuz over Tidal and Deezer because it's library is rich in classical and  the excellent SQ. The aforementioned issues are with BluOs on Android running Qobuz.

Ozzy, what device are you using?

Ozzy, 
The lack of a sorting function is a royal PITA. Qobuz has been around long enough to address this issue. I've gotten the same response as others, "we're working on it."

Another problem with the interface on Android is there isn't a Search function available on all screens. I have to backspace to find a screen with Search.
