I'm happy to give Qobuz my money for providing an excellent music library and be the best paying streaming service for the musicians that I listen to.

Their recommendations are from notable people in that genre too, properly curated recommendations and playlists.

They also have a strong AI charter that AI generated music must be labeled as such, similar to how Steam works. Hopefully soon you will be able to filter it out if you want to from searches.

I switched from you-know-who to Tidal and while I appreciate the sound quality the UI kinda sticks. How are you finding Qobuz?

I made the same journey. Used Tidal 1-2 years but never felt quite comfortable with it. The one that shall not be mentioned have got a lot in the UI right.

I'm still quite new to Qobuz but I like it much better. Their recommendations are much better, the search is much better, more info about fringe artists and sometimes albums too. Some bands/artists with the same name have confused albums but it's expected and okay I think.

Over all I'd say that Tidal is a great streaming service but Qobuz has music nerd appeal that reminds me of walking into my favourite record stores and chatting about new releases and recommendations from somebody that actually cares.

Getting back to you question, I see room for improvement but I'm much more comfy with Qobuz than I ever was with Tidal.

I might give Q a try in that case, thanks

I think Qobuz feels much more premium than the two others. And at least for me, Qobuz Connect works like what I was missing from Sp_tify Connect when using Tidal.
