Qobuz with Roon for me. Roon Arc in the car and on travel.
Sacrilege. No music while driving!
Started with Tidal since Qobuz wasnât available in Canada at that time. Switched to Qobuz when it became available in Canada as I thought the hi-res albums in Qobuz sounded a bit better than the MQA versions in Tidal. Qobuz had all of my Tidal favourites and so the switch was seamless. No reason to switch back now that Tidal has, for all intents and purposes, dropped MQA. Iâd consider having both if Qobuz didnât have albums I was looking for and Tidal had them, but so far, Iâve never been unable to find an album I was looking for in Qobuz. Only annoyance with Qobuz is that sometimes Roon says a Qobuz favourite is no longer available to play despite it being available in the Qobuz app, but the âfixâ is to delete the album from Roon and then find and save it as a favourite; but I suspect this is more likely a Roon problem than a Qobuz problem.
I am the same for normal driving (no music). But for longer car rides, i do enjoy Sirius. Iâm serious, lol
Yes, the Audi SQ5âs B&o stereo system is fine as many friends have commented. But, I am with Elk, seriously ditched the Sirius.
While I do stream with Qobuz, I mainly use it to explore. Finding albums I like I tend to purchase them direct from the performer(s).
What a great picture!
I agree. That thumbed note!
No surprise Qobuz is best.
anyone else have all their Qobuz albums go disappearing in Roon? Itâs a known issue, roon is working on it, but kinda weird.
If you go to the native Qobuz app, theyâre all there. And you can see a bunch of them in your âMy Qobuzâ tab in roon, but theyâre missing from the regular library. Tidal unaffected.
You can still find and play the albums, but they donât act like theyâre in your library.
At least I have a crap ton of CDs ripped into roon, so itâs only a minor annoyance.
Mine are all still present, in Roon. I havenât used the Qobuz app in over a year.
theyâre flipping out on the roon forum. Itâs a bloody revolt! ![]()
Weird. I checked my system and no sign of my Qobuz faves disappearing. When you try to play them is that when they vanish?
I am checking all my Qobuz playlists and everything is there.
Do you know which Roon release is having these problems?
I am on build 1496. The latest I believe.
I donât ever go to the Roon forum. It is like the opposite of this forum.
Instead of only one or two bad guys, it is only one or two good guys.
But they stammer.
might happen if you restart/reboot
donât do it
I typically donât do that. Grimm MU2 is pretty stable.
Disappearing or unavailable? If itâs unavailable, murrayb provided a solution a few posts back⊠worked like a charm!
Qobuz is all I have, except for Symphony.Live, which I just subscribed to for classical videos on the living room TV.
I rarely use the Qobuz desktop app. It seems slow and hard to access features. I like the mobile app much better, though even there Iâve had downloaded content disappear once, when I upgraded my phone last month. Apparently that data was the only thing that didnât get ported over to the new phone for some reason. It wasnât a catastrophic event, as my DL library wasnât large, and I change it regularly as I cycle through the music while at the gym.
There was one time recently when I thought my downloads had disappeared again, plus when I went to re-download the first of them, the download button didnât appear in the app. I thought theyâd decided to delete overnight a crucial feature of the service, but when I looked into it further I saw it was pure user error. I had accidentally engaged an additional filter when I asked it to display my library, and nothing in it made it through that filter. And the download button wasnât appearing on that album when I searched because the album was already among my downloads (though invisible to me). Once I got myself sorted out, everything was back to normal. Thatâs what I get for only learning enough about apps to do the very basic stuff I need - sometimes I stray into other features and options I donât know my way around, and it inevitably causes problems for me. I think my lifetimeâs ability to understand anything digital was all used up when I taught myself AutoCAD in my 30s.
Qobuz already has more music than I could ever want to listen to in a lifetime. Anything I listen to beyond Qobuz is so rare that none of the streaming services would ever have it, so to give money to a company I strongly dislike (Tidal) that would duplicate most of what I already listen to, makes no sense to me.
That said, I stream very little from Qobuz. Itâs more of a tool to discover music when Iâm âcredit surfingâ my way through Roon, or to purchase downloads (as we need to support the artists). Most of my listening is from my library stored on a NAS. Qobuz works perfectly for me as a supplement to my library, and has the added bonus of being portable so I donât need to carry music with me on road trips anymore. I use a large SD card in the car for digital, but in the hotel rooms, I can listen to most anything I want on Qobuz. If they donât have it, big dealâI can wait the week or two to get home and listen to my collection in person.
