So long TIDAL, welcome Qobuz.

All change on the streaming front again. Why have I left TIDAL after only a few months? I don’t really feel I want to support a company part-owned by billionaire musicians that actively ignore the struggles of the people and groups they publicly, and lucratively, proclaim to support. Google it.

So I’ve switched to Qobuz. The selection is not quite as comprehensive, though almost everything I want is there. The recommendations are nothing like as good as Spotify, or even TIDAL, and there’s no “Qobuz Connect”, yet. But the app is stable, it doesn’t randomly stop playing (yet), even in the car, and most importantly the sound quality is very, very good, at least as good as TIDAL.

Interestingly, to me anyway, the Android app bears more similarity to the other French streaming service, Deezer, than to Spotify.
