Official Qobuz Issues Thread

[steveoat]

Hi David,

 

I'm glad you are the person responsible for the launch.  I have good memories of dealing with you when you were with Peachtree Audio.

 

Any word as to when the service will be available to subscribers in the U.S.?

David,

 

One of the things I like about the Qobuz app is the ability to read .pdf booklets within the app.

 

However, most older titles do not have booklets, as well as most rock and jazz albums.

 

Are there plans to increase the number of available pdf booklets?

Sorry, no clue on the sluggishness issue.

I have the same problem.  The responsiveness is highly variable.  On some days, it is fine, on other days it takes forever to search or even to scroll albums. It seems to freeze and slowly starts to respond.

David,

 

As September approaches, anything you can share regarding launch date?  Will there be any beta testing?

Any update as to the launch date in US?

[steveoat]

Are we any closer to a launch?

 

About a week or so ago, Qobuz, on facebook, mentioned that those who signed up for early notification would hear soon.  Any news as to when this might be?

[steveoat]

So, when are they going live in the US?

The launch date feels like it was years ago.  Can you finally commit  to a date?

[steveoat]

I really find this delay to be baffling, especially since you are dealing with a product that has successfully launched in many countries.  I have seen prototypes developed quicker than this.

 

I feel Qobuz has really wasted an opportunity with these delays.

"See entire classical catalog" button needs to be fixed.  I expect it to show the entire classical catalog.  Instead, it takes me to a page describing new releases selected for me.

 

Also, I see that almost all downloads from Chandos and BIS are not available to purchase.  Is this going to change?

@iamoneagain With tens of thousands of new tracks being commercially released every week, what does it mean for a catalog to be complete? 🙂

 

Catalog is not a factor in the beta designation...there are some improvements to the apps that we want to make happen before we eliminate it.

 

Are there specific labels you are not seeing available for streaming right now? We are in the process of ingesting over 14 million more independent label tracks but it could take a few months to get them all live on the service.

I notice that most older releases do not have pdf booklets.  Any chance this can be improved
