I have unlimited data so I stream music through my iPhone both at home to an Airport Express and mostly while in the car through Car Play (mostly because I prefer Waze for navigation and can only use it through Car Play). I believe Tidal also allows me to download and save to my iPhone, but I've never needed to use that since I have unlimited data streaming via cell phone. I understand, actually we have only implement Car Play to local music, next step is to use streaming music. Qobuz Product Manager for Desktop, Web Player and Search Engine. Link to comment

mourip Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Question... When I open my personal Playlists in the QB desktop app it shows just album icons, no track list ...unless I click on an album. When I go to my QB personal playlists in Roon it just shows a very, very long list of all of the tracks from all of the albums in that playlist. I can click on the album name to see just the information from just that one album but this way of doing things seems very bulky. I looked for a "view" setting but did not find one. Does anyone know how to initially see just the album icons in for one's QB playlists in Roon or is this just the way it is? I am still accessing my account through Great Britain, not the US beta.

But Qobuz still sent me to the French site, even when I logged in under my USA account. So I deleted the USA account, went back to the Beta signup and re-signed up with the same email address, but with a different user name. Finally, that worked, and I got in as a USA user. Streaming to Roon is now working.

firedog Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Okay, so I've now found that Qobuz has populated my Qobuz "favorites" with some albums on it's own - there are things there that it is not possible I ever put them in my account. How do I prevent this? I haven't found a setting that would explain that behavior.

Hollypoint Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 As I continue to experiment with the beta Q, I bought a CD via the Q store. No problem at all: showed up in the IOS app on my I Phone, I down-loaded it, it plays fine. But I now wonder how I access it outside of the app? Normally I buy music on my pc and use JRiver, but can’t figure how to move this file, can’t even find it outside of the Q app. Probably an IOS issue and not Q’s but thought I’d ask.

After being at the same medical facility for 15 years, January 2019, they officially asked what gender I identify as. Since Prescription medicine and dosages are often gender specific, I asked “What are my choices?” I, too wanted to ask about the genre/gender thing but feared the wrath of Twitter.

When I tried out Roon several years back it automatically populated my Tidal favorites based on my regular library and the existing Tidal favorites. It was a pain to delete some of them especially since the Room favorites were dups or included a version of an album that I didn't want (ie, the non-remastered or non-deluxe version). Link to comment
thyname Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 OK --- so I transferred my Tidal favorites to Qobus. A total of 32 albums that I had on Tidal did not have a Qobuz equivalent. Too many to ignore. KenG 1 Link to comment
KenG Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Has anyone on the Beta noticed some major deficiencies in the Qobuz catalog especially when it comes to some Indie or underground rock/pop. Seems like they may not have signed deals yet with major American Indie labels like Matador, Merge and Kill Rock Stars since I can't find any of the label's music by some of their bigger names (ie, Pavement, Elliott Smith, Neutral Milk Hotel, Spoon etc). All of these are on Tidal and Spotify. Just wondering if anyone knows (ie, Dave Craft Qobuz guy I've seen posting) if Qobuz will have some of these labels by the time the Beta (or my new 30 day trial) is up since it could impact my decision to switch over.

bobbmd Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 @firedog Hello The EXACT same thing happened to me( ie A+3 played Qobuz as did my iPadPro,but on my Mac Mini my playlists were there but TIDAL didn't work at all and all I got were snipits MP3 325 30 sec of music on Qobuz in ROON)). A number of other people had same problem if you go to the ROON support page-I got an immediate answer from ROON@noris@danny2 they suggested keeping ROON open and they would do diagnostics-then my Mac mini became very slow with continuous flywheel I rebooted and everything worked and when I thanked them they said ROON had nothing to do with it!! They thought perhaps Qobuz USA got overwhelmed with new BETA subscriptions. In any event ALL my TIDAL and Qobuz playlists I transferred to Soundiiz transferred to Qobuz USA(although not 100% of the TIDAL songs/albums in each playlist- but what the heck). The interesting thing is that the MQA music( and some non MQA) from TIDAL plays at HiRes 24/96 or 24/192 in Qobuz(I have a STUDIO account)- I think the SQ is better than the desktop app and A+3. I wander also if my TIDAL playlists in TIDAL will remain if I ditch TIDAL?? And BTW the support person Eric at support Qobuz USA when he installed my BETA account changed my username from bobbmd to my full name and assigned me a new password all that was different from my French account which worked perfectly on day#1 of the ROON integration. I see your similar problem got resolved correct? Also support was fantastic from both Eric and the head of marketing/media at Qobuz USA @dmackta and David Craff-my hat is off to them all and whole Qobuz team bobbmd Link to comment
