Those "directions" about the album ID above are confusing as hell, I agree with the others here.

 

If we're linking to albums, here is one:  

 

ID:  0886443712072

 

LInk: https://play.qobuz.com/album/0886443712072

 

Her name is not James, I guarantee it. It is Morgan James.  Not James Morgan. All of her albums are like this.

 

Yes. Her name is definitely Morgan James. I hope that gets fixed as she is a brilliant singer.

 

Check her out on YouTube. She is remarkable to watch. She puts 150% into her art.

Is that a Nina Simone tribute album?

 Not sure which one you are referring to but she mostly does covers of other artists.

Hi-

Anyone else have issues with Qobuz streaming today? I rarely have a problem, but today I'm getting frequent dropouts and even outright loss of connection. 

My internet speed seems to be okay, and I'm not having any other issues except for with Qobuz.

 

Where are you located? I am in Washington DC. I have had odd Qobuz behavior for the past two days. The music stops and then skip to the next track. I am running QB via Roon. Later today I will try Roon again and also the QB standalone app. I will also try playing local files from my Roon server. AFAIK my Internet has been solid. I did a speed test when I got the drop outs and it was normal.

 

Perhaps QB servers are getting hammered due to so many folks staying home?

I got an email that said Qobuz was now available via a Samsung TV app but I could not find the app in the App Store for my 1 year old TV.

 

Thoughts?

Did you search "Qobuz" in the app store? The placement is inconsistent from what we've seen so far. 

 Thanks. I tried several times and even updated the TV firmware. It still did not show.

Please consider working with Roon to allow "Album View" for playlists. The Qobuz standalone app allows this but that useful function is removed inside Roon. Alternatively, ask them to create a new area under "My Library" for "Album Playlists". It would be great to create an easy way to round up all of ones favorite albums by a group or artist or orchestra or label to get them quickly in one place after weeding out the ones that do not appeal. I realize that one can always do a search but this would be much quicker and user friendly.

 

Thanks!

 I realize that this thread is for Qobuz issues, problems and complaints but I just want to say that Qobuz is one of the best things that I have encountered since I hurled myself into the audiophile rabbit hole in the early 80's.

 

I have not purchased music in a couple of years and now at least half of my listening is something new that I discovered on Qobuz. I have to scroll back several pages in Roon to find something in my library that was not added via Qobuz.

 

I realize that there are other choices out there but Qobuz has greatly increased the enjoyment of my musical pursuit.

 

Thanks to Qobuz and thanks also to AS where I learned about it!

Hi,

 

In fact, no HiFi brand currently offers Qobuz Connect, although it is now under development. If you have any questions about this project, I'm the person in charge, even Dan Mackta doesn't know everything as well as I do :D

So to give you a quick update, we're making good progress on the project, and this month we'll be finalizing the minimum necessary for HiFi brands to start integrating the Alpha/Beta version.

 

Regards

 

I thought that a Bluesound Node will support Qobuz natively allowing the phone app to just control it. Not sure if this is different from the term "Qobuz Connect" that is being used. 

 

David can you clarify? I am considering a Bluesound Node based upon this understanding. I use Roon/Qobuz on my at home system but want to use Qobuz on a media system at another location without sending it from my phone via Bluetooth.

For now the BluOS app will send Qobuz music right from Qobuz or Tidal or Amazon right to Bluesound hardware. Your phone is only a remote control. 

Thanks! As long as the files are going from the Qobuz server directly to my DAC I can live with an unperfected interface. Looking forward to Qobuz Connect however.
