I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

As much I despise Spotify, I'm trying out Qobuz and it's just not really it.

No folder organisation for playlists or albums.

No Linux application.

No lyrics.

No support for smart speakers.

No information linking to artist tours and merch.

No dedicated classical music app.

Generally lacking when it comes to non western artists.

Prides itself on providing high quality music, yet still only has lower quality masters for some artists compared to Apple Music, Tidal, and even Spotify.

I want to love it, like the way it loves and respects the music industry, with it's special magazine etc, but it's just not it.
