Qobuz vs. Tidal


Greetings to all,

I'm sure this has been asked before. Which do you prefer and why? Qobuz customer service is worse than terrible. Is Tidal CS any better? 

What about selection? 

Thank you!

... With the level of tech today you wouldn’t think it’d be too hard to have someone fairly easily implement a decent search function ...

That's a function of the software you're using to stream Qobuz, e.g. Conductor if you're using an Aurender, or perhaps Volumio if you're using a Raspberry Pi.

I guess I have to be more careful when deleting. Perhaps I will use the Qobuz app on my phone. 

Many thanks as well to the individual who was kind enough to share his playlists!

OP,

So the issue is with the Conductor app. Are you using version 3 or 4?

Aurender introduced the new Conductor 4 app a few months ago. There have been some problems for some folks, it was a major upgrade. I have introduced new software to large groups most of my life. There are always problems, some organizations are better at it than others. It seems to have created some problems. They are working on them. You can just go back to version 3 and stay there for six months or so as Aurender irons out the bugs.

I have been fortunate not to experience any significant issues.

I currently have both Tidal and Qobuz but I do prefer Tidal over Qobuz. For me, Tidal just seems to be more user friendly and also provides the user with more music selection options than Qobuz. There’s no noticeable difference in SQ between the two.  So, if I had to keep just one, it would definitely be Tidal.
