Spotify for classical music lovers


I listen to mostly Classical music.  I’m new to the world of streaming and find it amazing that almost any classical recording extant is available in near CD quality sound with just a touch on a tablet.  Spotify seems to have it all for only a $5 or $6 fee a month without interruptions.
Anyone who hasn’t discovered this avalability should look into it.
 It’s truly fantastic.

I also use a desktop stream recorder called Sound Tap and can say that listening to the recodings it makes I cannot hear any difference from the stream and the recording it makes.
I use Qobus to stream and find it has a large and varied Classical section. It only gives wav or mp3 streams though , so no DSD or MQA but 24 / 192 downloads from it are superb and quite up to par with the sound quality on my CD player.
I have given up Qobuz because on my computer it had numerous faults the most annoying was that when listening to say a symphony that had four or more movements it would jump from say the first to the third then go back to the second and then maybe to the fifth . It would also stop or no reason at all and if you left it where it was it could start again in 2 minutes or 10. No I couldn't put up with it and when you complained about it they only referred me to the members forum . No for the money they charged it just wasn't good enough, I still haven't made up my mind who I will go to.
