Any thoughts? Lock in 3 years of Qobuz at today's rate

>> "But for those that ask if the price will rise. Well, of course it will, this is capitalism."

That's not always true -- sometimes innovation and competition lowers prices.  I bought my first computer in 1980 for $2,000 -- B&W screen, 2 floppy drives, no hard drive, and the memory was 128K, double what was standard at the time. I bought a new PC last week for $330. It has a 1 TB drive, 32 G of RAM and tons of other features that were non-existent in 1980. 

I like Qobuz a lot, mainly for how they present new releases on a weekly basis and let me find new artists in my preferred genres. Much better than any of the other services I've tried. So I've decided to stick with them on a yearly basis. If they go belly-up or prices go up too much, there are plenty of alternatives. And I already have my own large collection of music I love so the worst that can happen to me is that I go back to how I obtained music in the decades before streaming. 

I'm on the fence too. The offer suggests a need for a cash inflow. If they can't sustain things with the current subscriber base, the long term prospects seem shaky. I want to buy music access, not pay down corporate debt. 

I'll probably stick with yearly. Competition should keep prices reasonable.

All,

Thanks to everyone who posted their comments above regarding locking in a 3-year subscription to QoBuz.  

I understand there might be some risk that QoBuz goes out of business, or I might not be here in 3-years.  In any case, I believe their prices will increase shortly so I like locking in at today's rate.  I asked some of my audio friends and they also believe it is a good deal.  

I signed up for the QoBuz 3-year plan and they credited my account for the time remaining on my current 1-year subscription.   Thanks again for your comments.  

After some research, I've come to believe the offer is more of a customer retention strategy than a cash grab. I went ahead and did it. 

@mitch2 $500.00 for Room is not covering your subscription to a streaming service like Qobuz or Tidal.
