  Seen the recommendation plenty of times.

  Is it better than TIDAL? I’m interested in switching to either of those, perhaps.

    I only used Tidal a while back during a free trial, so can’t comment too much. I think Tidal might have more wide spread functuonality adoption than Qoboz - but they do seem to be pushing out updates to meet feature parity.

    Qoboz has been great to use though. I actually find I get a wider spectrum of recommendations than Spotify. Spotify seemed to type cast my current listening habits agressively, and it would take a while to break out of that loop each time.

  I use Musify on Android. (From the F-Droid store) It pulls the music off of YouTube and works pretty well. Save playlists,download individual songs, it has recommendations but u didn’t know how they work.

  I was looking to try Qobuz, but they didn’t like my email domain, so skipped it.

    I have a custom domain and they accepted it a couple months ago - maybe give it another shot if it was a while back?

  I recommend <your jellyfin instance>.

  Jokes aside, the only reason I use Spotify is for discovery and the vast catalog (primarily the JP music market).
  And I havent seen Qobuz be mentioned in any capacity by japanese artists.

    Ah this is an interesting point. I think Qoboz are active in expanding their libraries and they do take requests on site. Do you have any JP recommendations - its not a region I’ve ever really listened to?

      Tokyo Health Club - J-Rap but a bit more lo-fi
      -> One of my favs: youtu.be/GSRfeUHZZN8
      -> Honorable mention: youtu.be/ErLSUsqERm8

      • Crazy Beats (Touhou - Eurobeat Remixes)
        -> Just open any of their songs and listen ;)
      • Akatsuki Records (Tohou Remix - All kinds of genre)
        -> Same here
      • Hololive (A group of vTubers that also release music of all kinds of genre)
        -> youtu.be/twUFbqyul_M
        -> youtu.be/WGgEFoI9MhE
      • Ado (Also very diverse voice and genre selection. But usually more towards pop and pop-rock-like releases)
