  Hang on, as somebody who knows enough to be looking into switching to graphene, but not entirely enough to know what AOSP is, what exactly is happening?

  Am I going to fuck myself over? If I do end up switching to a custom rom? Should I just wait on the Linux community to build something better?

  All I want is a working device that isn’t selling all my shit to Mark Zuckerberg

  I have noticed that the search function is very unforgiving. Like, you have to search the exact title, because it will not find a partial name.

  That sucks that a lot of songs didn’t come up. I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised with the content. Personally. A lot of my stuff that I thought was pretty niche I’ve been able to find.

  Are you noticing any specific genres are more difficult than others?

  This reads like “old man yells at clouds”

  Like on one hand, sure, tiktok has accelerated the amount of info/media kids are latching onto. But also, remember street sharks? Remember pogs? Or floam? Like… shits always been like this.

  I use Qobuz! It works well most the time. And it has a huge library. Some things are not as polished as some of the bigger companies. And there’s a lot of Initial setup to get it working…

  That said, I would say it’s a great option. I do wish it had better continuous play options, as sometimes I listen to a playlist, and then it just stops. But that may be part of the learning curve. I’m not really a big “playlists” guy… I’d like to start a radio and have it find similar artists (similar to Pandora 12 years ago) But that doesn’t really seem to be the way companies are going anymore.

  I have several Google mini devices (I know, I know. I’m working on it, but that’s a whole other process) and they don’t really seem to get along with qobuz all the time.

  Overall, I like it, but it still needs work.

  No shit it’s more expensive. The point isn’t to save money, it’s to save the planet.
