As I'm stil trying switching away from Spotify, I'm trying out since today Tidal.
When i choose in Google maps setting for "default media playback controls" I can only select Youtube music and Spotify. But there is no Tidal and no qobuz to select.
Any workaround for this?
I'm not driving many times with a car, but when I do, I like to have it.
Sowas ist einfach sehr nervig, wenn man mal 150 Songs runterladen will… #Qobuz #streaming
I’m really enjoying the music of Men I Trust, a self-published Canadian indie band. Their genre is sort of dreamlike jazz synth, anchored by a syncopating LPF-modulated bass, filled with heavily-flanged synth pads, relying on a tick-tock of drums playing like an 80s portable Casio keyboard, and topped off by breathy, almost whispering vocals.
I find their music oddly melancholic but also unhurried and soothing, and it works super well when heard through high quality headphones.
One thing I like about #Qobuz is that I’m starting to listen to entire albums again, not disembodied songs. It can be quite meditative, almost a spiritual return to a guided musical experience. I remember when all music was delivered like this.
I made a Styx retrospective for my good buddy, @HailsandAles

I've been really impressed with Qobuz as a music streaming service.
Their recommendations are very, very different, and they promote a set list of albums of the week of some new and music I would never have found otherwise.
Also, they just launched their music commissions transparency here. They pay the most per stream compared to their competitors: https://community.qobuz.com/press-en/qobuz-unveils-its-average-payout-per-stream
If you're thinking about switching from Spotify, but aren't ready to go full media ownership, I think it's a good next step.
Hey peeps, since many of us are here as an alternative to big corporations, if you also care about the people who make #music, reminder that spotify barely (doesnt) pay small musicians, but you have alternatives like qobuz.com which are transparent and pay per-stream.
Some small data: in the last year #distrokid collected 4.03€ from my album #streaming
#Spotify - 0.00€
#Youtube - 0.26€
#AppleMusic - 0.34€
#Qobuz - 3.09€
+some little money from other #streamingplatforms
Just thought of sharing
I agree for his #piano works (Litany)

and I'm just listenig to the complete works for piano by Lukas Huisman on Piano Classics Label (available on #qobuz)
I've got a network speaker (a Denon Home 150) that speaks "AirPlay Remote", "AirTunes Remote", "Tidal Connect", "Spotify Connect", "HEOS Audio", and "Qobuz Connect" according to Avahi.
How can I play music on this from Linux?
My music player (Strawberry) doesn't list it or any of those protocols, and I can't set it as an audio device (which is probably a good thing).

@alexlunaview Danke für den Tipp mit #Qobuz als #AppleMusicErsatz - den Dienst kannte ich noch nicht und da er meine „Nischen“-Titel hat UND in Europa beheimatet ist: 
Monday evening finds the Dismal Duo listening to Joe Henderson’s “Multiple “ recording of saxophone quartet postbop jazz. #postbop #saxophone #quartet #jazz
Hey, there’s no bass player! But 2 guitars.
Looked more into this. Tried #qobuz and that explicitly complained about me using a vpn when I tried to sign up. So maybe there is a licensing issue (although I’ve never seen #spotify or #applemusic complain when using a vpn)
Signed up for a free trial on Qobuz last week, to see if it’s a good replacement for Spotify. Here are my impressions so far.
General stuff:
* Signup was fast and easy. They didn’t ask for a lot of info to sign up (good!), but they required a birthday (bad!).
* The web interface and iOS app are both fine. Not incredible UX, but functional.
* It’s quite bare bones, feature wise. That suits me well, but some people might miss an equalizer.

@ariadne An alternative option may be to take up a different streaming service that also lets you buy DRM-free music, such as #Qobuz.
You can use Soundiiz to import your Apple or Spotify playlists and use the purchase button on anything you are listening to. You do need to buy Qobuz coins up front, but that makes buying as you go quick and easy.
Gave #Qobuz a chance to woo me with its recommendations & gotta say, while it didn't exactly blow my mind like LastFM or Rdio, it's far & away better than Tidal, Spotify et al, which give me the feeling that they're trying to push whatever stuff they make the most money on, whether tenuously connected to my taste or not.
Maybe it will get better as it eavesdrops on my habits & anway recommendations isn't a killer feature for me, but it does reinforce my decision to switch
