Wildly disrespectful to any artist that ever lived. I’m all up for sharing alternatives that are good/better towards actual artists. Still evaluating my choices, but meanwhile this seems like the only and rather easy signal the streaming community can give as to spread the word if they agree (next to stopping your own subscription).

Is there a way to see their library without signing up? Ive ditched spotify already but the problem i have is half the artists i like seem to only be on yt and spotify
Even better than show the library, you can buy without subscription
You can view a large chunk of their library via their download shop e.g.: https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/shop
I do think they have some things that are streaming-only, and those might not show up in the download shop.
I can warn you that they don’t have all the artists / songs I used to be able to get on YT / Tidal, but they have enough to keep me happy.
If you can’t figure it out any other way, DM me a list of Arists / Titles / Tracks to look for and I’ll search from my account for you.
That’s interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever had this problem. Mine seen to be everywhere. What kind of stuff do you like? I’m into lots of indie rock and I always figured if any artists would be missing it’d be my obscure little indie bands
Mostly rock and pop stuff, a little bit of rap. Ill admit i havent looked recently, it was a couple years ago at this point. But Tidal and uhhh idk some other one i cant remember the name of didnt have a bunch of stuff I like, like deathbyromy, bodyimage, demondice, TRiDENT, and some others(probably not an exactly perfect list of what they were missing at the time bc like i said years ago, but ya).
But im pleased now that i got around to checking out a bunch of artists qobuz seems to have everything. And as others have attested to, the quality is good.
