When Neil Young asked us to switch to Tidal, I went along and loved that it paid the artists 10x more per stream.

But Tidal is American owned, spotify isn't...

I'm struggling on this one, a lot of the lil punk bands I love could really use the revenue but, y'know, trade war etc.

Anyone have any thoughts to assuage a guilty conscience on this one?

Qobuz. It's French and it pays more than Tidal. It's a privately owned company. You can also actually buy music from it in addition to streaming. Fuck Tidal.

If you buy music from there, does it include DRM that prevents you from playing it without their online service?

Very nice! Thanks!

Does that just require a subscription?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I haven't used Qobuz in the past so take that with a grain of salt but I believe the downloader works with the streaming subscription. You can purchase album properly in FLAC, and even some in DSD and DXD.

Oh super cool, I will definitely check it out! Thanks!

Heya! Just wanted to say thanks. I tried Qobuz but had a couple of issues. Just tried Deezer and it's been fantastic, works with everything and my tiny little obscure bands are all there! It's like catching up with old friends I haven't seen in far too long.

Thanks again!

Another option, I love it! Thanks!

And it also has a reputation for paying artists better than other platforms (at least better than Spotify, amazon and the like).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

That's great to hear!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I just switched to Deezer! It is pretty good so far, and they seem to have even relatively obscure Canadian music. Good francophone content, if you're into that sort of thing.

Ive heard qobuz limits downloads so you end up not being able to actually own every song you paid for

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Haven't seen that yet but I also haven't bought that many. Several albums so far. Would be pretty odd but I haven't looked into it so I can't reject it.
