Made the switch to Qobuz over a year ago and I’m never going back to Spotify.
Everything about Qobuz is far superior.
Almost. Library has gaps, but it’s rapidly improving.
Has anyone seen an option or a mail adress to report music on qobuz? Just because I was interested and Spotify is notoriously bad at that, I looked up a few German far right bands up on Qobuz. Well, “Die Lunikoff-Verschwörung” is available for stream. The albums you can stream are not the banned ones, but why do they even have it in the first place? That is the most vile neo-Nazi music you could think of.
Edit.: someone reached out and the band has been delisted. I gave them a bit of feedback on how they could add an option for a report and that they should have their social medoa team reach out to feddit.
Also a lot of so called “gangsta rap”, and plenty of muslim nasheeds that should be removed as well then I’m guessing.
I am not saying this because I just dislike the music or their message.
This band was “Landser” a banned neo-nazi rock band that was dissolved as a criminal organization meant to incite violence. He himself served a couple of years for incitement of violence, holocaust denial and founding and being part of a criminal organisation. Landser had songs that called for the death of Turks, muslims, jews leftists, gay people - you get the gist.
During his sentence he “toned” down the aggression to comply with the law but still plays for neo-nazis mostly for the likes of formerly known neo-nazi party NPD (now Die Heimat). His Band’s albums are now at least indexed since they are barely within the scope of legality.
And my point is honestly more along the lines of quitting Spotify partly due their support of ICE and hosting far right media. If Qobuz does the same, then I will not be using their service any longer.
They don’t seem to have any. I had to use their chat it, buts it’s (ironically for this article) an AI infested pieced of hallucinating shit.
Eventually I got to a real person that sent my complaint (someone pretending to be another band) to their music team.
See my edit, someone also reached out to me.
Anyone has a good way of running it on Linux without using a browser or Chrome back-end?
You can use it with the Strawberry music player with some tinkering.
No I am always using my browser.
Write them a mail. I am also planning on doing so. Also I want their app to be available outside of google store. (Maybe even Linux phone?)
The reason I chose them is because they are an alternative. Might as well commit on it.
I’ll do so when I get a chance
There is an app on flathub.

No it doesn’t include a normal processing plugin which has been used on 90% of your favourite music

If it is a studio recording of music with vocals since 1980-90, I would put money on there being some correction on the vocals. If it is a studio recording of music with vocals since 2000, i would put money on there being some use of autotune or melodyne or a similar pitch correction software/hardware.

But autotune and melodyne can be… Tuned :) much like vfx in movies, it is at its best when you can’t tell it’s there
I wish this fucking Cher Song would have never happend. I hate autotune with a passion, especially when it’s at 100% and sounds like a drunk robot.

I wonder if there is a mix up in our minds between the use of auto-tune to “correct” a voice track and the voluntary use of extreme auto-tune options to create music out of an otherwise bland track (like daft-punk used to do…).
I’m not a musical artist so I don’t know exactly how far auto-tune goes or if you can classify all voice mods as auto-tuning.

Taste ist different for everyone, but: why have a singer if you fuck up his voice into something that is not recognisable as a human beeing anymore? Could just use a Keyboard with those effects.

I did not downvote but actually do “like autotune”. It is a way to play with the voice in a way the voice never would or should. Why not?!

Not a Qobuz user, but this was one big reason I left Tidal. Really took the joy out of the service.
