What about the royalty and the copy fees for off-line files?

Or are those fees included in your monthly subscription?

Qobuz update

As far as I can tell... I only spent a short time with it last night.  I'm going to play a little more at work today.  What I can say about last nights listen, the quality was really good. 

I think the downloads are limited to the French site, not sure yet... but the streaming is working fine from a UK/English site.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Still talking about Qobuz

Confirmed... offline fees are included in the monthly subscription. 

So far...

- I don't like the interface as much as Spotify, but it's useable.
- The catalog is not as extensive as Spotify, but it's big, and growing.
- SQ when streaming hi-res is noticeable better.

Still need to mess around with using the app on my phone.

Honestly I'm not surprised at issues like this... Streaming services are growing fast and the libraries are huge.  Unless there is a blatant attempt to duff off low-res stuff as high I'm not going to condemn anyone.  Sure, I'd like to see the situation better, but I can have realistic expectations if it means the streaming quality is starting to improve in the industry.

Besides, if it's not DSD...  )(

Indeed. As far as streaming goes it's good to see more services and I don't mean Dr. Dre. I was just putting it out there for people, who like myself, will then get drawn into the 'dealers' other wares.
