I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers…

    I just switched from Tidal to Qobuz and when using Soundiiz like 1/4 of my songs didn’t transfer, and when I look songs up a lot of them aren’t there at all. The personalized playlist is also disappointing in my experience, so I’m considering switching back.

      I have noticed that the search function is very unforgiving. Like, you have to search the exact title, because it will not find a partial name.

      That sucks that a lot of songs didn’t come up. I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised with the content. Personally. A lot of my stuff that I thought was pretty niche I’ve been able to find.

      Are you noticing any specific genres are more difficult than others?

        The ones I’ve noticed so far were somewhere in between metal, hyperpop, and generally chaotic electronic music. Specifically:

        • DEATHWISH by poutyface

        • MONSTER ENERGY GUN! by KevinKempt

        • PIN CUSHION by Siiickbrain

        Also:

        • Little Game by Benny

        • mi tawa lon pimeja ni

        There’s a bunch of others that I haven’t looked through yet. I downloaded a list of songs from my Tidal library with soundiiz so I should do the same with Qobuz then do a diff.
