More Qobuz Stuff

[icehockeyboy]

I appreciate that Qobuz is a French company, but I'm finding the comparative lack of English artists to the amount of 'foreign' acts frustrating.
They are almost all acts/artists I have never heard of.

Is it just me?

Can you give some examples of missing English artists?

I got the impression some music is uploaded by the artists themselves if they are little known, like Bandcamp etc. Perhaps it's not as popular to do it over here but just see it as a bonus if it's that.

If you're taking about reasonably well known signed bands then that's different.

Morning Lawrence!
It's mainly in the new release section, I'm not saying UK acts aren't included, just that a ratio of something like 100-1 are acts totally unknown to me. Tim Bernades, Adam Naas, Horse Girl, Kokoroko....who???

clicking tim bernades you find as a similar, fleet foxes, which takes you to midlake, mumford etc... sometimes you have to follow it around. i dont get those ones you get on discover new releases, but youve maybe got a genre selected

Hi Grant, I've got all genres selected, apart from kids.

Kind of sucks for discovery if you’re not into the same kind of stuff as them. It’s not that they don’t have the content, they just can’t customise per user.

I use Spotify just for discovery / curation. Make playlists and transfer them into Qobuz.

Even playlist view in Qobuz is annoying.

If you could use Spotify as a front end for Qobuz I’d pay for that.

Kokoroko are British, and very talented too!

I've just checked, I'm a Roon user and made a search in Qobuz and Tidal at the same time and could find Kokoroko and Paris born Adam Naas. It occurs from time to time for some unknown reasons: some musicians/records/tunes can be found with using Qobuz through Roon and the opposite is sometimes true as well. Mysteries, mysteries...
