Qobuz cracks down on AI-generated tracks, advocating for human music creation and curation - Divisions by zero

I tried Qobuz for a while purely because of their anti AI stance, but the player just didn’t work very well on Linux. I’m stuck using Spotify for now but hopefully somebody else puts some effort into a Linux player

Did you try qbz? github.com/vicrodh/qbz. It works quite well, except Qobuz Connect (ability to control other Qobuz players) doesn’t work, and seems like it will never work.

Also, the Qobuz Windows app works quite well with Wine, but requires some tinkering. appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version…

GitHub - vicrodh/qbz: A native, full-featured hi-fi Qobuz desktop player for Linux, with fast, bit-perfect audio playback.

I can’t remember exactly, it was months ago. I tried a couple things that straight up didn’t work for me (Debian Trixie). Ended up with Strawberry player and that worked but I just vastly preferred the functionality of Spotify. I’ll probably have another attempt next time I get AI tracks recommended to me
Qobuz with Strawberry is… not very good. I think qbz was released this year, so you probably didn’t try that. There’s a .deb file in GitHub for it, and it also comes in other forms, like Flatpak and AppImage.
What didn’t work well for you with the Qobuz player for Linux?
