  • I’ve been testing out Qobuz recently since I’m in a similar ditching-Spotify place in my life. Honestly I think it’s a great alternative. Sound quality is great and it has the multi device sync/status like Spotify.

    I don’t know what that feature is actually called but the feature where you can have a song playing in the app on your phone, open the app on a different device like your tablet, and it will show the “now playing” in the minimized player along with the name of your phone that it’s playing (and you can swap it to play immediately on the tablet now instead). That feature in Spotify was a big one for me. Love that Qobuz has it.

    I’m still building my listening history so I can’t comment on how good the recommendations will be. But the suggestions I’ve gotten in the last few weeks were spot on.

    Not sure what people are talking about with the app ui. It’s a good app. Maybe it was bad in the past and they have made improvements? But coming from Spotify I think you’d have no issues using it.

    Give the free trial a shot.










  • I made the switch to Kagi January last year.

    I know it’s all just personal experience and everyone can have their own needs, but I was skeptical at first as well.

    Almost a year and a half later I’ve got no complaints.

    My searches feel like how Google felt years ago: mainly I never think about it. I search, find what I want and I’m off. It just works as I’d expect without the nonsense ads and AI Google has now.

    Worth a free trial. See how it works for you.
