Hi folks, aside from Tidal, does anybody have a hi-res streaming service they can recommend? I'm mostly interested in input from users of Qobuz.

Tidal just didn't have an awful lot of what I want -- looks like the entire ECM catalog is not there -- and the user-interface leaves a lot to be desired as far as VoiceOver.

Thanks,

Jim

From the Qobuz website it appears that Qobuz is not available in the USA.

It's a pity since Qobuz appears to be very good for classical music at hi resolution.

Hi Ray,

I looked extensively at the site yesterday but never saw that notice. Guess I have to look again.

I was able to find *all* the stuff I was looking for that Simply doesn't exist on Tidal.

Well, guess I'll have to do some more reading today :-).

Thanks,

Jim

Hey Aaron,

Tidal is pretty good (Linda uses it all the time) but the user interface using VoiceOver leaves a whole lot to be desired and is really tedious to use with speech. Also, a lot of the music I want to listen to is simply not there and probably won't be until some labels like ECM stop being so difficult.
