Qobuz - latest retrograde 'upgrade' - June 2024

[Nick Armstrong]

Nick, you are a star! The version on the App Store is still version 7.10.1 and have downloaded it to my iPhone. I am a very Happy Bunny.

Make sure you go to Settings > App Store and disable auto-updates ASAP.

…I’m delighted to have helped!

I use Apple. Its catalog is broad and the search engine is better than most streaming services. I have to use AirPlay if I want to send it through my main system, which sounds fine but is an extra step

Richard...do you have any suggestions as to how to actually find anything ? All I can see are 'Essentials' ...no concept ot finding stuff by composer or conductor etc.

TIA

Suggestions
1) Use the Apple Classical app which has an Ampersand . The regular Apple Music app has a sixteenth note on its cover. The search engine is a tick better for the Classical app
2) use the search. For example I typed in Simon Rattle Brahms and the symphony cycle popped right up along with half a dozen other discs. You can be less specific, such as typing in Rattle, but then you will have to wade through a lot more choices
3) if you want to find the album again add it to your album list from the menu choices , or create a playlist from the same list of menu options . The menu is accessed from the dots in the upper right

There is also a ‘browse’ tab on the toolbar. I don’t use it but it does give a composer list, albeit non alphabetical

Many thanks, Richard and apologies for the tardy reply!

An update.

By accident I found that they've taken onboard my (and presumably other folks) request to be able to filter by Favourites. Previously, it was not possible to separate Favourites from Purchased.

Clicking on Favourites and looking at the list, I inwardly groaned as it had the lot all mixed up - tracks, releases etc. But I discovered that you can drill down thus

Favourites > Releases (aka Albums) or

Favourites > Tracks

You can then drill down further by selecting genre thus

Favourites > Releases > Classical

So I am very happpy.
