I tried Qobuz almost a year ago because I was ditching Spotify and wanted to stay with a European service, but it had awful recommendations. There was no algorithm involved, it would recommend completely random tracks that had nothing to do with my music. It made finding new music extremely difficult. Too bad because I liked everything else about Qobuz.

I use Tidal now and love it. The recommendations are different from Spotify’s but just as good. No podcasts is actually a plus IMO and I haven’t noticed the AI slop that’s all over Spotify (although I’m sure there’s still some of it).
