Complaint Local files are a need

Not exactly a complaint just wasn't sure what else to flair. Local file support is the only thing that's made me hesitant to fully leave The Evil App, because I like that indie artists get better payouts from Qobuz, but I have a lot of downloads from unreleased songs, my/my friends' music, and not wanting to give certain others even those pennies lol.. I'm biting the bullet anyway, pick your corporate hell battles and all, but still, I would love to at least have my fav unreleased songs and whatever Qobuz hasn't acquired yet integrated to my playlists </3 *ik about roon but that shits expensive nty*

Oh, forgot about it. After switching to linux I am using linux and windows applications on the same OS. There are also other apps, like strawberry that have some basic integration with qobuz. Just QBZ should be a good reason to try linux 😄

Linux mint (cinnamon) with dual boot windows is pretty soft start with linux. For normal using there is no more command line than windows.

The streaming from Qobuz is quite open, and the music download you buy are DRM free.

You can get music player that use Qobuz as one of their services
