I like Qobuz too, but have a couple issues with it:

* The prices are a lot higher there than anywhere else

* They don't remember my payment information. I would opt-in to this if it's a legal concern. It's so annoying every single time having to enter it in all over again. I'd do PayPal but they charge a fee these days.

* Their tar'd up download format sucks, and requires me doing a lot of re-naming and re-foldering things to get it to a sane format.

* They started removing some of the things I PAID FOR from my account. Not cool. It's fine if you have to remove it from sale but removing it from my account should not be legal.

* Many popular tracks from otherwise not-so-popular albums are locked so you can't buy just that song, you need to buy the whole album

* If you've bought a few songs from an album, you don't get an appropriate discount if you later decide to buy the whole album - which some digital stores are good about.



I never trust online platforms to keep my library. I download stuff and back it up.
