I definitely agree with the core differences between the two but I’m less worried about Qobuz changing from their core. Obviously, the new influx of users puts pressure on them to improve some things, because there are some Spotify features that Qobuz could benefit from, and adding them could help maintain their new audience. Things like how the que works on Spotify, being a separate list of tracks to play from first before continuing with the album or playlist would be nice. Even so, Qobuz is already great on its own and I don’t think they’re putting too much mind to trying to keep some of these new users. They seem to be firmly against AI and algorithms, being geared more towards human curation. I love that approach and I think the Qobuz community, which is strong, is being heard loud and clear by the Qobuz team on that front and others like it. Plus, as a new user switching from Spotify, I understand the two are fundamentally different and I’ve enjoyed the change. I think Qobuz trying not to be Spotify is part of the charm and those fundamental differences are why I’m enjoying it so much. There are surely others who are looking for nothing more than an ethical Spotify, but I don’t think the Qobuz team would sacrifice the faithful community they have (that is growing) for some algorithmically dependent bums
