I didn’t check all missing songs (wsy to many), but the ones I did check were actually missing, and it wasn’t just an import or transfer error. I mostly checked those that were important to me and stood out in the import-list marked as missing when quickly scanning across them.
I have probably 100+ playlists. Not having folders is just not feasible. I wish use playlists in non-normal ways, more like notes in some cases, which is harder or impossible without folders. So for me it isn’t an option to use a service that doesn’t have them.
Kind of same story here, tried qobuz and dropped it almost immediately.
For me, it was the missing assistant integration, as I couldn’t get it to properly play music in the car by giving some basic voice commands… If I’m in control of a three ton death machine, I want my eyes on the road, not entering some obscure pop punk band’s name in full via the on-screen keyboard in the car’s media system. Also, I know that qobuz’ content is supposed to be curated instead of generated, but the amount of playlists compared to Spotify was really underwhelming. Add to that that the onboarding was terrible enough for my wife to give up before fully finishing the process and me cursing constantly while trying to set up my kids’ accounts, my kids being annoyed they couldn’t share music with their friends easily anymore and that it felt oddly hard to discover new music beyond their articles and just based on my preferences and the whole thing just didn’t work as I wanted it to.
Yes discoverability for new music is also critical for me, but I never even got that far to give it a shot. The majority of the time in listening to music is to discover new-to-me artists/songs. I had heard mixed reviews on that, some incredibly happy with it some saying it’s just horrible, but the other issues are already showstoppers…
I recently tried to switch from Spotify to Qobuz, had to give up basically immediately. Two reasons:
Surprisingly, 1) was a bigger deal breaker than 2). I need to find the time to check the other alternatives.
I recently made that switch and while the website to transfer playlists gave me errors and missing songs, they were actually in Qobuz nevertheless.
For 1 I can’t say as I don’t use folders.
