Should I switch to Qobuz or Tidal for music streaming? (lemmy.world)

Planning on ditching Spotify & I'm wondering what y'all thing of qobuz vs. tidal. Seems like neither have podcasts so I'll have to get a separate app for that. What are your thoughts?

Use the free trials with both and see what you prefer!

For podcasts, if you're on android, check out AntennaPod

edit: Adding some more information

  • The podcast format was designed to be decentralized and open. Most creators still do direct distribution, so you can follow your favourite podcasts without needing a centralized entity like Spotify to collect it for you
  • The exception is the platform exclusive paywalled stuff that Spotify produces themselves. Joe Rogan is one of those iirc, but I don't think that affects the majority of people here
  • If you listen on multiple devices and want to synchronize your listening history, see here: https://antennapod.org/documentation/general/synchronization

I had to check, I'm using Antenna Pod having moved from pocketcast due to its American ownership.

Fantastic app, I'm loving it and being open source is a massive win

Just downloaded it. It has all the ones I listen to! It just makes it that much easier now to ditch Spotify. Now to decide to go with Qobuz or Tidal.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

No problem :)

If you listen on multiple devices, you can also use gpodder (self-hostable if it's a concern) to sync your listens. I use Kasts on desktop, AntennaPod on mobile. Kasts is on mobile too, but the UI on mobile is... Infuriating at best
