Qobuz,

They are French,

You have all Deezer and Spotify perks,

They pay artists,

Music is often in High Resolution, they have partnerships with Hi-Fi audio brands,

You can reach them if your favorite artist or album is missing.

Just checked out Qobuz and you can even buy the music digitally to download (like bandcamp with the advantage that they are EU-based and seems like more artists are on Qobuz), think I'm going to switch

Qobuz seems amazing. You need a subscription i think but they seem way more ethnic than their counterparts.

You can buy single tracks/albums and download them without a subscription, the subscription is more a Spotify-like thing were you can listen to all songs but can't download them without DRM
