Qobuz: Music & Editorial

Music streaming with a reading habit

Qobuz: Music & Editorial combines music streaming with articles about the artists, albums, and wider world of music. It suits listeners who want more than a queue of tracks, especially those interested in album context, interviews, reviews, and music discovery guided by editors rather than only automated recommendations.

Built for detailed listening

The app focuses on CD-quality and high-resolution audio, including FLAC playback at up to 24-bit/192 kHz where available. That makes it a natural fit for users with good headphones, speakers, or other hi-fi equipment. Alongside streaming, Qobuz also includes a store for buying permanent digital releases, giving collectors an option beyond subscription listening.

Editorial discovery alongside playlists

Qobuz treats its editorial material as part of the main experience. You can move from an album to related reading, explore artist features, or use human-curated playlists to find music by style, period, and theme. This approach is useful when you know you want to hear something but do not have a particular artist or track in mind.

What the numbers suggest

With a 4.54 rating from 68,293 reviews and more than 1,000,000 installs, the app has an established audience in Music & Audio. It is developed by Qobuz and is best matched with listeners who value sound quality, album ownership, and informed recommendations over a purely casual streaming service.
