Title: Get your 30 day trial of Qobuz here!
Post by: jtwrace on 8 Oct 2018, 10:44 pm
That's right!  I have a code for a 30 trial that I'll give to one of you lucky AC members.  I'll post it at 8pm EST.  So be ready!  Only catch is that you will use it!

Got past that.  That day/month/year format is weird to enter.  But when I click register nothing seems to happen.

The coupon is only for ONE member.  If you tried it and it doesn't work, you didn't get to it first.

So it appears you are using it and are impressed? How deep is the catalog? From what little I have read it will be about half the depth of Tidal to start out until the licensing issues are worked out.

Yes, very impressed.  Catalog isn't what Tidal is but I think most of that is the licensing so the catalog is much bigger than what we see in the USA until that's all sorted.  Sonically it's amazing.  I've got some more testing to do though which I hope to do tonight.

Or am I misreading the whole thing. Intent can often be lost on these forums.

Awhile back, I signed up for a Qobuz email notification for when they launched. Never heard anything. Did a search yesterday and the only thing from the company in the first page of results was that same link. Not sure WTF is going on.

If as asserted earlier, the catalog 'isn't what Tidal is', Ill probably pass for now. I am aware of quite a bit of stuff not on Tidal, and their search functions don't always find what they do have (won't parse multiple or partial search terms, must be entered exactly).

Wish Apple would get into the lossless streaming market, as they carry the biggest catalog, but they have shown no interest. The subset of people who care about SQ is small. Most listeners are fine with 64kbps Pandora.

Just went through the process, it never asked for code , it just came up 30 day free trial, put in credit card info, downloaded the apple app to my IPad, IPod, and MacBook. It’s  up and running (streaming). Sounds pretty good.

The Qobuz rep told us these initial trials they offered would be hosted from the UK, then later convert to US.

Something to try, at this screen type in your email and click on the blue square. They say they will notify you when available.
Then in the top corner click on try for free. It should take you to the next screen put in your CC/ PayPal info and you should get 30 day trial. Good luck Ken

This is the screen shot I received , the blue box try it for free.

Then I guess either I missed a post somewhere or I don't get what your point is.

Summary:
Promo codes work. Ok.
One was given away here. Ok.
Someone says they were able to join Qobuz from the US by going to the create account page. Ok.
You offer a link to the same preview page and show you have a promo code. Ok.

Qobuz streaming access is blocked from me due to being in the US. It's not clear how that individual was able to bypass that.
I don't have a promo code or see where to get one.

If that's your takeaway you miss the point. The thread went several different directions. I tried to summarize in order to make that clear, and not just for me, but for anyone else who may be reading and confused. Yes, thank you. Great. But if you go over the thread you'll see that there's no context for me to just know what that photo meant. In other words, a typical audio thread.
