Need help with Qobuz
« on: 6 Apr 2020, 06:23 am »
I can find and select a song.  I can put it in the "Now playing" list.  But I can't get it to play.  Pushing the Play button does nothing.  If I highlight the song, the album cover art briefly appears and then disappears, and the song doesn't play.  How can I make it play?  This is Manic Moose 2.42.

Answer to my own question.  I had to go into settings and set the streaming quality for Qobuz.  It plays now.

In media player settings there is a Qobuz section, can you check the sound quality setting?

Yes, and I did that, and it's working correctly. 

Two things are disappointing about Qobuz: (1) There isn't as much genuine hi-res as I expected (i.e. beyond redbook CD); and (2) Although there is classical, the selection is much more limited than Idagio.  Comment about point (1): I recognize that anything better than redbook is probably inaudible.  I like seeing the bigger numbers display on my DAC and in MM.  Comment about point (2): Since I already have Idagio for classical, I got Qobuz for access to pop and jazz that I can't get at Idagio.  But I did hope to see some recent classical issues on Qobuz that aren't there.

Also, it'd be nice if my BDP-pi and Manic Moose included Idagio.  Playing Qobuz is so much easier than running Idagio, which involves changing an input on my DAC (not a Bryston DAC) and fiddling with streaming settings in my Android cell phone.

I guess I'm acknowledging that I'm happy to have MM 2.42 up and working on my BDP-pi.  Thank you for your help with that.
