I think about switching from Spotify for a longer time now, but with the recent ICE ads I want to be in solidarity with the people in the US and kick Spotify out.

Now I checked the Quboz app and I am in a test month with Tidal right now - so far Tidal is great on my mobile. However I also need a client for Linux!

I am using spotify-client on Linux Mint and works flawlessly. I know its development is not the main goal of Spotify engineers, but it just works.

Now for Tidal and Quboz it seems to be problematic - only Electron apps without HiFi sound because the chromium engine throttles the quality. How am I supposed to switch from Spotify if I can’t use the alternative on Linux? Any advices/experiences?

    Sounds interesting. If I understood correctly, it’s about 5 bucks a month for remote access and tidal/Quboz integration? Also I need to set it up on a server or raspberry pi? Could be a bit overkill for just a music player…

      Mines on a Pi2b with a DAC hat, access through web or android app. I suppse you could add it as a docker image.

      It may be overkill for your needs. I like it because I can browse my own music library or, online stream, plus it has a slew of internet radio stations included in the free version (you can custom add others)
