Qobuz · France
Also French, Qobuz takes a different path by focusing on sound quality rather than mass-market convenience. It specialises in high-resolution streaming, with a catalogue of more than 100 million tracks.
Qobuz also pays artists more per stream than Spotify, with various estimates indicating that musicians need fewer plays on Qobuz to generate the same level of income. For listeners who care about both sound quality and fairer compensation for creators, Qobuz remains one of the strongest European options.
