I wanted to give a try. Signed up for premium membership, and 3 times in the first 2 weeks, I’m asked to log back into the app, and it tells me I’m using an incorrect password. I use a password manager! Cancelled my subscription. Guess I’m sticking with (on btw).

Looked more into this. Tried and that explicitly complained about me using a vpn when I tried to sign up. So maybe there is a licensing issue (although I’ve never seen or complain when using a vpn)

@shadowplay_2112 I think it is because Spotify and Apple are global and Qobuz is currently limited to 26 countries: help.qobuz.com/en/articles/101

Presumably they would be in hot water with labels if they allowed customers from a country they're not licensed for.
