Qobuz HD download service open now for the UK

Simon

Where do you get the gift code from?

Dave

Hi Dave

Code given in an email I received from them this morning. Looks like it is registered user specific as it is not a nice code.

Thanks. I've just registered.

Looks like Qobuz UK has crashed,  I am in te middle of a download (with the 50% code)  & its disconnected & I cant get back on.  

Oh well,  I've got all day (minus F1 Qualifying)

That's strange, I am in the UK and have downloaded HD from them before, not least the 10 CD complete Doors Studio re-masters back in March. My e-mail from them this morning gives me a discount code so, good news all round! 

Prices look OK as well, reasonable rate of exchange from the French site. Not all the promos at present though.

The 50% offer is very tempting.

Got the same email this morning. Only minor grumble is the search is a little convoluted to navigate to where you want to. Also a hell of a lot of 44.1/16 downloads, mostly looking for the 24bit stuff personally.

Now waiting for HD Tracks to get their UK site ready.

I see that the 50% off code has a maximum value of £240 .

Does that mean you can do multiple downloads at 50% off?

On the home page if you select a genre you will get a drop-down and can select Qobuz Studio Masters which are all 24-bits recordings.

you can also enter a search and in the results there is a button top-left called sort&filter where you can select sample rates if multiple are available in your search result.

Same for Germany, got the same e-mail 

Bah - I've been registered for months and get the usual emails but don't have one with the 50% offer as far as I can see.

What's the email heading?

Thanks

The discount has also made it's way to Switzerland 

Yes the 50 percent discount will be well used by me. Great deal.

"Qobuz: The Qobuz HD download service is now open!"

Thanks.....hmmm.

I assume it does from the way its worded. That's a good deal and will keep me happy next week when I have some time to have a look in more detail.

The download machinery is a bit clunky,  not a patch on HDT

The www crashed this morning in the middle of a download & it resulted in one track was marked "error" & I could not find anyway to get this completed.  On HDT its easy.  

In the end I download a zip of the whole album & extracting (means you need to edit (rename) the title) 

Bad news folks. You can only use the code once. I guess if you have more than one email address you could re register. Qobuz thinks I'm French so to access the discount I had to register as my wife, code worked though.

I don't se the point of downloading CD quality for £13 and the CD is £10 on Amazon (Call Me The Breeze).

Almost £18 for the 92/24 are they really that much more to source? Sounds like a rip off.

All puns intended. 

Regular price for high res appears to be £12, only specials are sometimes higher.

CD is £8-£9.50

Thanks Aleg, system was down when I went back. I'll check again later. Those sound like better prices.

Indeed the code didn't work with me on my normal account - so I guess I will need to register again as somebody else....

Does the discount code only apply if you have subscribed to the streaming service? I have not, so I tried to register on the downloads page.

On the download side, there doesn't appear to be any way to register without actually starting a purchase. I put something in a shopping cart and was then asked to register, which I have done, leaving the purchase uncompleted in the hope I might receive a discount code. But no email has arrived 3 days after registering.
