Qobuz

Qobuz, a hi-res streaming service, positions itself as an alternative to Spotify by emphasizing its music-focused approach, no-AI content policy, and higher artist royalties. The platform is attracting users who are switching from other services.

Deezer has launched an AI music detector to check playlists on other streaming platforms for synthetic music. The company was the first major service to label AI-generated music and previously offered its detection technology to competitors, though adoption has been limited. Qobuz now uses its own detection system, while Apple and Spotify rely on voluntary tagging.
