I use the family version of Qobuz. Comes to CAD $3.20/M per user, or CAD $38.40/Y per user.

They pay the artist super well, sound quality is good.

Some songs are missing, but can found in their store purchasing in other countries (for example, I not find some albums in their Canadian store, but I could find them in their U.S. store).

There is also AD free YouTube for missing songs. Or but them from Bandcamp during Bandcamp Fridays (for max artist revenue)

I find qobuzs song suggestions to be subpar to my liking and the music keeps buffering for only ten seconds compared to other services that load the whole song. Uk has pretty spotty signal so I end with lots of interruptions. Any advice on how to Improve?

[-] dudesss@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

That's fair you ask how to improve the signal. You could try to either bring down the music quality, or to download the songs.

Other than that, do what you can to avoid anything that will slow down your bandwidth.
