How to switch from Spotify to Qobuz!

Im sure you’re super ready to dump Spotify – this now dystopian music-killing app! 

But if you haven’t heard the news:

CEO Daniel Ek put profits from your monthly subcription into Helsing.ai – the image behind is from their website. Showing off their ‘target and kill’ AI drones..

They’re now running ICE recruitment ads!!!

And they gave $150k US to the trump campaign!

The future looks bright for Spotify as they plan to roll out more and more AI music so they can avoid paying artists entirely!!

So they can make more AI kill drones of course…

Qobuz is a privately owned (no megacorp or billionaire involvement ) French company made by Audiophiles who just love music and actually paying artists one of the best rates in the industry!

1,000,000 streams on Qobuz pays an artist $28k USD  ($34K AUD)

Spotify pays $3800 USD ($5700 AUD)

So from all the musicians, Thankyou

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Sign Up for Qobuz

     Go to qobuz.com

     Choose a plan:

    • Solo: for one listener

    • Duo / Family: for multiple listeners

    • All plans include lossless & hi-res audio

  • You can also try the 30-day free trial, so you can explore before paying.

2. Transfer Your Playlists and Library

You can move your music automatically using a transfer service:

Steps:

  2. Select your playlists or albums on Spotify.

  3. Choose Qobuz as the destination.

  4. Start the transfer, you may have to find a few songs, its not always perfect

3. Cancel Spotify

The most satisfying part!

  1. Go to spotify.com/account.

  2. Select Your Plan → Change Plan → Cancel Premium.

  3. Write a quick ‘fuck you’ and confirm cancellation

You’ll still keep your playlists and library info (handy if you ever need to log back in).

4. Share the word!

We need a majority to dump spotify to really affect them – I’m sure you have family and friends who don’t know about this stuff or have no time to switch.      –     –     –                   so you can help them!

  • Make a quick social media share to show people you made the switch (you actually did it! this inspires more people)

  • Whenever you get a playlist from a friend, tell them you dont use spotify anymore and show them that they can easily transfer the playlist to Qobuz and pay artists 5x more!

  • Next family function I dare you to ask them if they’re still on that megacorp AI killbot fund brainrot slop factory of haha – but then 

ARTISTS!!

If you’re an artist and interested in taking down your music collectively as a group of 10,000+ !! (we hope:)
