I have Tidal and Qobuz installed on my new Samsung/Android phone. However, I'm having difficulty finding the transport for both streaming services. The meta information (discography, biographic info, other album info) shows up for both streaming services but when I want to listen to albums on either service I can't find the transport to play the music on. Maybe I should add, when I listen to music I listen to entire/whole albums, not just song lists. I almost never listen to song lists. Just albums. So how do I get the transport up on the screen (on my phone) so I can listen to the music on either streaming service?

Android's version of Apple AirPlay is Google's Chromecast Built-in (formerly known as Google Cast). In my experience, only mass market audio products like receivers and smart TVs you find at Best Buy and some bluetooth speakers support this, and the alternative is to purchase a Chromecast dongle. The older Chromecast Audio devices with digital audio output are discontinued but can still be found. The newer Chromecast for TV devices only have an HDMI connection. Both the Tidal and Qobuz apps are listed as supporting Chromecast.

Since you are already using Roon, your best bet is to install the Android Roon app on your Android phone, sign in to Tidal and Qobuz in Roon (you may have already done this), and use Tidal and Qobuz from the Roon app.
