I recently subscribed to Qobuz...just running it through my computer and computer sound system for now. No audio gear involved except for the computer monitor speakers.

Anyway, I can't figure out how to stream my selection/s? Qobuz just plays a sample of each song on the album instead of playing the album (or song) in it's entirety. How do I get Qobuz to stream an entire album? BTW, I've ripped my entire CD collection to iTunes. Is there a way to play those through Qobuz?
 
You are only going to get samples until you pick a subscription plan and enter a card number. They won't charge your card until your 30 days of free trial is up and you don't cancel.
 
As Jack indicated above, you must have a subscription to Qobuz in order to stream anything more than samples. I see that you indicated that you did subscribe to Qobuz, but perhaps the subscription process did not complete properly. Be sure you confirm that you are signed in before you start to try to stream the songs.

As far as playing your itunes songs, I don't believe the Qobuz interface has a way to do that. Maybe there is a Windows audio player that will combine sources of music files, including Qobuz, but I am unaware of one.
 
OK, got Qobuz working through my computer. I like it! Just wondering if there's a way to connect it to my HT set up? I'm using a Yamaha RX 765 receiver that's about 10 to 12 years old and not online. It's connected to a Samsung smart TV. Hoping maybe there's a way to perhaps go indirect through the smart TV, computer, computer network, WiFi, BlueTooth, etc.?
 
Does your smart tv have the ability to give you a web browser? If so, you could connect to Qobuz through that and play the audio through your receiver.

I believe that Chromecast Audio is the one that was discontinued not the regular Chromecast.

No. I am saying that you can use Google Chromecast to stream Qobuz to your TV. And if you connect your TV to your receiver you can listen to your Qobuz music that way.

Both of our TVs are smart TVs but they don't have browsers. Isn't that a necessity for Qobuz or any other streaming service?
 
Some smart TVs have apps that are available. I have a smart TV that has TIDAL and Pandora and Spotify apps built into it. So no browser is necessary for those streaming services with that TV.

No. You will be using your phone or your tablet as your "browser".

You have to install the Qobuz app in your phone or tablet and use that app to send the signal to Google Chromecast. The Google Chromecast device is connected to your TV via a HDMI port. Your music then will play via the TV. Then, if you want to, you can connect your TV to your receiver (optical, RCA, other) to play through your speakers.
But you are controlling what you want to listen to via your phone or tablet and the Qobuz app.

Agree. But the OP already said that his TV does not have a browser.

You don't need a browser per, se, to use the apps. You just need the apps and a connection to the internet. By definition, a smart tv can run some apps. That's one of the things that makes it "smart". My smart tv does not give me a browser to use, such as Firefox, it just has specific apps to use to connect to specific sites. Pandora, Spotify, and TIDAL are some of the built in apps.

Does your TV has a built in app for Qobuz?

No, it does not. Qobuz has only been available in the US for a couple of months. So I imagine only the newest of smart tvs might have access to a Qobuz app. I also have an Amazon Firestick that is hooked up to my tv. I'll have to see if Qobuz has an app available for that. But I really don't have a need to stream music through my tv. I have a LUMIN D2 Network Player that I use to do all my streaming.
