That will be nice!

IMO Spotify still does a better job of letting me find new music than Qobuz. In fact, although I enjoy Qobuz I am surprised at how amazingly lackluster its ability is at suggesting music discovery.

I also subscribe to Qobuz and totally agree that Spotify is much better at suggesting/finding new music.
 
I subscribe to Qobuz and got an email today - "Your new Discover experience — now more personalized" I haven't tried it yet.

Thanks for sharing. I'll have to check it out this weekend. Hopefully it's an improvement.
 
I've cancelled my Spotify and Qobuz subscriptions. I've decided to stay with the free Spotify and listen to lossy lossy music via Airplay.
 
In my opinion lossless is misleading marketing and giving the impression that the incoming signal is being oversampled and that is not true, 44 kHz is the same sample rate as a cd.

Secondly: due to limitations in physics 24 bit does not exist, because of deviations in the capacitors, trafo etcetera the last bits are never being transcribed into an analog signal: I don’t think there are setups on the market which are able to translate the last bits of a 16 bit input signal. My ladder dac has only 8 bit and it sounds amazing. I doubt if Suncoast Audio has a setup in the house that is able to translate all 16 bits, I think it is nowadays still impossible to do that.

Conclusion “Lossless” spotify is nothing more then cd quality
 
Exciting news about Spotify going lossless! 🎧 If you’re planning to compare sound quality or switch between lossless streaming platforms like Tidal, Qobuz, or Apple Music, MusConvtool can help transfer your playlists instantly — no need to rebuild them from scratch.
 
If all the big three CD quality streaming services charge relatively the same cost to subscribe I guess it just comes down to witch interface you prefer the most? Am I correct?

So what would be your reason to choose one over the other?
Tidal $10.99 month
Spotify $11.99 month
Qobuz $10.83 month

If I have to choose just one, I would pick Spotify because 1) it has better graphical user interface, 2) better music recommendations, 3) allows jamming sessions with friends, and 4) most people are familiar with Spotify.
