Spotify Execs Bet People Will Pay for AI-Generated Music

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I have been enjoying Qobuz, since quitting Spotify a couple of years ago. Everything's better quality, they have proper credits and PDF CD booklets, the classical music metadata is much better, it encourages you to listen more deliberately to music you choose, and I don't feel dirty for funding scumbags.
I've been using Qobuz for about a year and generally like it. There are a couple of things that are making me want to switch though. 1) Artists often have albums associated with them that don't belong. Check out the Australian band Jet as an example. 2) Some artists I like have albums on both Spotify and Tidal that they don't have on Qobuz for some reason
This is annoying, I agree. Join Qobuz Club and upvote suggestions to prioritise cleaning it up.
Contact the acts management to pressure the label to release on Qobuz too. It should be in their interest.
I am part of the club and upvote any comments I see about catalogue clean ups. I've also posted a few on my own, but haven't gotten any acknowledgement on them from the Qobuz team.
I have emailed the label to request the missing albums also be uploaded to Qobuz, but did not receive any response on that. I have also submitted the request through Qobuz for the albums to be added to and received the automated reply email, but who knows if anything will happen with that.
Qobuz is great! I've been using it for over 2 years now.
