Digital Booklets on Qobuz

[jeremyrose]

I play my Qobuz favourites list through my Wim Amp Pro. Up until recently I have been able to click on the three dots underneath the album title, then click 'Description' and access the digital booklet (where available). This facility seems to have disappeared. Any ideas why? (This is my first posting on this forum, so apologies if I've missed any other posts on this topic.

Have you tried to use the Qobuz app and use the new Connect? The app becomes a remote control with all features available. The WiiM device does the stream playback; no data downloads through the Qobuz app.

Thanks so much, Adias... I didn't realise that, in effect, I can by-pass the Wiim app altogether. Easy when you know how, I guess..! Thanks again - much appreciated.

I've discovered a problem... The Qobuz app doesn't seem to support gapless playback, so if I'm listening to an opera, say, there are brief drop-outs between tracks. I've gone back to the WiiM app - which is fine - and I can always view the digital booklets via the Qobuz app, but it's weird that they've disappeared from WiiM...

Qobuz Connect supports gapless playback.

I listened to the same album via the Qobuz app and the WiiM app and the WiiM app was the only one that played without gaps.

Are you sure you use Qobuz Connect and NOT Google(Chromecast)?

 

[jeremyrose]

Yes, it gives me the option of Chromecast or Connect and I choose Connect

I gave away my WiiMs a while ago, but I remember Qobuz Connect was ALWAYS gapless.

I just streamed The Wall on Qobuz connect. Another Brick in the Wall 3 fades out into Goodbye Cruel World. There were no gaps in between those two tracks. You may need to check your internet connection?

Internet connection is fine. As I said, playing my Qobuz playlist through the WiiM app is fine - it's just when I connect to the WiiM via Connect in the Qobuz app.

Well I switched to Qobuz a few weeks ago for the connect feature and am finding some albums do not play gapless using Qobuz Connect. WiiM Pro wired through Ethernet so I don’t feel it’s a network issue.

Well, damn. I'd thought the albums I tried just didn't happen to have digital booklets, but now that I check I see that booklets are available in the Qobuz app but not in the WHA. Please bring digital booklets back to the WHA as soon as reasonably possible.

And no, I am not switching to the Qobuz app as a substitute. I like the WHA.

P.S. I have an iPod Touch running an older version of the WHA, 3.2.1.25042813, and booklets are no longer showing in that version either. So perhaps the change is something on Qobuz's end.
