It's not better than Radio Paradise but it is different. Since I started using Qobuz in earnest at c£15pm I haven't bought any new CDs at all but I've listened to a hell of a lot of newly released albums and because I have "favourited" them they appear in my LMS library to play whenever I want to play them be it on my HiFi or on a simple SB Radio. There are plenty of "Stations" to choose from. The biggest plus to me is the integration with DSTM/LastMix - I'll play an album or a few tracks from my collection and LastMix will then carrying on adding to the playlist indefinitely from both my library and from Qobuz. I've discovered loads of new stuff this way. Why not try a free trial and find out?
