Thanks for the confirmation. It makes sense to default to local language or to use the local language if an English text isn’t available for a local artist or album. But where the English version exists, not allowing the user to choose it is just stupid - and clearly there is no legal issue because they can do it in NL.
Anyway, it was one of the reasons I started to look for alternatives and found Roon, so I’m good now 
And frankly the ROON newbie community is glad you found ROON too! 
Thx for the link and Qobuz finally delivered connect
Aww, thank you! 
I find Roon’s user interface is kind of old fashioned looking compared to the Qobuz app, especially the Qobuz desktop version.
The Magazine section is very good, it offers an immersive musical experience where you can read articles or panorama, and then jump straight to music.
I agree the editorial stuff is a missed boat in Roon as it relies too much on AllMusic/TiVo which. I also find the reviews well written.
I need to catch up here, but what exactly will Qobuz Connect give me ?
I use ROON, a Lumin streamer and my DAC. I also use Qobuz a bit to stream or buy some music.
What will Connect do for me ?
Qobuz app UI and its associated features. Autoplay based on Qobuz algorithm instead of Roon Radio algorithm.
Hmmm…this Roon member is questioning now what Roon brings – if anything – to the party.
Qobuz Connect is working on my Naim NDX2. Assuming the UI/UX of the Qobuz controller app is suitable I’m not so sure Roon has a compelling enough story to take my retirement savings unecessarily. I think I’m about to start saving $130/yr.
That’s an easy choice: “Assuming the UI/UX of the Qobuz controller app is suitable” is a big assumption, but if you don’t like or need what Roon gives you, don’t pay for it.
Nice savings if you don’t find value.
The cost of roon for me is negligible considering its management of the thousands of hours of local files (concert SBR). I also prefer the UI - especially the provision of lyrics that I definitely need (ref: aforementioned SBR 
)
I asked devialet their Q connect plans a few times and to date it’s been “not planned for now”.
Today the response from their team changed to “Hello, so… Watch this space (very, very soon!)”
Can you possibly transfer playlists from Roon to Qobuz Connect?
Qobuz connect notwithstanding if you have a Roon core operating within your system will offer you an opportunity to stream music via the Qobuz app and Ethernet directly to your Qobuz compatible streamer then to your DAC or streamer/DAC combination. Effectively, streaming directly through Ethernet as opposed to USB or WiFi. Hopefully, this is helpful in clarifying.
I am also trying to do the same thing, am interested in some tips on how to it.
Once you get the hang of Qobuz Connect, no going back to the bad or inconvenient way of playing music.
Here’s hoping that someone can help us both here.
I should admit that Roon remains my main source though, as I took out a lifetime subscription. Still, if Q Connect can accept playlists from Roon, it is set to become my main mobile streaming option.
Thanks, Hi-Fi Pete. I am really only looking to use Q Connect as an alternative to Roon ARC for mobile streaming.
I don’t actually use a DAC in my set-up, and am currently streaming straight from my Dell XPS-15 (7590) laptop into a Genelec 9320A controller: both are directly connected to my hub via ethernet.
Hi Peter, I’m not sure how accurate this will turn out to be, but my AI gave me the following response to our issue:
Yes, you can transfer playlists from Roon to Qobuz Connect, but it requires a workaround. Soundiiz is a service that helps migrate playlists between different platforms, including Roon and Qobuz. You can export your Roon playlists as an Excel file and then import them into Qobuz using Soundiiz.
Here’s how you can transfer your playlists from Roon to Qobuz Connect using Soundiiz:
Your playlist should now be available in Qobuz Connect!
There is another way to do this and all within Roon.
If you already have a playlist created in Roon, head to it and follow this sequence.
Now go to Qobuz and your library > playlist section and they’ll show up here.
No need for soundiiz.
Greetings Desmond, my apologies for the presumption. With Q Connect and internet connectivity and all devices on the same home network, Roon ARC is not required. Furthermore, if Q is the only music streaming app that is used in Roon to compose your playlist then they should to the best of my knowledge be available on your Q app. If you have additional music streaming services then the music from those music streaming services will not be available in Qobuz app or Qobuz Connect. Lastly, to the best of my knowledge the Roon ARC is for offsite use meaning away from your home allowing you to access Roon and your music collection and playlists remotely as an example in your car. The only issue with the ARC and again to the best of my knowledge and in my respectful opinion it potentially exposes your home network to hacker attacks.
