After a pause of 3 months, I reactivated my Qobuz subscription.
I started completely fresh, i.e. that I removed all Qobuz favourites in my Qobuz account.
I am intending to NOT add Qobuz streaming albums to my roon Library, but I do want to listen via Roon.
In selecting a number of albums, I have 2 albums that were released at least a couple of weeks ago, that are not synchronized into Roon - Qobuz - My Qobuz, after having favourized them ivia the Qobuz webapplication.
album 1: Lucinda Williams - Stories from a rock 'n Roll Heart
The album is not present in Roon - Lucinda Williams Discography, although it has been release on June 30th
So I cannot even play this album via Roon for now!!!
album 2: Alaska Reid - Disenchanter
I have bought this album in the meanwhile at Bandcamp, so I cannot document it anymore.
Behaviour was identical to the Lucinda Williams album.
The reason for suspending my Qobuz account is exactly this - the integration between Qobuz and Roon is far for flawless. I donât know if it is Qobuz, or if it is Roon (or both).
I know one thing for sure, I will not add any Qobuz album to my Roon library anymore. I will listen via Roon if permitted , and if I really like an album I will buy it.
If I were Roon, I would make sure to fix the integration with Qobuz, and avoid all these anomalies. big part of itâs success depends on seamless integration with the (few) streaming partners they partner with.

As I have bought and downloaded the album, it is added to my roon Library of course.
I bought it âdeaflyâ as I could not listen to the streaming version.
Thatâs why I wrote it âshouldâ. My main point was here was that favoriting an album in Qobuz does exactly that you donât want to do, adding it to your Roon library (if it works as expected).
In this respect, it does not matter if you add it to the library within Roon or favorite it in the Qobuz player, the result is exactly the same - it becomes a Qobuz favorite and is added to the Roon library. Thatâs why when you remove a Qobuz album from the Roon library it shows you this:
When I add the album to the library in Roon, it is added immediately.
After removing it again and favoriting it in the Qobuz webplayer, it did not appear immediately in Roon. I donât know what the default sync frequency from Qobuz to Roon is, though.
After going to Roon Settings > Streaming, I see a spinning circle for the Qobuz account, indicating that it is syncing (and when I go to Edit, it says âsynching library nowâ). I am still waiting âŚ
Edit: And 2 minutes later it has appeared as a Roon library album
Well, good to know it works for you for these albums.
For me, ânormalâ behaviour is that favorized albums in
a) the Qobuz webplayer are added to Roon - Qobuz - My Qobuz , but not to My Library in Roon.
b) the Qobuz app, are added both to both Roon - Qobuz - My Qobuz and to my Roon Library. (As it is doing for you)
I have reported this several times in the past, without resolution.
However, this topic is about the 2 specific albums I mentioned, which do not synchronize at all in my case. So I cannot listen to the Qobuz streaming version via Roon.
I have favorized other albums this weekend that did appear in Roon - Qobuz - My Qobuz, such as:
Palehound - Eye onthe Bat
The Clientele - I am not there anymore
But they are not visible in Roon.
These 2 albums are not present in the Discography in Roon.
And if I do a search in Roon, they are not available in the search results either.
They are available in Qobuz of course, otherwise I could not have favorized them.
The Lucinda Williams album is a pre-release - therefor not yet available in Roon. In the Qobuz app, all the tracks are ghosted and only 30 second samples.
Would you please be so kind to check the Lucinda Williams album as well.
As said, I bought the Alaska Reid album, so it is in My Library. It does show a Qobuz version as well now!!!
