I am attempting to replicate the kind of music that Siriusly Sinatra channel serves and am seeking ideas on how to do so in roon using Qobuz.
As a long time roon user, I have been very happy with the way Roon chooses music for me once my playlist or an album ends. I have discovered more music using roon in a few years than I did in decades before roon. Before roon, I didn’t think there was a better way to get my kind of music any other way… until recently. When I got a new car, it came with a free Sirius XM subscription. It’s channel 70 (Siriusly Sinatra) seems to play the exact music (90% of the time) that I listen to very often. So much so that it is the only channel I listen to when in my car.
I wondered if there is a way to repliate that level of high match with my music taste using roon? When i tried giving a Sinatra album to roon, it didn’t really go my way for too long. It was good but not great. Same for a playlist I curated to test this. I wondered what am I missing.
Is there a good way to get 90% match the way Sirius does it?
Sure, here’s a link to the Sinatra channel on xmplaylist. You can make a Spotify playlist by clicking the link and then convert that playlist to a Tidal or Qobuz playlist. JCR
I tried the above. Mapped the Ch 70 playlist on Spotify to Qobuz. It resulted is three huge playlists with these tracks - there are ~5700 in the Spotify playlist.
Here are three playlists on Qobuz with all the mapped tracks - a total of 4,626 tracks because I asked Soundiiz to remove duplicates and there were about 200 tracks that were not matched. Also, Qobuz has a limit of 2,000 tracks per playlist so Soundiiz made three playlist:
I agree this is very cool! I definitely enjoyed getting to check out that XM playlist site which I did not know even existed and found it easy to transfer playlists toQobuz using free version of TuneMyMusic (500 track limit but fine by me)!
