The following are excellent recordings and worthy auditioning tracks:
1 “These Bones" by the Fairfield Four.
2 “New Dawn” by Liberia
3 “Prayer” Haley Westerna (from Odyssey)
4 “Long After You Are Gone” Chris Jones (from Smoke and Noise)
5 “Caislean Oir” Clannad (from Macalla)
6 “You Ought to Treat a Stranger Right” Knut Reiersrud (from Tramp)
7 “Landmark” Jack Hardy (fromTramp)
8 “Gymnopedie” Toots Thielmans (from Footprints)
9 “I can’t Stand the Rain” Sara K. (from Hell or High Water)
10 “Mus Ukumbutal Umuntu” Ladysmith Black Mambazo (from Liph Iqiniso)

I was trying from my phone or iPad, that didn’t have it. Maybe it’s less feature-full on the smaller devices.

26

Mine was indeed on macOS. Now tried on iPad and despite 12.9" it’s not there :frowning:

27

Yeah. I use the save giant iPad as well. But thanks Tory for letting me Joe know that it works on the desktop

28

Sad thing is that the iPad screen isn’t really much smaller than my MacBook Air, but I guess they cater to smaller screens on iOS/iPadOS (though I’m sure they could fit a Label button there). Overall, I’m surprised that the iOS and macOS Qobuz apps work as well as they do, as opposed to the rather poor Android phone version

Hi there,
