Welcome.
Quote:Now that the classical music specialist PRIMEPHONIC has announced a merger with Apple Music and given that a high proportion of classical listeners are fussy about sound quality, plus the fact that all Primephonic subscribers have been given 6 months free sub to Apple’s service, isn’t this the time to agree terms with Apple for an integrated offering along the same lines as with Spotify
I realise that dealing with Apple wouldn’t be easy but it could well be now or never. Apple Music dies not gave a broad appeal among classical listeners whose natural designation would, I think, be one if the three above. This is especially true among MoOde users, so MoOde Audio has domething Apple should want.
From my personal perspective, there's no terms to agree with Apple for a FOSS project like moOde. The other streaming services you refer to are available to moOde only because of work by other, third-party developers.
As for Primephonic, I was an early and loyal subscriber but I have no interest whatsoever in becoming an Apple Music subscriber. Thankfully, the recent email to me from Primephonic promises "A refund will be issued for the remaining days in your paid subscription."

Thanks for the Welcome and for explaining the situation. I am with you re Apple Music. I was being polite in my post.. they are just about the last outfit I’d have chosen. The oromise of good things to come in 6 months sounds like kicking the can down the road, into the ling gras irbany dimilar expression. Now, what was my Qubuz id…?
PS i have not got the hang of this forum; sorry if I‘ve put everything in the erong place.
