The French firm's established music download store sits alongside its equally established music streaming service, which became the first of its kind to offer CD-quality and hi-res streams in the UK and boasts one of the strongest hi-res catalogues out there.

Looking to commit to a hi-res music streaming service? After listening to the quality of the free downloads on offer here, Qobuz hopes you just might. Qobuz offers two packages: the Studio Premier plan (£14.99/$14.99 per month or £149.99/$149.99 per year) for streaming of Qobuz’s 50 million-track library; and Sublime+, offering the same discounted purchases but now costing £249.99/$249.99 for the year.
