Streaming and Download Platform Qobuz Rolls Out App for Android TV

France-headquartered high-quality music streaming and download platform Qobuz has launched its android TV app, which is available on the Google Play Store.

What it means:

• Qobuz’s entire music catalog, including playlists, albums, editorially curated selections and more, is now available to stream directly on TV.

• All music is available in lossless, CD, and hi-res quality.

• The interface has been optimized for navigation on a large screen.

• The Qobuz Connect feature lets users control playback from their smartphone or tablet while the TV plays the audio.

• The app works across all TVs and devices running Google TV, or older Android TV devices.

Why it matters:

• Rivals such as Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal already have native TV apps, so this reduces that competitive advantage.

What they said:

• Axel Destagnol, Chief Product Officer at Qobuz: “Our users have been asking us for Android TV for a long time. This app embodies our desire to be accessible wherever people listen to music, from headphones to the living room, while preserving what makes Qobuz unique: audio quality and editorial richness.”
