qobuz-player

High resolution audio player backed by Qobuz

Powered by Qobuz. Requires a paid subscription. This does not allow you to listen for free.

This is a mono repo for multiple third party apps for Qobuz.

This includes a terminal app, a web server and web-ui, a RFID player, and a minimal Qobuz Connect player.

The web interface is ideal for a setup with a single board computer, e.g. Raspberry Pi, connected to the speaker system and controlled with a smartphone or tablet.
