Spotify never sounds good to me while Tidal does.
My car supports Tidal at CD quality natively and it sounds better than every other option I've tried while driving. I can stream Qobuz while stationary using the browser at 24/192 and it sounds superb but it won't play while driving since the stream is recognized as a video stream, not audio, and all video is shut down for safety reasons.
We could just call it "All Things Digital".

Interesting about your Qobuz 'hi-res' streaming.... - AbeCollins 17:28:07 07/10/22 (1)
My wife and I have a 'shared data plan' on our cellphones as it nets out to be significantly cheaper for us vs an unlimited plan as we don't stream that much. Videos and hi-res audio streaming would consume a good amount of that 'shared data'.

If we're going on a road trip and I want to play music or movies from my iPhone, I download them first from home Wifi before we depart for our trip so I can play them in offline mode. [Same for movies on the iPad].

Most all streaming services (including Tidal and Qobuz) have what is called offline mode and this is how we play our music in the car without actually streaming off the cellular data plan.

I'll have to try actual hi-res streaming from the cellular network in my car to see if it thinks its video in which case it shouldn't play while the car is in motion.

  Qobuz works in my Audi using the ATT in car wifi. It's not great, it's slow and intermittent even when scaling back the resolution to CD quality. Of course I live in Silicon Valley, where the internet connections are awful. In contrast I never had an issue with Spotify in the car, streamed perfectly, but then again it was MP3 quality. I got rid of Spotify, since I really don't listen to anything in the car anyway, and didn't use it at home after I signed up for Qobuz.
