Thought I'd give Qobuz a try just now, and was very disappointed and frustrated with the experience. I bought two albums, one of them a special edition with something like 30+ tracks on it. If you don't use their downloader (which didn't work on Linux, and not on Mrs. Hedge's Windows computer either) you have to download the album tracks one by one, which is cumbersome and a pain. Ok, yes, I know, boo hoo, but Bandcamp doesn't make you do this! In terms of personal preference after bandcamp comes 7digital, which isn't great either, and then Qobuz which I will only ever buy from if I can't find an album anywhere else.

Did something change? Last time I bought an album on Qobuz i could download the whole thing in a single zip file. This was quite a while ago though

Yeah, I remembered that, as well. I have an HD album that I bought a while ago and downloaded as a zip file. I looked again just now and it only gives you the ability to download file by file unless you use their client. That's remarkably shitty.

Qobuz is good for streaming hi-res and... that's it.

I was pleasantly surprised by their service at first but it is subpar now... Album and tracks disappearing, Qobuz no longer working correctly on Yamaha HiFi, ... I'm quite disappointed.
