When accessing Qobuz through Audirvana, Qobuz’s Discover option only brings up four choices – Qobuz Grand Selection, Tailored For You, Press Awards, and Top Albums on Qobuz. It doesn’t bring up the New Releases or other choices that are available under the Discover option when accessing Qobuz directly rather than through Audirvana. Am I missing something, or is there some way of adding the New Releases choice to the Qobuz-through-Audirvana Discover option? Thanks!
Hi @Dradder Personally I do my new release searching in the Native Qobuz App after midnight on Friday mornings with a restart of Audirvāna on Friday morning so that all added albums populate to Audirvāna.
However I do find that most of the New Releases are in the Grand Selection Section. If you want to use the same search options as the Native Qobuz App, click the See All button, then click the Funnel to the Top Right to give you access to the Genre Options. To make it a bit easier for you to select the Albums from the Genres you want.
Screenshot for your information - trust that it helps in your endeavours. 
Thanks for your useful reply. Your method is basically what I’ve been doing – going on the Qobuz app on Fridays, clicking on the New Releases choice under the Discover option, taking note of what I want to find later, then fresh start of Audirvana & just search for my new picks.
It just strikes me that if the Audirvana programmers are limited to the number of Qobuz Discover options they can put up on Audirvana, the ones they’ve picked are some of the least useful, especially for people who want to hear something new. I mean, a choice like “Top Albums on Qobuz,” even when I funnel to the Classical genre, that really doesn’t produce much that I haven’t already come across.
Thanks again.
Qobuz Grand Selection = New releases, simple as that.
This is not true. I made an inquiry to Qobuz & received the following –
"No, Qobuz Grand Selection and Qobuz New Releases are not the same.
-
Qobuz New Releases is a regularly updated section featuring the
latest music across all genres, including albums, singles, and EPs. -
Qobuz Grand Selection is a curated list of high-quality albums, often
highlighting exceptional recordings, audiophile favorites, or critically
acclaimed works. It may include both new and older releases that meet
Qobuz’s high standards for sound quality and artistic merit.
So, while there may be some overlap, Grand Selection is more about
curation and quality, whereas New Releases focuses on the most recent
music."
this is Qobuz Grand Selection in their app
And this is the new releases. In Audirvāna Studio, we are using this as when you scroll, you get a new album being loaded.
All you’re showing is that there’s some overlap between Qobuz Grand Selection and Qobuz New Releases, which nobody including Qobuz says otherwise. However, Qobuz itself says that their Grand Selection and New Releases choices are NOT the same. Why would Qobuz have two choices with identical content?
I think the person answering from Qobuz support has been somewhat confused by all the different sections they have been using and currently are using.
When I open the latest version of the mobile app (Qconnect-beta07) there is no such thing as Grand Selection anymore. What is available there is as follows:
- New Releases
- Qobuz Playlists (The ones curated by or for Qobuz, so not your own. Your own playlists are under Library)
- Playlists by Category
- Recommended for you (Only thing available is My Weekly Q)
- Qobuz Essential Discography (I think this is what the contactperson was speaking about)
- Top Albums (most streamed)
- Qobuzissime
- Albums of the Week
- Press Accolades
Grand Selection is non existent these days. So I guess that recent changes on the side of Qobuz make for a confusing and non consistent image. It seems to me that some of these changes are effecting what Audirvāna can show. And from a Google search I understand this confusing behaviour is not limited to Audirvāna either.

Indeed. When I open the Qobuz app and also Qobuz in the web browser there is no Grand Selection anymore under ‘Discover’. I see the list @Amarok1969 describes in the post above.
@Dradder, do you still see the Qobuz Grand Selection in the Qobuz app or in the browser?

You and Amorok1969 are correct. I just installed the Qobuz app on my Android tablet, and the Discover choices are as you describe. I checked the Qobuz web player on my PC, and the Grand Selection choice no longer appears there, either. This is a change that slipped by me, and apparently for the Qobuz support person who replied to my inquiry as well.
The upshot being that Audirvana has a Discover option for Qobuz that no longer exists.

Yes, I think dat both (Audirvana and Qubuz) show the same information, but the confusing part is that Audirvana and Qobuz have different titles above the same section.
Audirvana could change the section title to avoid any confusion.

Agreed. The confusion seems to be more on Qobuz’s part than Audirvana’s, and your suggestion would seem to be the simplest solution.

@Antoine Work to be done 
@Dradder Just caught up with this thread. I won’t get started on things that Support @ streaming companies say, but the thing that I did find very early on with them is that the new releases shown by them on a Friday in their App or the API in Audirvāna/Roon etc is normally only a fraction of new releases across the board.
Some may only show up there days or weeks later after release, however most are in the system. Things that I do to assist are to :
search Music Sites that provide lists of upcoming release (Check with sites that support the Genres you like/follow) and search by Album or Artist for the release. Or
Check the Labels on Qobuz as they are normally very good at having all their releases in latest release order.
Waiting on Qobuz to hand feed you new music that you like is a sure way to starve,
Hope some of this helps you.

Hi @ChiliHot ,
I don’t quite understand what you mean. If I start the Qobuz app and look at the new releases and I start Audirvana Studio and look there to Qobuz I see exactly the same new releases as in the Qobuz app. Isn’t it logical to assume that the Qobuz app uses the same API (maybe with some adjustments) as provided to Audirvana?
Edit: never mind. I misread your post. Now I understand what you where saying😉

Thanks for the tips; much appreciated. Somehow it’d escaped me that Qobuz allows searching by Labels. Just now following up on that, finding it very useful.

Hi @AndyLubke Thanks for the question. I was maybe not specific enough in my previous comments. Agree that what you see in the Audirvana and Qobuz right now is probably the same (Well for the first 30 -40 Albums for me this morning it is anyway.
What i was getting at is that the New Releases that show first thing on either Qobuz or Audirvana on a Friday morning at 12.01 am is not a full and exhaustive list of the new releases available that day on their platform. I’m maybe pulling figures out of the air, but in my mind i would say its maybe 30-40% of available new release on any given Friday.
I’m up at midnight or thereabout every day tom take medication, so it has become a bit of a process for me. Check Qobuz, Check Tidal, Check Presto, Check Bandcamp and then try to fill in the gaps. Additional Albums may also pop up later in the day or week as well that may not have shown on any of the services.

Labels are getting more and more attention in Qobuz. Really cool to have that now.
