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.

The player includes a terminal ui, a web-ui and a RFID 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.
