However, these days I almost entirely listen to streamed music via Qobuz and now rarely purchase downloads.
My last CD purchase was at a concert a few months - expecting that the relatively obscure group would never make it to Qobuz or to a digital download site. To my surprise, within a week of my purchase, the CD was featured on Qobuz. I now listen to it streamed from Qobuz rather than the ripped digital version.
I tried to get Qobuz, but it seems their distribution in the US at least is highly limited. Most of the documentation was in French, and their web pages sometimes were confusing to say the least. Tidal, in contrast, was trivial to install, and is much better supported than Qobuz. All that being said, I would like to still try Qobuz, and I wonder if anyone in the US has it working.
