Wildly disrespectful to any artist that ever lived. I’m all up for sharing alternatives that are good/better towards actual artists. Still evaluating my choices, but meanwhile this seems like the only and rather easy signal the streaming community can give as to spread the word if they agree (next to stopping your own subscription).

That doesn’t seem to work for me. I’ve dowloaded my driving playlist, and hit the toggle to only show downloaded tracks, but for some reason the Android app still wants to stream sometimes AND when it does it evidently deletes the downloaded version. I haven’t change the playlist in months, and I keep having to hit the download button, because one or more tracks is somehow no longer downloaded.
I have checked both my Qobuz and system-level storage allocation and availability. I’m no where near running out of either.
Yeah, I do wish I could disconnect those. I understand why someone would want a playlist to “follow” them across devices, but I don’t, usually. Right now, it’s the only way I can get the “DailyQ” to play on my laptop or desktop. But, if I could I’d keep the phone just on the few playlists that I have downloaded on it, and do streaming / exploration / auto-play / weekly shows on my laptop and desktop.
Ah yeah I have that too, but that doesn’t seem to be for the same reason as you.
