The Qobuz store: albums you actually own
Streaming is borrowing. The Qobuz store is keeping. Purchase an album in 16-bit or Hi-Res 24-bit quality, download the files, and they are yours to store on a drive, a phone or a home server.
Shelves worth browsing in the Qobuz store
Every shelf is a starting point for a purchase, a listening session or a new favourite label.
From the Qobuz store to your speakers
No hidden steps. You choose, you pay, you download.
Choose an album or a single track
Open a release page to see the format, the sample rate and the full credits before you decide.
Pick the file quality
Many albums offer several versions. Take the 24-bit master or a CD-quality copy if storage is tight.
Check out with your account
Sign in with your Qobuz login and complete the payment. The purchase is attached to your account at once.
Download and listen anywhere
Save the files to your computer, or simply press play in the Qobuz web player straight away.
Which download format fits you
Lossless and compact. The safe default for nearly every player and tagger.
Lossless in an Apple-friendly wrapper for iPhone, iPad and Mac libraries.
Uncompressed audio for editing, archiving and professional workflows.
Small files for old players and tight storage, with a quality trade-off.
Reasons collectors choose the Qobuz store
Permanent ownership
Files stay on your drive whatever happens to a streaming catalogue next year.
Honest credits
Performers, composers, producers and engineers are listed, so you know who made the sound.
Digital booklets
Many albums include liner notes and artwork as a PDF, like the inlay of a physical release.
Artists get more
A direct purchase supports the people on the record far more than a single stream does.
Works offline
Copy the files to a player, a car stick or a NAS. No connection needed to listen.
Plays in the player
Every purchase also streams in the web player, so you can taste it before the download finishes.
Qobuz store FAQ
Do I need a subscription to buy in the Qobuz store?
No. A free account is enough to purchase and download albums. A streaming plan is a separate option.
Can I download an album again later?
Yes. Your purchases remain in your account, and you can fetch the files again whenever you sign in.
Are the downloads protected with DRM?
Purchased files are plain audio files you can move between your own devices and players.
Can I buy a single track instead of the full album?
Where the label allows it, individual tracks are sold separately on the release page.
