I’ve been really enjoying Funkwhale and Qobuz after finally opening accounts for them! 🤩 I’ve been researching them and keeping my eyes on them for a while now and decided to dive in. 🌊

Since signing up for Qobuz I also started a bit of a deep dive on hi-res audio since they offer hi-res audio tracks. I wanted to understand if I really need to upgrade all my music cuz I’ve never been dissatisfied with music in the past and think it sounds really beautiful. Even with my plebian setup of non hi-res audio and basic earbuds. 🤠 It’s such a complex little niche of the universe that I’ve been curious about for a long time. I know I’ve only barely scratched the surface, but I got what I needed.

I also love the concept of Funkwhale SO MUCH! I’m really enjoying testing it out and designing a possible future where it’s my home for music and all things audio. 🔥🔥 It’s been really fun exploring the experience and design too and discovering many UX pitfalls and adjustments to be made. But I’m gonna wait for Funkwhale 2.0 to see how much of it is improved. It’s supposed to be quite a lot! 🤷‍♂️ But it’s such a fun twist on music and I’ve always wanted to make my music more social so I really hope the improvements around federation are solid! 🤞
