Perhaps a VPN might solve his issue ??

Could be he needs a VPN to fake that he is logged into Qobuz from the USA ;-)

exactly who did just that years ago with Qobuz.

Like from Switzerland??

  This was in the days when Qobuz was available in Europe but not in the US. I think Ivan303 signed up for his Qobuz streaming account while he was living in France. And then when he moved back to the US, he was able to keep his existing Qobuz account by using a French VPN.
  
  In my case, I signed up for Qobuz using a "nom de plume", and going through a French VPN. However in my case it was just to get a download on Qobuz which was not otherwise available in the US - not to sign up for streaming. When Qobuz set up shop here in the US, I registered again, this time for the streaming too under my "real" ID - Chris from Lafayette. No VPN necessary anymore.

Nope not using VPN and it's a Japanese account.

  People have been known to create and sign-up for US based streaming accounts (Netflix for example) from outside the US via VPN. Just throwing some ideas out there.

    Thanks Abe, I appreciate your inputs and thoughts on this topic, I think my frustrations with Qobuz might have come through on my posts.
    
    I finally now have a reason to actually use my Roon account. Believe it or not I was an early adopter and purchased a life-long account, way back when. But never really used it due to its lack of Linux Roon-Remote support. Well I guess the stars have aligned in favor of Roon in my house. Roon seems to manage Qobuz better than Qobuz itself, I found a great and stable method to use Roon-Remote on my Linux computer and my Network player supports Roon. So I guess Roon/Qobuz it is....

    - Some thoughts on Roon... - AbeCollins 09:17:22 12/21/24 (2)
      I purchased my Roon lifetime license several years ago, too.
      Roon can be a little confusing because of its flexibility and Roon's own nomenclature. They dropped the idea of "Roon Core" and "Roon Server", for example. Now it's just Roon. But there are also separate components like Roon Remote for tablets and smartphones, and Roon Bridge to make your own DIY Roon network streamers (on Raspberry Pi in my case). And Roon ARC. Roon needs to be licensed on just one device, usually your server/NAS where your music resides. I have Roon installed on a few Macs around the house but the license is enabled on just one of them. Or I'll move the license to my Synology NAS should I run it there. This chart and the link below spell it out. Fun stuff!

        I've been running Roon for a few years but being a creature of habit I often do the same things within the UI. There is so much more to Roon that I have yet to 'poke' and explore. Have fun!
