I may be in the minority but I'm finding that purchasing digital music albums from Qobuz is a pain...

The track file naming convention is such that you have to edit them to eliminate the leading "1-", add a leading zero to the first nine tracks, eliminate the band/artist name, and eliminate the trailing "_6" or "_7". I use "Bulk Rename Utility" and "MP3tag" applications which make it easier than doing it manually but it's still a bunch of unnecessary work.
They add "(live)" to the track titles on a live album (WTF?) and I have to eliminate the unnecessary metadata.

If you log out of the Qobuz application on a PC/laptop the app deletes not just the import folder but the download folder as well. I just had to re-download eight albums worth of music.
