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.The album cover image is in PNG format and has to be converted to JPG to use with my digital music file player.
You can't specify your own download folder and all files end up in a default "Qobuz" folder. I then have to move all the albums to where I want them to reside.
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.
I'm not sure if this is unique to Qobuz but "(live)" is added to the track titles on a live album (WTF?) and I have to eliminate the unnecessary metadata.
Compared to the other hi-res download sites I purchase from, Qobuz is a pain in the...

Edited: I'm sure there are reasons why Qobuz formats their download files and metadata the way they do, but with modern operating systems and software able to accommodate blanks, and prefix zeros typically being used in file names for tracks 1 - 9, I do wonder what they are.
