Qobuz launches on Samsung Smart TVs giving owners of Samsung Smart TVs in the 18 markets where Qobuz currently operates instant access to the streaming platform. In addition, the Galaxy Store will be featuring the Qobuz app as an Editor’s Choice within the smart TV App Store, putting it front-and-centre this month.
The Qobuz app for the Samsung Smart TV platform, Tizen OS, will now reach over 190 million households in 197 countries around the world. Samsung TV owners can now download Qobuz from the apps store to get a one-month free trial. The Qobuz streaming app offers music curation in all music genres, unique human-crafted playlists, exclusive content including Qobuz bios and album reviews, liner notes, digital booklets, and more.
For Qobuz users, the new TV app will make listening to music through Qobuz possible throughout the house’s entire entertainment ecosystem. Existing subscribers will easily sign in via a QR code interface allowing instant access to their favourites alongside the album selections and playlists in a familiar, easy-to-use interface.
Maya Harris, Sr. Director of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships for Samsung Electronics said, “Samsung is dedicated to redefining home entertainment and pushing the boundaries of what customers can expect from Smart TVs. The launch of Qobuz on Samsung Smart TVs illustrates how dynamic the smart TV experience has become, both as a single platform as well as a hub for the entire connected home.”
Georges Fornay, Deputy CEO of Qobuz, notes that “Smart TV apps are frequently requested by our subscribers so it only makes sense to develop for the biggest first. It’s exciting to know that our service will get in front of so many music fans and all the potential customers in the Samsung ecosystem.”
