Still holding out hope for Qobuz connect, but in the interim, Qobuz has been playing relatively well through my volumio setup. One thing I cannot seem to find a solution for is what I see in the Qobuz app vs Volumio. I currently have 1895 favorite tracks in the Qobuz app, but only a portion of these show up in Volumio. I tried saving these tracks into a Qobuz playlist, and same, a portion appear in Volumio. After breaking up the list into multiple playlist, it seems like the max is 500 tracks is the most that will show up in Volumio in any playlist or favorites. I cant believe that this is the max, and I must be missing a setting somewhere. Is anyone aware of a way to get around this? Is there a setting or something I can tweak to get around this, or is my only option to have multiple 500 track playlists? I thought about using favorites directly in volumio - something I never used before - and seeing if I could create a list of favorites of more than 500, but whenever i mark something as favorite (clicking the āheartā), it never shows up in the favorites section.
Having the same frustration, I wrote elsewhere on this (an older post; Qobuz - playlists - #6 by Tidgee), strangely when I wrote that, the limit seemed to be 1500 tracks but noticed in last few days I am down to 500 now (utterly crazy & not what I would expect). The only āwork aroundā I found is to Bluetooth from the phone app but of course you then loose quality and are not bit perfect anymore, and doing this negates bothering to have high-end audio streaming or Volumio for that matter (just saying). Hereās hoping this is remedied soonā¦
Hi
I have something I dont umderstand with the favorits of volumio.
On a track or album you can add it to favorits. That done , how to listen only the tracks/albums you have in a fovorits list ? Under the qobuz button i do not see any selection.
Any guidance ?
Help would be appreciated

Hi nobody to anwser ?
Many reasons, widespread holidays in Europe, perhaps not every community member using Qobuz? Or not using Qobuz with favorites?
Just give it a little more timeā¦
If you add a favorite track from Qobuz in Volumio, you can find it under Qobuz=>My tracks
If you add an album as favorite, you can find it under Qobuz=>My Albums
Just bear in mind that if your āfavourite tracksā are more than 500 items/songs in length only the first 500 (in ādate addedā sort order) will be added to the play que in Volumio (that goes for playlists in excess of 500 items/songs). Whether that is a limitation of the Volumio software or the Qobuz via their dedicated Volumio server is unclear, but if Qobuz playlists can be 2000 items/songs long in their other platform applications (android, PC etc.) then really this should at least be matched in Volumioā¦
Ok thanks for your support, i continue to study.
I am also seeing this 500 albums limit when looking at my qobuz favorites in Volumio. The reason is that several calls must be made to the api using an offset to retrieve the favorites 500 at a time.
@volumio can the team please look at this?
Hello,
I know this is an old topic but is there any news on this limitation?
This is really frustrating for me as either I am always listening to the same songs (the first 500 ones ) or I need to use the qobuz application and stream through Bluetooth which defeats the purpose of the Qobuz and MyVolumio subscriptionsā¦
Than you in advance for your feedback

Hi Dario
Is there any news on a resolution for this bug?
Thanks a lot
Qobuz API seems to limit to 500 tracks. This is not a Volumio limitation.
But @DED or @volumio may correct me!
Qobuz API is limited to 500 tracks per information retrieval. The API needs to be queried several times until no new information is retrieved any more.
See the following answer by David Craff from qobuz for details.
@DED @Marco_Melziade @volumio please have a look
ā¦ new to Volumio. Got me a Rivo+ as an upgrade to my Auralic Aries streaming transport I used so far.
The ālots of entriesā playlists in Qobuz seem to work really bad with Volumio, unfortunately.
I run Tidal as a backup service ā here my 1800+ collection playlist works, but Volumioās UI is very laggy.
How come?
The 10+ years old Auralic streamer had none such issues ā maybe some smart caching employed there?
Iām a little bummed, TBH.
Not sure what the issue is.
Iām using a Rivo and have no problems loading Qobuz playlists with over 1,000 tracks.
As a Rivo+ owner, youāre entitled to premium support from Volumio.
Please raise a support ticket here:
https://volumio.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1/group/1/create/1
ā¦ thanks, will do.
In the meantime:
https://open.qobuz.com/playlist/34980932
ā¦ this works fine with your setup? Thatās the Playlist giving me trouble ā see screenshot.
Playlist has 1848 tracks, seems related to an API limit?
I canāt open it either, Rivo gets a timeout:
Aug 11 21:35:29 rivo volumio[3186]: info: handleBrowseUri took 10162 milliseconds

Tested the same with a rPi5, same error:

@DED @Marco_Melziade @volumio please have a look
ā¦ did some tests along my morning coffee.
Hereās what I found out:
- removing currently unavailable tracks doesnāt help
- created a new playlist in Qobuz from scratch by adding whole albums after each other. Until several hundreds of tracks (tried even 501
) it all seems to work, though opening the playlist in volumio progressively takes longer as the playlist grows. - at a certain point (>1000 tracks I guessā¦ didnāt take a note) I get the same error again as with the naturally-grown playlist above.
My conclusion: Current Volumio software version has huge issues dealing with big playlists. Since this occurs on both Qobuz and Tidal, I think itās definitely something the Volumio software needs to take care of - it seems not specifically Qobuz related.
Thereās a bit more nuance than simply saying Volumio has a major issue. Around 2023, Qobuz lifted the 1,000-track limit for API calls, but not all vendors have updated their implementations to reflect this. Still, itās definitely something Volumio should look into
