Qobuz, the high-resolution music streaming and download platform, has announced a new global partnership with independent music retailer Rough Trade. The announcement, promising streaming deals, discounts and live in-store events for customers, comes as Rough Trade marks its 50th anniversary.
An initial two-year deal will establish Qobuz as the official streaming service of Rough Trade stores in the US, UK and Germany until 2028. Music from the Qobuz download store – which features more than 100 million tracks in lossless formats such as CD, hi-res (up to 24-bit/192kHz), DXD and DSD – will be available through Rough Trade’s retail website, with streaming deals and other offers up for grabs.
