Welcome to the QobuzDownloaderX-MOD wiki

This wiki will explain the basic functionality of the QobuzDownloaderX-MOD application.
It is a work in progress, screenshots might be added later.

Logging in

By default, you can login to the app with your normal Qobuz account credentials.
Just like you login to the Qobuz app or website, enter your email (1) and password (2) in the designated textboxes and press the Login button (3).

QobuzDownloaderX-MOD Login Normal

If you, for some reason, can't log in with your normal credentials, you can click on the Can't log in? Click here label (4) under the Login button and login using the alternative way

The status of the login process will be displayed in the label at the bottom of the screen (5).

By default, QobuzDownloaderX-MOD will fetch the App Id and App Secret values it uses to login and access the streams, from the current version of the Qobus Web Player automatically. Should you want to log in the alternative way with a Token you retrieved using an older version of the Web Player, you will need to provide the App Id and App Secret values from the previous version of the Web Player, as each token generated by logging into the web player, is only valid in combination with that version of the Web Player's values (if changed).

You can open the settings screen by clicking the gear icon in the top right (6).

QobuzDownloaderX-MOD Settings Screen

In the settings screen, you can enter the App Id and App Secret values for which your Token is valid. By saving these values and exiting the settings screen, QobuzDownloaderX-MOD will use the given values instead of retrieving the most recent ones. Clearing both fields and saving the settings screen, will tell QobuzDownloaderX-MOD to once again automatically retrieve the latest values on each login.

First time set-up

When launching QobuzDownloaderX-MOD for the first time, you will need to select a download folder where you want to save the downloaded files.
Just press the Choose Folder button and a browser window will open where you can select the base download folder.
If you want to make use of the build-in Long Paths support (for paths longer then 260 characters), please refer to the Version 1.2.5.0 Release Notes for instructions.

Downloading items

When you enter the app, you will find a large textbox titled "Qobuz link" at the top of the window (in front of the download button).
This field is used to enter the links to the items to be downloaded.

The application currently supports downloading tracks, albums, artist, labels, playlists & user favorite albums.
You can open the item that you want to download in the Qobuz Webplayer, copy the url and paste it in the app.
For albums, artists & labels, store links from the Qobuz webstore should also work.

Once you entered a valid link, just press the Download button to start downloading the requested items.
When a download is in progress, you can stop the download job by pressing the Stop Download button.
