I've been meaning to distance myself from Spotify for a while now but I've got a lot on my plate and their service has been very convenient. I've been paying for no ads since 2014 so I haven't heard the ads personally but have seen multiple sources online describe them and confirm they they haven't stopped as of today. I cancelled immediately. Not sure how many Spotify users there are on Lemmy but I just thought y'all ought to know what they're up to. Spotify let's you write a message saying why you're cancelling and I was very descriptive. Hopefully they'll back down just like Disney with Jimmy Kimmel.

How do the voice commands work with this app? Similar to Spotify? I use Google speakers currently.

Can't say as I haven't tried, but as another commenter mentioned, they have cross-device control similar to Spotify. The Android Auto app works well too, so I wouldn't be surprised if it supports voice control as well.

I've recently switched off Spotify to tidal and now qobuz and the voice commands haven't worked for me.

As far as I can tell it's not a native app to the Google home and won't work. I may be missing something however, so your results may vary. You can cast to it from a phone, but again qobuz seems the weakest on that front.
