Wait what's the point of "offline mode" anyway? Like what does it even do? If you've got some tracks synced they'll play regardless of whether you're on or offline.

Offline Mode just lets you listen to your playlists even if you aren't connected to the internet. I've mainly used Offline Mode for long drives where there's no internet or cellular reception so I'll still be able to listen to stuff aside from the few things I have on my iTunes. I mostly use it on my phone, but the wifi at my house has not been working for some reason for like 2 weeks and my landlady still hasn't fixed it so I've just synced it all on my laptop now too.

Yeah, Offline mode is really useful for if you plan on being somewhere without wifi or 3G connections.

I'll have to try again when I go back to work this weekend. I definitely have 2 playlists synced onto my laptop. Hopefully it works this time.

Yeah but can't you just hit the little "available offline" slider in the playlist itself? Or does offline mode just sync all your playlists?

It only syncs the specific playlist that I hit the slider on. I have about 10 playlists all with 50+ songs so I'm choosing to experiment with only a couple right now.

For those looking to organize their playlists there is a "Playlist folder" option that exists. I usually make a playlist folder of the artist, throw all of their albums within that folder as seperate playlists and when you select the whole artist it sorts it alphabetically. It requires a bit more manual work but so far my spotify playlists are neatly organized by genre/artist and its made things much better.

OK so apparently I think the problem was that I needed to have "Offline Mode" selected under File. It worked which was awesome. But today I didn't have Offline Mode checked but it still worked. I think it also had to do with Spotify trying to sync all my songs over and over again while I was at school so that they were definitely synced by the time I got to work.

The thing that I'm finding odd about spotify atm is that on my pc desktop the in program apps work a treat but on my mac laptop they say they aren't installed so I can't access them. I haven't looked into it too much but it seems a little bizarre that they don't work

Here's the app list I use: Any Decent Music? Highlights well-reviewed music from various sources. It's an okay app, but has some repeated content found elsewhere. Classify This is my most recently installed app. It's a guide to classical music. You can explore by era, theme, and all sorts of other criteria. I also use Jazzify, which is obviously its counterpart for jazz. Hype Machine Culls seemingly random and poorly categorized content from music blogs. I never use this and I don't know why I haven't uninstalled it. Last.fm I just use this to keep track of what I listen to for e-peen waving. Occasionally I'll check out their recommendations based on what I listen to, as they're pretty good. KCRW Music Mine Highlights eclectic picks from KCRW, a southern California radio station. MusiXMatch Lyric generator. Pitchfork Pretty good for finding reviews from the well known site of the same name. Shuffler.fm Like Hype Machine, this pulls in content from music blogs. I use it more than Hype Machine because there will be occasionally interesting picks. TuneWiki Another lyric server. Tunigo Was a stand-in while Spotify didn't have a new release listing. This app was bought by Spotify, and now mirrors the official 'Browse' tab. I need to remove this app. Twitter #Music Pretty good music finder from Twitter. Has selections from various levels of obscurity and fame.

Does anyone else have trouble playing Spotify from an Android device to a Bluetooth speaker? The connection drops constantly - I can't tell if it's a Spotify issue or if my speaker is a lemon.

On spotify there is a song listed as Banger. - Single under Drake but there are no vocals and it doesn't sound like the kind of thing Drake would use. Can anyone clarify the origin of that track?

There is another artist called "Drake" and this was probably a mix-up.

The only issue I've encountered is that the volume will max out after a missed call, but no dropped connections.

Of course it doesn't show timestamps, but anyways.

Somehow loads of people miss this.

You can also listen to an unlimited amount of music on a tablet or phone with a free account now. You still get ads every couple of songs and mobile devices can only shuffle playlists, but it's still pretty drat nice. Especially since most countries with Spotify don't (didn't?) have a Free account with unlimited listening like the US has.

It's on the Windows and Mac versions, but they're doing their usual dumb "rollout" thing where some users get it before others.

The Spotify android app is generally pretty awesome (if you have Premium anyway) because poo poo yeah my own radio station without even using an internet connection but... It's really, intensely loving stupid that if you follow someone's Starred tracks and the "un-Star" a song, it doesn't remove it from your device.

Oh who cares about the new UI for the client, here, have a Spotify client that looks like Winamp. (only premium accounts supported, it was written by a Spotify employee so you can trust it even though it is not officially supported by Spotify)
