The Complete Collection sounded really cool, until I saw they only had about a dozen different artists up and running with it.

I'm still debating on whether to get the premium service. Can I hook this up to my stereo system without a Squeezebox Touch (Ughhh I have the previous generation Squeeze which is not compatible).

You can try premium free for 30 days to see what it's like: http://www.spotify.com/freetrial/ Just be sure to cancel before the 30 days are up if you don't want it or you'll be billed. I'm in the middle of my free 30 days of premium and I've decided I'm not going to continue with it beyond the trial cause it doesn't work all that great on my phone (it cuts out a lot for no reason even though streaming from other services like Pandora, Google Music, etc. works just fine). dik-dik fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Mar 28, 2012 |

I don't use the app on my phone because I can't control that from my computer. Instead, I have Airfoil installed on my computer and I use that to stream to my phone which has Airbubble. There's a slight delay but that doesn't really matter for my purposes.

Is there somewhere that keeps track of things coming and going from Spotify? I just went to listen to Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted, and it's totally gone I know it used to be up, and they've still got two other Pavement albums up but not that one.

HOOOOLY poo poo. Did anyone of you know this? If you swipe a track on the iPhone app, you get the ability to queue it, add it to a playlist without playing the song first and go directly to the album or artist of the song. This rules.

Speaking of apps if you ever look at lyrics tunewiki is invaluable. The whole being synced with a song is pretty great. The moodagent app is cool, but I have not used it enough to see how well it creates and judges a songs mood. Thanks to this thread I am checking out Filtr which I already like much better than Spotify's own radio.

Bunk Rogers posted:Anyone else trying MOG as well? I'm torn between the two and need to be swayed one way or the other. Please, someone save me $10. After Rhapsody hosed up the way last.fm gets info from them I was forced to try another service. I had stuck with Rhapsody because they had the best library of all of them. So I did a month of Spotify and Mog. The library on Spotify is utter poo poo compared to Mog (which I found actually rivals Rhapsody), and the iPhone app for Spotify is completely unusable in the way that I need it to be. Spotify doesn't have an iPad app either, I hear, but Mog has one. From my tests the library on the services goes: Rhapsody > Mog >> Rdio > Spotify I'm going to give Rhapsody the nod, but just by a tiny, tiny bit here. I haven't found much at all missing on Mog, so it's right up there. I ran a test of my albums of the year last year at one point and found something like 25/29 on Rhapsody, 22/29 on Mog, 20/29 on Rdio, and 12/29 on Spotify. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I do remember Spotify being painfully bad in that regard. For sound quality: Mog (320kbps for everything) > Spotify (I guess they just converted to all 320kbps for the desktop... mobile is a bit less) > Rdio (they don't actually say what their kbps is, but it's alright) > Rhapsody (if you're on a PC or have an android the quality is 192 I think, and they have a HQ option, but if you're on a mac or have an iPhone the quality was something like 128... pretty bad) For apps (on iphone): Mog > Rhapsody >>> Spotify (I haven't used Rdio's iphone app, so I can't rank it) I suppose I have to admit Spotify's app isn't completely awful if you listen to things only in playlist form. If you listen to more albums and want to search a built up library or something you're SOL on Spotify. Music discovery: Spotify (the apps like last.fm are pretty neat, though you can just use those on your own) > Rdio = Mog (I haven't used Rdio a ton, but I heard they've got a good music discovery thing going on.. sounds like close to what Mog offers) > Rhapsody

They're the same price $10 a month. MOG's library is larger but it does not allow you to add unavailable songs to your playlists from your own library like Spotify does. Also MOG has an app for the iPad which is what convinced me to try it several weeks ago. Also, playlists are available and searchable through the app, unlike Spotify, but they behave weird. If you choose a specific song from the playlist it appears to queue up a radio station based on that song rather than continue with the playlist like it should. One change I noticed with Spotify's app over the last few weeks is that there are now three options of music quality. Low, High and Extreme. They don't assign a number value, that I've found, so it could mean anything. edit: Another thing I noticed last night. MOGs PC application has built in Airplay. The only way I could figure out to do Airplay with Spotify was to run it from my phone. Bunk Rogers fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Apr 10, 2012 |

If it's red, it's on, and you probably have it set to artist only radio. That's why. Click it so it's grey and off, and then it'll play the playlist from where you clicked it.

Well, decided to try out Mog for a month and I don't think I'm going to be switching back to Spotify. They have a better library (for the most part) and the favorites system actually works better than the playlist system did in Spotify (thanks to there not being playlist folders in the Android app) to keep track of albums that I want to have easy access too. The fact that there's a native iPad app helps a lot too. Maybe I'll switch back to Spotify if they ever get the Android app working properly and get an iPad app out, but right now it's looking doubtful.

Does Mog support playlist folders/nested playlists? I started mucking with the free trial thing and the web interface, but can't figure that out.

It doesn't look like it, no. That's one thing that it doesn't have over Spotify, but I personally only ever used playlists to make things like "here's the playlist of an album, and it is within the playlist folder of the artist." And with how they have the favorite system here set up, I don't have to do that anymore.

Just a warning, the current version of MOG's iPhone app is absolutely the buggiest piece of iOS software I have ever used. It crashes a lot, it's really slow, and when you navigate to your favorites, queue, or playlists it'll show those of another, apparently random, user but not your own. The service is great in a browser or using the desktop application, but the iPhone app is completely and utterly useless in it's current state.

Simmer down. I want an iPad app too, but the fact that they've improved the Android version like this certainly means they've got an iPad version coming, because that new Android app looks an awful lot like the photo of an iPad running a Spotify app one of the devs posted on Instagram. The Android app added related artists, which is something I've really been missing from the desktop app.

The last few times I've opened Spotify, there has been a commercial playing in the background. It doesn't look like it's coming from any specific section of the client window and it will still play even if I'm playing music. Is this happening to anyone else, because it annoys the piss out of me even though it's like 15 seconds long.

The last time they even mentioned an iPad app was well over a year ago now, I believe. I can't wait for some Spotify alternatives to come out in Europe. The new Android app still doesn't have any folder support. Come on, how hard can that be?

sweek0 posted:The last time they even mentioned an iPad app was well over a year ago now, I believe. Lacking folder support is my biggest gripe, even though they are supposedly adding it in. It is such a common complaint that i'm shocked it wasn't included from the beginning of the new app development. I'm not a huge fan of the new interface and having it filled with a barf of 50+ playlists is particularly annoying and makes the app feel more like a re-skin than a re-design. And there is no lock-screen widget, notification bar controls, and still no loving landscape mode support. I do like that you can add tracks and albums into a play queue, however that play queue is then invisible because as far as I can tell you can't see a track listing of what is in your queue. I just get the feeling that they got blindsided by the blast of (entirely deserved) negative publicity over just how lovely the old app is (particularly for anyone using ICS) and are rushing this out as fast as possible. The new app is an improvement for sure but is it missing critical features that people have been bitching about for a year. Mog is looking mighty tempting. I'd already be trying it out if it didn't require a facebook account to sign up. edit: Turns out there is a hidden link so you can sign up without one: http://mog.com/user/register Shifty Pony fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Apr 25, 2012 |
