Just found this thread and I have to vent about recent updates. 0.8.8 and 0.9 were super loving slow on my Air. Launching the app would be a 2 minute ordeal to see the new releases. Also not to mention the update where they cleared out my follow list of friends  I rolled back to 8.5 and it opens instantly again, and I have my album view and font. I love Spotify, but their recent decisions have all been terrible.

stupid puma posted:Ugh. The new Dillinger Escape Plan album only has two playable songs- the rest are grayed out. Talk about a day late and a dollar short... I like Spotify, but the lack of new content mixed with the perennially lovely iPhone app really has me rethinking the whole thing. Huh I thought it was all working? That was quick...

I got pissed and downgraded a few weeks back. Then the workaround to stop the program updating...stopped working. Do you know another workaround to stop upgrades on OSX 10.8.3? They got rid of ALBUM ART VIEW and changed the FONT and the entire layout the ALBUM PAGES. The recent versions took 5 MINUTES TO LOAD on a brand new Macbook Air when 0.8.5 starts up instantly. They also had the brilliant idea to remove everyone's followers and who they were following -- in lieu of "FOLLOW THIS ARTIST WHO ACTUALLY ISN'T USING SPOTIFY." I could give a rat's rear end about following artists on Spotify, I just want to follow and share with friends. Also I think they took out DRAG AND DROP SHARE. Their forums have exploded in rage, but that doesn't change anything. If Google All Access gets an iPhone app I'm 80% jumping ship since I'm that annoyed. I can't remember the last time I've been this angry at a company's decisions. I know they wanted to jump to HTML or whatever, but it can't be to the complete detriment of your software. It just can't. I won't even get into the mobile apps. Can I please just jump to the bottom of a playlist somehow...please! I'm going to die one day scrolling through a 200 song playlist while driving. PaganGoatPants fucked around with this message at 01:38 on May 31, 2013 |

nomapple posted:Since Spotify went through the massive layout change with the album pages and stuff, it seems to crash on loading around 50% of the time on my mac. I used to love it, because it was so quick and easy to use, but it seems to be becoming increasingly bloated. Frustrating really. Once Google releases an iOS app I'm gone. I just can't take the desktop app's crappiness anymore. I sound so bitter.

me your dad posted:New Music is a section for me (right now). They changed it a while ago to 'Discover', which was terrible. I saw lots of bitching on their feedback community. I had an update to the client a few weeks ago which brought back 'What's New'. My update yesterday gave me Discovery.

precision posted:I just want a way to randomize my Starred tracks and keep that randomized list order. I'm sick of putting it on Shuffle and hearing the same 30 songs out of 600 every single time. I don't know if their shuffler is just dumb or if it tries to play things it thinks you want to hear but either way it's horrible, there are huge chunks of the list that I've never had come up on shuffle. Just let me randomize it once and play through the whole thing in sessions. Don't think so

Mine keeps telling to restart to update. Constantly. No matter if I restart or not. Anyone else have that issue?

appropriatemetaphor posted: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. Downloads them to your PC so you can play them offline in their special Spotify format.

thathonkey posted:I know this is a Spotify thread but somebody was recently hyping up Rdio to me. When I asked how the library compares to Spotify, they weren't really sure. Does anyone here have a lot of experience with both and could give a quick compare and contrast? I'm more concerned with the breadth of catalogue than misc features. Rdio doesn't have a desktop program and I find their library isn't as large. The UI they have is nice though.

I star any song I like. The desktop and phone app now both have filter so it's easy to find anything I want to play. It's like a dynamic playlist.

appropriatemetaphor posted:So the updated ios player takes away the ability to just tap the album cover to get info (like if you want to quickly star something while driving), and makes you hit a tiny little info button instead... For gently caress's sake.  Lock screen isn't showing the correct song either. PaganGoatPants fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Apr 2, 2014 |

Blast Fantasto posted:The new iOS app is terrible. People have brought up the tiny buttons already, but it takes for loving ever to load the album art / info for a new song. Mine has also crashed a few times while the last version had no issues really. We can never have good things!

Blast Fantasto posted:My guess is that these buttons are less moronic looking on an iPad? I really have no idea. I have tiny, girlish hands and even I'm struggling to hit the right button to shuffle or pull up artist information. And there's no reason to have it as one vertical list with so much space on the right. The grid they had before was fine.

thathonkey posted:Who gives a poo poo if the app looks modern or not if you cant use it. I wrote a complaint to Spotify about the new iOS app and an actual human responded. He said theyve been inundated with complaints just like mine so hopefully it will be remedied in the next update... Months from now. Too bad you cant downgrade You mean YEARS from now. Didn't they annouce collections in 2012 or something? Are we ever going to get album view back?

Blast Fantasto posted:The visual lag when playing an offline playlist is brutal for when I'm working out. The new app has also hosed up the ability to control pause / play / skip from the iOS control panel. Yeah this is what I meant by the local files being all messed up. I haven't tried it in offline. Even for regular streaming it's laggy as hell. And if you try to skip forward while it's laggy it'll just crash.

Is there a quick way to add stuff to "your music?" Because I'll be damned if I'm going through starred songs to add albums manually.

Spotify guy says: "Yep, Your Music will contain all of your beloved playlists but start out empty otherwise. We did some testing and actually found that users preferred starting from scratch. Let me know if you have any other questions." What the gently caress.

inSTAALed posted:Wow, apparently there is a 10,000 song limit for this "Your Music" bullshit. What the gently caress is the point of that? The old starred list could be infinitely large and worked EXACTLY THE SAME WAY! Why call it Your Music if I can't save all of "My Music" to it. I am only halfway through what I had starred right now because of how time consuming they made the process of transferring this stuff to the new thing. I would just continue using starring to track my stuff, but they made it such a pain in the rear end to get to now. I knew something was up. God dammit. I thought stuff was just getting deleted in some bug. I have 29k on my starred list.

Blast Fantasto posted:I don't understand why collections, "starred" or "saved" music is such a big deal, so count me in that number. My only problem is the limit they put on it. Oh and also the difficulty/time it takes to populate "My Music." Really weird and buggy for me.

Zephyrine posted:I never bothered with spotify since it doesn't have half the songs I want to listen to while burning bandwitdh. The "Other alternatives" to free music still seems more appealing when I can just throw the albums on to the phone and listen to them as I please. If you have the album just add it local files. Boom it's on your phone. Best of both worlds.
