Is there a spotify remote that isn't terrible? I'd like to plug my laptop into the stereo and use my iphone to control what plays so I don't have to get up and walk over to the computer all the time.

I ended up snagging this: http://www.spotremote.com/ It gives you access to your playlists and you can search (no related artists though bummer). I think you do have to have premium for it to work for whatever reason. How do you folks organize your songs? I'm just coming off iTunes and I used smart playlists to basically do "stuff that's new" "stuff I've listened to a lot recently" etc...With spotify it looks like it's all manual...

I got a really good deal on the car, otherwise I would have insisted on an input or USB jack. Something like Spotify on my iPhone while driving, especially with dictation would make driving an absolute dream. Yeah serious. I'm stuck burning discs like a chump.

isomerc posted:They never seem to work. Also, I'm kind of an audio perfectionist. If I'm 45 minutes into a mix and it skips right at a crucial part, I'd throw it out of the window. I mean I'm open to try a decent one, since the ones I've used are all lovely Walmart ones. Any suggestions? They usually sound like rear end too. Like a radio I guess.

Admin Understudy posted:I wish it would display your listening trends in a more readable way, something more akin to last.fm. Clearly it records the same type of data but the only spot I know where I can check it is Facebook and it does a terrible job of cataloguing the music I listen to. You can just tell it to remove the Shins from your library. Mine was like that for a while because I listened to Rilo Kiley nonstop for some reason. I wish your play queue was shared between computers...

How often do your top artists/songs get updated? Because my top artist and all my top songs have been Grimes for like forever and I'm pretty sure I dont listen to her *that* much.

Does anyone's Spotify just totally poo poo out at random? It'll sound like the song is buffering a whole ton even though my internet is fine.

me your dad posted:I got an update for the Spotify channel on my Roku 2 just now. I opened the channel, hoping for new features, and it promptly rebooted my Roku. Hopefully it fixes its propensity to play like, 1 second of a song...pause...1 second...pause...until you unplug the Roku and plug it back in.

http://open.spotify.com/user/appropriatemetaphor/starred It's mostly stuff that's like vaguely beachy, shoegazey, and girls as singers. I use it in the car and on the bike as my go to rando list. Edit: Why does it only show 30? I have like 400 something in the reality. appropriatemetaphor fucked around with this message at 08:04 on Aug 4, 2013 |

Pavement would have a smell though, some next order playlist generation. But yeah I just toss everything into starred, or "PUT ON PHONE" for stuff I want to listen to in the car or walking around or whatever.

The Modern Leper posted:This is why I still use itunes and rely on streaming services as try before you buy option. They don't give you any meaningful way to manage the music you star, which means you're just playing from oceans of varying sizes. I just kinda look up bands I want to listen to, as if my "library" is just the whole of spotify. But I kinda tend to listen to whole albums in a go.

Dangerous Mind posted:How does the Offline Mode work exactly and can I use it when I have no internet connection? For example, I set one of my playlists to Offline Mode on my laptop, let the ~100 tracks sync, but when I get to work and start up Spotify and try to listen to that play list (no internet connection there) none of my songs are available to listen to. What gives? It sounds like you're downloading the songs to your laptop, and then expecting them to magically appear on some random other computer that has no internet connection? And yeah premium is great just for the ability to download stuff to your phone and use in the car and on the metro and stuff.

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.

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?

Rexides posted:There is another artist called "Drake" and this was probably a mix-up. Yeah Spotify constantly shoves artists of the same name together. I love getting the "hey some group you like has a new track!" message, and then I play the song and it's not what I expected at all!

Tried Rdio out briefly, I like the Collections thing and the mobile ap looks nicer. Buuut, I searched for a few bands and one was missing entirely, another had only the latest album, and the last was missing a couple eps. So yeah I guess the library is smaller for like, less popular more recent bands? This is based on like, a couple minutes of searching though and may not hold true for someone else's bullshit indie bands.

bpower posted:Is it possible to switch between bit rates while listening to a song? Relating to this, if you have streaming bit rate set higher than the download one, will the higher streaming bit rate override when you're on wifi? I have dl set lower to save space,,,

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...

Skeezy posted:So my partner just put it simply for me "Spotify just wants your music to look like it would in iTunes or something" Yeah I don't get why they took starring out. I used my starred list mostly for the car where I want a string of "stuff I like" for forever. I mean you can still add thing to the playlist, but it's just not the same.

I have the mac version and I have the import button. I'm .9.10.14.g578d350b though. It can take a sec to come up sometimes, like it has to load who knows what.

Manatee Cannon posted:I'm the same. I like having access to a bunch of stuff I've never even heard of before. Obviously that would still happen in Amazon's service, but it wouldn't be as frequent. The discover feature is kinda garbage sometimes but I still like having it for when it actually does send cool stuff your way. Hook up last.fm.

It's got its problems, like sometimes it goes to the next song but there's no sound. So you have to restart the song then it works. Other than that I don't have any complaints.

Manatee Cannon posted:I think you can only do shuffle play on phones? It's always done that for me, anyway. The dumbest thing is when you want to listen to a playlist with less than 20ish songs, then Spotify just adds poo poo of it's own accord. Plus you can't listen to the stuff from Your Music and sometimes it hiccups when your connection fluctuates and stops for minutes at a time unless you just restart your phone. The phone app can be kinda bad in general, really. You can definitely listen to your my music albums and playlists in the correct order, you sure you don't just have shuffle on?

How does spotify decide what your "most listened to" albums are? Like it seems like stuff I listen to a whole ton isn't at the top...
