wtf is going on at spotify?
they keep handicapping their product, removing beloved features, haven't upgraded their apps in years...
is their leadership really this incompetent or; and i don't mean to go /pol/ on you, is there some sort of sabotage going on?
i see no media coverage of this.
What does the poor man's apple play have to do with politics?
i want the lyrics feature back...
>>55589739
apple play is shit tho
>>55589812
So is the other thing.
>>55589702
What features did they remove?
>>55589702
What feature they removed? I remember updating the app last week
I switched over to google play music last week because they were offering 4 free months. I miss the good desktop client but at least it's free
>>55589839
>>55589842
They recently removed music match lyrics and have been having issue with buffering music (endless "this song cannot be played" even if it is downloaded.)
>buy roku
>see that there's a Spotify app
>try it
>looks like it hasn't been updated in several years
Lazy fucks
Just block te spotify auto-update feature in your hostsfile
Just use bandcamp, wtf.

>just use something else!
Find me something more convenient than Spotify that offers basically everything I would want to listen to in 320kbps equivalent for $5 or less per month.
Piracy isn't as convenient.
>>55589702
I dropped them for google play music, mostly for podcasts... but it's nice to pick an artist>album>song now instead of five pages of bullshit to navigate anywhere.
Yo devs, see foobar2000 and clementine? That's how you design a fucking audio program. The music is right there, organized from top to bottom, you click what you want and it plays.
It ain't fucking hard!
>>55590087
How much money will those artist see from the 5$?

>>55590147

>streaming music
>>55590140
So basically nothing.
>>55589702
I just stopped using Spotify.
What is a good music player/library for Windows and Ubuntu?
>>55590130
>there are people on /g/ that listen to the exact same songs over and over and over again
Spotify is good for finding new music and it's accessible you cuck.
>>55590195
Nothing wrong with streaming on spotify. It's high enough quality free nevermind the paid version.
What's the matter?, do you have russia tier internet?
>>55590243
>What is a good music player/library for Windows and Ubuntu?
Clementine. It's the only one for Linux and Windows. There's also the Clementine Remote on Play Store.
For Windows Only, I would recommend MusicBee.
>>55590264
Fuck off, shilldick.
Spotify's radio feature sucks.
I should never hear KORN after MASTODON.
EVER
METAL isn't """""""METAL"""""""
>>55590285
Metal is shit tho.
There, I found your problem.
>>55589932
There's a really good desktop client out there that I use. It's more of a community thing and doesn't have offline playback but it's pretty good. http://www.googleplaymusicdesktopplayer.com/
>>55590272
I have music stored locally senpai, when I want to listen to something else, I download the album.
>>55590231
Who cares? I would pirate if Spotify wasn't more convenient.
>>55590343
Do you not care about the artists that create music you enjoy?
>>55590330
Take that back you piece of human garbage
>>55589702
> desktop app
> most of it is JavaScript
It was destined to be crap. Is there a single good application that does this?
>>55590351
I buy concert tickets when they come through and sometimes other stuff.
>>55590351
You do realise they make their nut on tours, not from record sales, right?
>>55590356
Nope. Metal is garbage for teenagers with long hair. The music is loud, shouty and sounds like a jumbled mess.
Literally ANY other genre is better than metal. Some 'rock' music is listenable though, casual ozzy stuff etc.
>>55590376
>everything that's not mainstream
>making "nut on tours"
>>55590285
Mastodon is """""""""metal""""""""
>>55590340
I listen to songs and not ablums. I guess I don't like downloading and listening to filler for the sake of it. Albums are for teenagers.
>>55589932
Spotify patcher exists. You're welcome
>>55590330

Found the queer

Queer without a sense of irony. Go listen to Katy Perry you shirt-lifting poofter.
>>55590553

Get back to your care home grandpa. I'm amazed you can even post on 4chins

Retard confirmed. Euthanasia for you is the only option.
>>55590603
Man, metal is such a good genre to listen too ;)
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST hahhaha
>>55590330
What a fag
metal sucks

Just read the lyrics of 90% of metal. It's childish.

When you reach 100 million users. Then you are ready to fuck them in ways they never imagined. It's what every app dev wants.
Spotify are really good at it.
>>55590130
I did this for many years, but it's so damn inconvenient. Having to choose the torrent on What.CD, wait for it to finish, synchronize my library, etc... I ended up exploring music on YouTube. Might as well spend a few dollars a month on Spotify. The constant cycle of short-lived hard drives got old too.
I still collect mp3's, but I don't think I'll ever use it as my primary music source again.
>>55589702
I just uninstalled it because it some how drains my battery idling in the background. Today I checked it and it was using 10% of my battery usage. Haven't used it in a month at least.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
>>55590119
is it really that much better?
I get Spotify for 5€ a month because I'm a student but I haven't seen any such option for Google Play Music. Is it still worth it? I'm in Germany so I wouldn't get YouTube Red with GPM
