I hate that they don't seem to have categories for new releases. They need the general new release list, and then allow you to pick categories.

I don't think Apple Music is any better. I'm on Apple Music now and iTunes doesn't even work on Windows machines with DPI scaling enabled. There are literally buttons and scroll bars that go off the screen so you can't interact with it.

Needless to say, I'm moving back to Spotify after my month ends.

I don't use Apple and have no intention to, so I can't really commend on it's technical side. I'm fine with Spotify Premium, I have just a few technical grips with it.

Ctrl + - decreases font size. Wish I'd known this sooner... Well, that's one out of three complaints down.

I wish they'd reimplement old features first. Artist page used to be divided into three categories: Albums, Singles and Featured on, from newest to oldest in their respective categories. "Featured on" albums showed all the tracks but highlighted only the tracks featuring the artist. In one of these UI updates they took it out and never bothered to reimplement it. Now there's a bunch of albums on the bottom where I have to click on each one and find the actual tracks. Sounds small, but before I was able to see Spotify's whole library of any given artist on one page.

Third wish is a small selection of themes...

One addition I would LOVE to see (and have been pretty vocal about via Twitter) is when I'm listening in Private Mode, don't include those songs in my Discover section. Sometimes my son wants to listen to the "The Wheels on the Bus" over and over or sometimes I want to fall asleep to ambient piano music.

My Discover Weekly has been garbage for months because of this. I don't want Spotify to recommend me songs based on edge case listening scenarios, but they do and it's really frustrating.

The one thing that is bothering me the most is that if you use SHUFFLE on a artist that about %85+ of it is the last 2 albums. Really annoying because most of the time a 'new' album is just a remix version of a classic album of the artist/band..

I would like to see a 'real' shuffle function, not one that prioritize new albums!

This is a good one too. I often just put my saved music on shuffle and it always seems to stick to within a hundred songs closest to the first one I started, so often it's my most recently saved songs. That's dumb. I want to listen to the whole breadth of my library.

Cool! I actually worked with her for a store opening in Seattle last year. She was very nice. Good for her!

Nice! Yeah she's definitely such a good vibe kind of gal. The fact that she's expanding into her own songs is so dope cause she has that major dj following that people will go to.

as far as your other post Fudge I can only say that the thing i've been wanting out of Spotify since a while ago is for it's iOS-only features to be available on Android

it's kinda frustrating to be paying as much as iOS users for the service but to not have those features equally

but im sure that's a common sentiment that everyone there knows about

I assume it's being worked on or considered but I wish I could save my Daily Mixes and keep them for offline listening.

I have this weird issue where I can't see any singles on my phone. Like the album group is there for each artist, but singles is just gone.

Yet on my tablet boom every thing is there.

Weird as fuck.

I love that we can change the playlist descriptions and cover images. It's going to make my profile look cool.

Man the recommended songs feature is busted, made a playlist with hardcore punk and it keeps suggesting funk and radio pop.

So, does the Last.fm integration just not work for Local Files on the iOS app? I can scrobble Local Files from the OSX app just fine, but they aren't registering from my iPhone (normal songs in Spotify's library do scrobble from my phone).

Something is wrong with Spotify on my Moto X (2nd gen). It just doesn't let me play my music offline, unless I'm connected to the internet (even though the music is properly downloaded).

It keeps trying to connect to the internet and even shows a message saying I'm not connected. Does anyone here know why this is happening? This is recent, as I've never had a problem a month ago.

Did you try going to settings and turning "Offline" on? It should work without doing this, but maybe an update broke it.

The new Spotify update is interesting. I like that it works better with Windows 10's media controls

Still no lyrics though.

Hey a Spotify thread. Complaint- why does it play the same 20 songs when I have over a hundred in my play list? Is there no way it can know not to play that song it just played 20 minutes ago?

My Daily Mix has just disappeared. Been using it fine and then gone. Tweeted Spotify support who replied saying the amount of mixes depends on how much I listen and diversity of music. Riiiight.

Spotify really messed up the android app. Everything was working fine, now the widget is messed up and everytime I disconnect my headphones the music keeps playing and some other minor things. Is it so hard to get some good software developers?

Anyone else having their daily mixes play the same songs everyday?

Like there's a mix that will only play 1 judas priest song "painkiller". It will jumble the songs every day, but alot of it is the same day to day and will only offer at most 5 songs from a particular band.

Same. On top of that, sometimes I don't have Spotify on the notification bar so in order to skip a song I need to enter app.
Not sure if it's a Nougat problem specifically.

This has been a problem for years, literally from the start. I doubt they'll be fixing this problem soon

Daily Mixes are still crap for me. Same songs for the most part every day, maybe a few will change and that's it. Hardly a daily mix.
