Spotify - anyone heard of it?

spotify:track:49UBmvRSxLa2Oq6HkYKovK

available to me (in the US)

Yeah, our office internet goes through a vpn, but I've never encountered this problem before. So odd.

That one appears to be available everywhere except Asia. So, um, is your VPN secretly Malaysian?

It's not a huge deal. I'll just chalk it up to a freak computer thing no one will ever figure out. I logged out and logged back in, didn't make a difference.

perhaps unbeknowst to you your neighborhood/building has declared itself a soverign nation thus exempting it from US Spotify restrictions

björk keeping her new album off spotify doesn't seem to have got half the attention that t-swift did, it seems to be for much the same reasons though

I assumed it was because the album hasn't technically been released yet? (e.g. it's still pre-order on Amazon)

This is kind of weird: Eric Trip's Forever Again (1994) is on Spotify (U.S.), but only the first 11 (of 18) tracks, and the track titles have been replaced with those from the album A Different Arrangement (2012) by Black Marble.

I can get that fixed!

Cool, thanks!

Anyone else have all their playlists reset to secret after the latest update with the big UI changes? Bah

Hey, what happened to the option to view unplayable tracks? I put those in playlists because sometimes they become playable later on! Bring it back!

Oh, nm. I glanced right over it. Carry on.

Shit! Clicking the "Close" X now shuts down the application instead of minimizing it. Will have to retrain my mouse hand.

Also, the flatness of the new UI is lame. Save that for the browser version. I like just a little more definition in the desktop version.

Problems I've had with the new update, within the first few minutes. I'll start with the ones that are only mildly annoying.

1. All my previously public playlists have defaulted to secret. Presumably, I'm going to have to manually reset each one back to public?

2. The "show unavailable tracks in playlists" option, which I'd set to On, has been switched back to Off. I've now set it back to On again in Edit-Playlists.

3. I can no longer add new playlists in the middle of my list of playlists, depending on where I'm positioned - they only appear right at the start of the list, then I have to drag them down to where I want them.

4. The notifications don't display. You touch the little bell and wait forever.

The next ones are maddening.

5. If I sort a playlist by Song/Artist/Album, I can no longer reposition myself within that list by typing the letter(s) that I want to jump to. This means for long playlists, I've got to do a lot of manual scrolling.

6. I can no longer drag tracks from iTunes into playlists, WTF?!

4 will go away if you close and reopen

or it did for me anyway

thrilled that close button now closes the application

Not me. I've already accidentally closed it 4 times.

7. You can no longer display all the tracks from playlists within a folder, by clicking on the folder name.

4 will go away if you close and reopen

Just tried that, and yes, notifications now OK.

this is running much faster for me after I closed and reopened as well

8. You can no longer adjust the width of columns. So, for example, if you want to view a long song title, you have to click through onto the album name to read it in full.

9. Song now playing no longer appears when you hover over the icon in the taskbar.

10. I can't star songs anymore.

Oh wait.

x doesn't close my app but i think i have the latest update

re playlist privacy it turns out they were still public (and viewable on your profile page to others) but the setting when right-clicking on them in the playlist menu doesn't seem to reflect this

The whole not seeing the contents of playlists when click on a folder sucks. Was a good way to get around the playlist limitations.

I'm sad that Spotify apps are gone. Feel like someone should fill the void (maybe they already have)?

i believe the plan for the post-app world is to make profile pages "richer", so that, say, Blue Note can have all their albums available via their profile page, presumably in some easily navigable way

I liked the PFork app (yeah yeah) and the Playlists.net app.

Unable to tweet a playlist - clicking icon just showed me connection settings in a new pop-up.

No content in new notifications box when clicked, just the spinner icon forever.

11. Spotify logo now a red hexagram

haha

Clicked LYRICS but it just said

"Well this is embarrassing...It happens to everyone once in a while..."

but those are not quite the lyrics of what I was listening to

each side of this album is marked wrong:

I'm having trouble adding tracks to playlists — restarting fixes this temporarily but the problem comes back within minutes. Also dragging+dropping and scrolling is extremely sluggish and buggy (as is nearly everything else).

This is the worst update I've experienced yet! Just appalling. Anyone know how to restore it back to an older version?

I don't have problems adding individual tracks to playlist, but I can't seem to add a group of tracks.

This might work: http://www.oldversion.com/windows/spotify/

This seems to involve a few steps, but maybe try this as well: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-and/TUT-3-11-2015-How-to-downgrade-and-block-auto-updates/td-p/1045170

my only complaint about the update is that the Local Files tab still exists but you can no longer search it (tho apparently searching in the main search bar is much better now at bringing up local albums). Local Files tab tho is now totally worthless - what are you going to do? scroll down until you find the album you're looking for?

I still miss being able to star songs. Every day. I cry myself to sleep at night just thinking about it.

The trick from the Spotify forum seems to be working. I've got the old version back and it's not forcing an update.

this is also annoying because I tend to sort it by date added so that I can get the newest stuff into my lists, but I don't think you can sort it that way any more

I re-installed an old version today, with that little read-only filename trick. That latest update was the final straw - it should never have been released.

the new weird thing is that the whole window flashes when I delete a song. It feels like I'm physically hurting my playlist.

got the old version working. happy again.

this new version is pr good for me. especially since I enabled 'no bugs mode' in the preferences.
