I could have sworn that prince's black album eventually got a "legit" release at some point but it's not available for streaming anywhere so maybe not? i was hoping that when they dumped all his stuff back on streaming sites they were gonna include the black album too...at least slsk is still around (i assume, i have barely used it since i joined spotify)

warner released the black album as one of his last contractually obligated LPs iirc. I know i bought it at sam goodys or something like that.

Is there a way to use the family plan in such a way that I can play raffi for my son while simultaneously listening to my own stuff from my own account? Or do I really need to register separate accounts and sign in separately, etc.
― Sufjan Grafton, Tuesday, 14 February 2017 17:30 (seven years ago) link
ha I have accidentally played stuff and irritated my son long-distance by being logged into Spotify in Boston while he was listening in the kitchen back home. my wife will text me, can you use your iTunes instead, aero jr. is listening to the Wiggles

It's strange that at one point it was officially released and now is oop and not even available to stream...gonna assume it was prince who personally put the kibosh on it, hopefully his estate will be kind enough to exploit his legacy and open the vaults
― musically, Tuesday, 14 February 2017 19:10 (seven years ago) link
It does stream on Tidal. It was only legitimately available for about a year, as a limited edition from 1994-1995.

Seems like very recently when an album or playlist is finished it now starts playing album or playlist radio. Don't mind this feature, but wondering when it got rolled out and if I can turn off if needed.

The same thing happened to me, it's really annoying. You can go to settings in the app (top right), choose playback then deselect Autoplay― badg, zondag 5 februari 2017 20:38 Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Tracklist of Cannonball Adderley's In Person is all messed up, seems to be a completely different album, perhaps a bonus disc of stuff unreleased on the original album, who knows.

Fired up spotify's web player tonight (my primary spotify source) and all of a sudden it welcomes me by saying 'To enjoy Spotify, please install Adobe Flash. It's free.'
Why yes, let me install the FREE and WONDERFUL and not remotely awful FLASH ~software~, as if it were the early 00's. This is the way forward, surely.

how many 2 year olds must have email addresses before this implementation of a "family plan" is fixed?

does anyone actually get push notifications on ios (or any notification) when an artist they follow has something added? I follow lana del rey and didn't hear a damn thing from spotify when her new track dropped a few days ago. I follow a lot of artists and when I went into my inbox (for the first time in months) to see if I missed the notification, it was empty. I checked and my iphone allows notifications from spotify, but even if it didn't there should notifications wi th in thr app, right? Just me or anyone else have this issue?

Thanks for getting the multiple Paul Williamses fixed, glenn.
The new Babaganouj EP that just went up has mismatched titles to tracks, for example track 1 ("Star") is actually track 2 and so on until you get to track 5, which is actually track 1. Not sure if that's fixable on your end or if it comes that way from the supplier.

Anyway, turned it off.
Tweeted Spotify Cares yesterday to see if I could exclude my daughters playlist (Katy Perry and other horrible shit like Katy Perry) from influencing my Daily Mixes and they said no. Also can't turn on incognito mode on Mobile. So frustrating.

Yeah, I'd love a way to turn off the algorithms temporarily. Since I listen to mellow stuff to go to sleep, my DW playlist has turned into all of this ambient stuff.

don't understand why spotify leans so hard into making everything you listen to public. I guess it came about during that period where every new app had to have a big social media element but it pretty clearly isn't used like that? I just wanna listen to podcasts without necessarily broadcasting that information to everyone who follows me for some reason
― qualx, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 18:46 (seven years ago) link
Tracer - not sure if that means private from the suggestion algorithms, or just from other Spotify users.
― DJI, Wednesday, 1 March 2017 19:11 (seven years ago) link
I like the social aspect of it... if anything I think it should be exploited more. One feature which I'd love is to invite people to do a collaborative playlist... right now anyone can get into collaborative playlists and delete and add anything regardless if you're friends with them or not. I want an invite only collab playlist option so playlists are curated by say, two or three users not every user out there.
You can turn off in settings the 'currently listening' option btw, leave it in private session. I like when my frienfs hace it in public tho, I have found many cool playlists thru it.
― dance cum rituals (Moka), Wednesday, 1 March 2017 20:00 (seven years ago) link
issue is that you have to start a new private session every time, like spotify is telling you you're doing it wrong but they'll let it slide THIS time. just let me turn it on permanently
also is it even available on mobile?

― Sufjan Grafton, Friday, 3 March 2017 18:54 (seven years ago) link
haven't had any issues with music randomly stopping. I've definitely had issues with searching. It's often either really slow or not working at all. I have to exit the app and open it again to get it working.
― silverfish, Friday, 3 March 2017 19:23 (seven years ago) link
You can't enable the private session mode from mobile though. At least I can't find the option. Almost all my listening is mobile or via Sonos.
