so you can have them markers!

skrillex is your favorite band

daniel ek knows you better than you know yourself

i was more upset about the xx and lana del rey

the last fm app is waaaaaaaaaay better

that seems like a company without a future but it's been here for a while and it's still around so

last.fm is great.

i just got this update. it says people are "following" me who haven't received the update. kinda strange.

the last fm app is waaaaaaaaaay better

no, the last.fm app on spotify is better at recommending than the new spotify feature

I got this today. Cheeky fuckers.

wow they know you so well!

I had no idea personal recommendations had been rolled out yet.

I just also subscribed to Mog. In large part bc they have the ECM catalog, which for me is no small deal.

Spotify doesn't seem to understand the whole point of recommendations is to introduce you to unfamiliar music you'd probably like based on what you listen to, not stuff that's all over the radio that you already know

if you've had spotify installed on your iphone since upgrading from iOS4 you might wanna uninstall it and reinstall again from the app store. have a feeling i'd been running the older version for iOS4 for ages when i could have had this slick new version!

They just released the Spotify app for my Samsung TV in the US, woo!

weirdly, for about a day this weekend, the whole pink floyd discography was available on spotify (the remasters)....now it's gone again....

but i listened to obscured by clouds on my phone you can't take that away from me

All still available on Mog.

Got the update today and now search seems helluva slow and clicking on artist link from search results doesn't do anything. Anyone else having problems?

Yeah search is bollocksed and the new interface is weird.

been slow for a while. Since I got my new laptop for xmas Spotify takes about 5 mins to load up too

I'm not in love with the new iPhone interface, I don't really like having the little play strip at the bottom of the screen come up by default instead of the full screen view and it seems like my playlist are taking much longer to load.

oh things are waaaaay faster for me, i have iphone 4. i did wipe the app and reinstall from scratch tho.

I haven't noticed any speed differences, but I do hate the new artist and album pages.

The stupid fucking app still just stops playing for some reason. I don't pay $10 a month to be a beta tester for spotify.

you've tried re-installing it? that fixed any glitches i've had. i usually have about 10gb synched offline and i've got about 1000 playlists; this is the first version of the app where it seems comfortable with that...

offline mode kinda useless when it randomly decides you need to log in again

i'm sure you thought of this but if you share the subscription with someone else and they start to use it while you're already using it, it will cut you off

Yeah, we don't share, Carl and I have separate accounts.

Hate the new desktop version. Slower, bloatier (it blipped up to 790k yesterday), looks worse, and I've lost total playlist times and follower lists for my playlists.

Dropping the playlist times seems particular dopey to me. Now I edit my playlists in Rdio and then just mirror them in Spotify when I'm done.

Thanks for the warnings guys. Not updating til I get an all-clear. Playlist total times is essential!

how do I get spotify to stop looking like itunes, I liked the dark grey

wrong thread viceroy,lol

lol sorry wrong thread

yeah, reboot is hella buggy

New version sucks. You can reinstall the last older version from filehorse, but it's just going to auto-update next time you launch it.

Man, that's Spotify and iTunes that I'm having to hold back on.

Unlike iTunes, Spotify auto-updates. The next time you close the program and restart it, you'll be stuck with the new version.

(On the desktop app, at least. Mobile might still be optional.)

I haven't noticed any changes on Spotify?

If not now, you'll see them soon.

I just played around with Rdio for a little bit, but it's still worse than Spotify.

I just rebooted Spotify to see these terrible changes and I see nothing different, either

Mainly, they changed the way the social aspect works (you have to follow people now...ungh), but they also toyed around with the functionality of the layout. Artist and album pages are completely different now, along with minor changes to playlist pages—NONE of which are an improvement.

Huh, maybe my work firewall is blocking the update? I still see nothing different in any of those areas, although admittedly I rarely actively use the social aspect and all of my playlists/queuing is behaving exactly as I'd expect.

crashing a lot lately, or failing to boot up :/

I don't have much use for the social aspect of it either, but that seems to be the major push of this update (and people who do use it aren't thrilled). Mainly, I just hate the white backgrounds and the inability to choose between versions of albums on the artist pages (like, maybe I don't always want to listen to a deluxe edition if the regular edition is also available).
