Spotify - anyone heard of it?

flag is also on Afternoon Acoustic, Pop Chillout, Acoustic Hits, Acoustic Morning....

yeah i think the, um, all the feels playlist must have existed prior and then the flag was put on to various playlists. it wasn't put on all of them though so some further discrimination might have been advised.

Not my department...

thanks for letting us know?

So this happened...

Glenn, I hope you know who made this and that you can put a turd in his/her lunchbox.

ha ha it's pretty dope actually

it's bc "the feels" are a cutespeak internet thing so matching it to the french flag is pretty tacky xp

Wish any playlist creator could see those sorts of analytics on a playlist-by-playlist basis

uh

so glad I generally don't do apps on my phone

landlines and CDs! Landlines and CDs! Who's with me?

wtf

better article, that previous link was more of a stub:

it does seem quite evil

http://www.wired.com/2015/08/spotify-clears-up-its-privacy-policy/

“Let me be crystal clear here: If you don’t want to share this kind of information, you don’t have to. We will ask for your express permission before accessing any of this data – and we will only use it for specific purposes that will allow you to customize your Spotify experience.”

In other words, these will enable opt-in experiences, something that Spotify regrettably neglected to mention when it first announced the changes. The app won’t go scanning for your photos, but it’s reserving the right to access them if and when you want it to.

outrageous!!!

the question is can i upload my dick pics to spotify

Sure, but you can't star them.

you can put a star in the pictures

Sure, but you can't star them.

I love how Jeff pops up every three months with a dig about starring.

he doesn't even know that they brought stars back!

Stars work fine in the Scottish version

wait what now?

sorry, it was a ~*goof*~

u r mean v v mean

curry about to be v v mean to my bulls

he's gonna do it for me. payback.

ex rdio user. spotify is very bad, isn't it?

on ios is there any way to make the big green "shuffle play" button on an album page be just "play"? or do i have to click on track 1 to play the album in order?

also spotify connect doesn't seem to work reliably. i can transfer from iphone to ipad ok, but my computer often doesn't show up. if it does the "connection" between the spotify sessions seems to drop when i try to transfer.

never had any real problem using spotify

experience so far is that it's as bad as itunes without the excuse that it's 15 years old and trying to do 30 different things

except spotify is a streaming service and itunes is not

ok it's as bad as microsoft word without the excuse that it's 30 years old and trying to do 45 different things

it's a mess

that's a fair comparison, spotify is actually a much worse word processor than word, they kind of dropped the ball there

every time i start spotify on my phone it says "spotify is offline. go online for a world of music!" or some shit. always with full bars on 3G or 4G. after 20 seconds or so it usually figures it out. seems kind of basic.

it's not perfect perhaps but generally i just press play on things and they play. or search for things and save them then play them. i'm not sure what other functionality is needed.

the one bug that annoys me is it fucks up on your iphone when you leave a wifi zone to go into 3g or 4g.

This is why slsk is still going strong, it didn't change.

i don't know what kind of fancy things you're trying to do, caek. it works fine if you just do things like search for an artist, select an album, press play, make a playlist, add songs to it, fart..

do large offline libraries still lag?

that's a fair comparison, spotify is actually a much worse word processor than word, they kind of dropped the ball there

my point was that i wasn't trying to say spotify is like itunes in that it plays music, my point is that it's like itunes in that it's complicated, inconsistent and apparently buggy in the way massive old apps get given enough time.

well, bugs schmugs, it's plenty more than usable for me,

yeah seems a minority take

exactly, I've definitely had times when the bugs in spotify were extremely frustrating, but the versions I run on my pc and phone right now work very smoothly. I get that other examples of buggy software exist as well, but I don't understand comparing one to the other when they perform very different functions.

the problems i have so far (one week in) are the two above (i.e. a core feature simply doesn't work, and playing an album in order on ios is weird from a UI pov)

there's also the fact that my "offline devices" are not listed in the offline devices section of my account so i can't manage them, that it thinks i am in australia, that when you create a new account it makes all your itunes playlists public by default without asking you; that there's no way to undo this except making them all private one by one, or deleting them all, that there's no way to bulk delete playlists on the desktop;, that what happens when you delete a folder of playlists on the desktop is different from what happens when you do so on ios (in a way that guarantees data loss if you don't know about it)

... and when you report bugs to them they suggest you post on the community board and add them to their "ideas wall" so see if other people upvote them as feature requests

but yeah it plays music so give these guys a turing award imo

i think people are just saying "it works and it plays music" because it is hard to understand what else it is supposed to do. i can't think of anything i've tried to do with spotify that it failed to do.

idk most software is total shit, i have very low expectations in general

give or take i think it works p well, it syncs well with other devices that i have - easy search and browse. it's hardly at itunes or ms word level.

I just deleted my Facebook page and now I can't get into spotify. Any advice?
