Question How good/bad do we think Spotify Wrapped will be this year?

0 Upvotes

Do you think they’ll take the constructive criticism about the slop-esque classifications and presentations or will it be even more corporate and uninspired? On top of Spotify’s inaccurate logging, I would like to see the addition of seeing the artists name under you top 5 songs chart, that way it can easily be referenced. I’m surprised they haven’t implemented that

Question How did bf's ex suddenly appear in his messages on Spotify?

0 Upvotes

We were listening to his spotify and I went to check our shared songs on his phone but I noticed his ex's profile under "Messages". It appears they didn't send eachother anything new but I'm sure her name wasn't shown before. He says it was there always but I'm sure it wasn't. We didn't even have spotify chats here when they were together. Does this mean he recently-ish entered her profile or clicked her spotify link on other apps?

I tried to enter shared songs from me and my ex friend's whatsapp chat but she didn't appear under my spotify messages.

Rant speed changer added to spotify but no pitch change??

in my opinion there’s no point in adding a speed changer to songs without pitch change. keeping the pitch makes the songs sound horrible and it’s only the song, not global. they need to change this.

Question Does anyone here romanticize the recommendation system?

0 Upvotes

Like any streaming service, Spotify is hella unethical. And as a service, I don't like the inconsistent releases of updates and their subsequent quality.

However, I find it cool how my listening habits can lead to someone finding one of their fave songs.

Windows App Spotify closing when i play music in lossless

3 Upvotes

I was listening today. Suddenly (in desktop) Spotify shut down automatically. I tried restarting, the app is working fine but the moment i tap play the application closes itself. I wasn't able to figure out what was happening. I did a clean reinstalled it was working and then i turned on lossless (i was automatically set to automatic streaming) and then it again started crashing

This is not fair. I'm paying extra for lossless streaming and i cannot use it

Question What is going on?!

2 Upvotes

Over the last week I’ve been playing white noise at night. It’s a ten hour playlist and a few nights in a row a podcast would interrupt and start playing at around 7AM. I unfollowed the podcast and it stopped. Then it happened on my husbands phone. Tonight Spotify interrupted my white noise loop twice once at 1 and 5 am with podcasts I am not subscribed to. What is going on?!

Rant The anxiety of opening Spotify after a situationship ends.

0 Upvotes

Spotify just isn't the same for me anymore. The app has become a constant reminder of him, and honestly, just opening it gives me anxiety. Lesson learned: never share a music space with someone or make music sharing your love language, because it completely sucks when things end. Now, every single song feels like a reminder of him. Kahit i-block mo pa sa Spotify, makikita mo pa rin account niya. Di gaya sa ibang app na out of sight, out of mind.

Question Does anyone still using the old Spotify desktop UI have a broken search page?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I've been sticking with the last version of the old UI for a couple of years now because I hate the new layout and in the last two weeks or so, whenever I try to search for anything, the search page just "crashes" and gives me an error on every page until I click reload. The shortcuts Cmd + K to quick search still works.

I know I could just update but I just wanted to see if anyone else holding out on this version (1.2.13) is having this problem or if it something on my end

Android Spotify becoming increasingly unstable and difficult to use with tons of unnecessary features to boot - Alternatives?

85 Upvotes

I've been using Spotify for a long time and was always satisfied with the service. It was a neat application and the algorithms and suggestions were even very good, I've discovered tons of artists and branched out a lot more. Naturally, there are lots of curated playlists that I cobbled together in my 9 years with the app.

Since months, the application has been acting up quite a bit with long delays, a distinct lack of responsiveness and overall just being very laggy. It doesn't help that the android app is bloated as hell with all these unnecessary features that nobody asked for. As a user, you're constantly victim of some bullshit shoved in your face. It's become so difficult to navigate and everything is clogged up with random stuff.

As a whole, I feel not in control anymore and it's becoming so cumbersome. The algorithm feels also out of hand and the sub price kept increasing.

Despite trying out commonly suggested fixes, my app still keeps being awful to control. Not even taking into consideration the controversies of Spotify into account, I just think that I want to switch to a better service that actually is making me feel like a user that enjoys listening to music.

There are some aspects though that are important to me.

  • Being able to export/import existing Spotify playlists as I have amassed a huge library of artists that I saved left and right.
  • A service that is mostly just focused on music with a rich library that should ideally also have some sort of algorithim to suggest new artists in a same genre.
  • Customization for playlists and organizing the stuff you listen to

Any thoughts on this?

Windows App Desktop app crashes when I try to play specific songs

1 Upvotes

It is a bit annoying that my listening is randomly interrupted, but it will probably go back to normal after some time. I have tried playing the songs directly and queuing them up but it still crashes. It is a little funny i think

Songs I can't play (that I know of):
Africa - TOTO
Rosanna - TOTO
Roundabout - Yes
Livin' Thing - ELO
Wah-Wah - George Harrison. The entire album actually

Question songs have been deleted from my Spotify playlist??

1 Upvotes

so today when I was listening to my Spotify playlist, I was confused to why it was repeating the same 10 songs considering the fact that I had more than 200 songs in my playlist , I see my playlist and kid you not I have ONLY 22 songs in it. I don't know how that happened. I don't know why ?? is there a reason for this to happen ? like I have not deleted a single song , I have not used any third-party app. I haven't done anything. and this isn't even a new playlist. I've had it for more than five years?? I just found it today with only 22 songs in it ?? thankfully I had the same playlist in YouTube music so I transferred all the songs back, but I'm still confused as to why it happened.?

Third Party App I made an open-source Spotify app that doesn't use the Web API: no rate limits, no developer app, one sign-in

74 Upvotes

spotatui started as a continuation of spotify-tui, the terminal Spotify client that stopped being maintained. It now also has a desktop app.

The main difference from other third-party Spotify apps: it doesn't use Spotify's Web API or a developer app at all. Most third-party players go through the Web API, often with a shared app, so all their users share one quota and run into rate limits. spotatui talks to Spotify through librespot instead, so there's no shared quota and you sign in once by confirming a code in your browser.

What it does:

- Plays Spotify itself as a Connect device, so the official app doesn't need to run. You can move playback to your phone or other devices too.

- Home, album and artist pages, your library, synced lyrics, a queue panel and a device picker.

- A Stats page with your top artists, albums and tracks, and this week's top five.

- A full terminal version on the same core, with the pitch visualizer from spotify-tui.

About the look: the desktop app is deliberately close to the official client for now. That way I can easily see which features are still missing and work toward full parity. After that, full customization is coming. The terminal version already has themes.

Honest notes:

- Spotify Premium is required.

- It's not an official Spotify app. It uses librespot, the open-source library that spotifyd and ncspot have used for years.

- The desktop app is a preview, and the installers aren't signed yet, so Windows and macOS can show a warning.

Free and open source (MIT): https://github.com/LargeModGames/spotatui

Downloads: https://github.com/LargeModGames/spotatui/releases/latest

Feedback is welcome, especially about features you miss compared to the official app.

Question Lossless crashing spotify?

21 Upvotes

I've been using lossless on my laptop no problem for a while now, all of a sudden some songs are crashing the app. The issue is fixed when switching to very high quality but lossless wasn't an issue before so I'm confused. I've tried troubleshooting and nothing seems to fix it. Is this happening to anyone else?

Question What is happening?

• Upvotes

Sorry is my first time here so idk if this is an appropriate question but nobody i know seems to have this problem and i feel like im going insane. So when u add songs to a playlist you can see the number of songs already there right, i swear to god everytime i add a new song that number goes up by 1 and when i add another like 2 days later or so, the number is back to how it was but the recent song is already there. Is this like some king of glitch and songs not loading or is spotify removing some randoms songs from my playlists??

Question Spotify blend

• Upvotes

Heyoo!

I’ve always wondered if this is intended feature or a bug, but I’m in a Spotify blend with 2 friends, on mobile it shows like 3 icons whereas PC only shows one icon.

It’s not a big deal or anything. I’ve noticed that the songs I’ve been listening to a lot, initially it’s added by me, if one friend listens to it, it’s added by them only, it kinda messes up the blend, whenever it updates, mine are the same songs, same as the other friend.

(Example: if A listens to C and B songs, A has the songs added)

iOS Adding songs to playlist/liked doesn’t work on iphone

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to add more songs to my liked and just to my playlists in general.

However, the app literally refuses to do so.

The songs appear in the playlist for a split second, and then disappear.

The issue only started happening last night.

I’ve tried reinstalling the app, offloading the app, signing in and out, iPhone restart, and the support AI isn’t helping me at all.

So the only place I can ask is here.
