Rageaholic posted:Maed's experience is valid, but I've been using Spotify for 8 years and haven't noticed it getting any shittier. Going back to having a big library of my own music files that I have to manage and sync in 2024 like I used to have in 2016 sounds like a gigantic pain in the rear end, so I'll keep using Spotify for as long as it's usable. they keep raising prices and their voice command integration is straight up broken now, i can't even listen to music in the shower cause it keeps playing live or radio versions or just can't understand what i want anymore. i had to have it play an album and then skip ahead to the song i wanted because it could not understand what i wanted it to play they also have a monthly audiobook cap which i hit last month just listening to stuff to fall asleep

Spotify is mad at Apple about their app store fees and refuses to implement Airplay2 support for their app so Spotify is worse with Apple HomePods. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of the way Spotify handles music libraries, as well - Is there really no way to view my library's entire catalog of songs (NOT all liked songs)? You also can't view your library's songs by genre? Library filtering and sorting seems really bad on Spotify. Also I don't care about podcasts or audiobooks or whatever, I want a better music player.

Spotify is right to be mad, when its main competitor on the platform doesn't have to cough up these 30%, because it owns the platform. Also, what a horrible piece of poo poo the new Apple Music app on Windows is. Every single action has to be server verified, as such it's a slow hog. And for some reason, despite having this decent accent color in dark mode, it's not being used in key places, like for instance the playback progress bar. Then again, when I spend some time figuring out if things improved, people are saying similar things about the Mac version.

Spotify certainly knows a thing or two about unfair revenue sharing

Spotify has had a reader app exemption for like 3 years now to bypass Apple's IAP cut. And yeah, they pay artists worse than every other music streaming services and instead threw billions at anti-vax covid deniers like Joe Rogan and a bunch of podcasts that ended.

At the same time they laid off a poo poo load of people and did it in a lovely way. There was also a twitter thread forever ago of someone working at Spotify getting all this negative feedback as a reason for being let go and she was like "You always gave me glowing reviews and never indicated once that I was under-performing".

The 2 things AM has that I really gently caress with over Spotify are being able to upload my own poo poo and it keeps it in the cloud or whatever. Second, if someone uploads some lovely looking album art I can change it myself and it'll just work. Honestly if Spotify just let me upload my own album art I'd go back to it maybe. Oh and another thing they could do is stop doing the wack rear end A/B tests, I feel like I have a different version of the app every day. They just remove stuff constantly.

A/B testing sucks so hard. It’s hosed up to give users the gaslighting experience when they try to get help with an issue and people say whatever feature doesn’t exist.

Hell, I'd gladly join a TF for that. Edit: Another thing I hate Spotify for is removing the Car View, I was one of the weirdos that liked it. Edit 2: Man while I'm at it, I don't mind them adding Podcasts but they need to add some features like proper chapter support and volume boost/silence trimming.
