Spotify Open is available without invites, but limited to 20 hours of music per month (which sucks if you're like me and listens to music continously while at work).

Invite time!

Why the hell doesn't anything happen when I put in the invite code and press Continue? It doesn't say it has already been used or anything, nothing literally happens. I've tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome, same problem.

Just have someone log in once in an "allowed country" (or use a proxy).

This is what the site says under Subscription Status: "Your account can no longer be used from abroad, since the maximum travel time is 14 days for a Spotify Free account. To continue using Spotify from abroad, sign up for Spotify Premium which gives you unlimited travel access."

I know there's a way of accessing Spotify (the program, not the site) using a proxy, but I can't really figure out how - a little help?

Or you could just read what I wrote earlier. You're in some useless country that doesn't normally get to use spotify so you have to get someone in sweden, norway, denmark, uk or the netherlands to log in your account to get you another 14 days.

Is there a way to prevent Spotify from renaming my local files? It adds "- Explicit Version" at the end of some of my song titles, even though they are correctly tagged in iTunes. Though, when I right-click the song in Spotify to change it, it shows the correct song title. I use last.fm, so it's kinda annoying if Spotify scrobbles a different song title even though it's the same song.

HOOOOLY poo poo. Did anyone of you know this? If you swipe a track on the iPhone app, you get the ability to queue it, add it to a playlist without playing the song first and go directly to the album or artist of the song. This rules.

Is anyone else annoyed by how much louder the music from the Spotify app is compared to your own music (on iPhone, can't speak for the Android app)? Each time I have to remember to turn down the volume when I switch to Spotify if I don't want my eardrums to get blasted.

Well yeah, but then you have to search for the album every time you want to listen to it. Might not be an issue for some, but if such a large percentage of their user playlists are just single albums, then there's clearly some missing functionality.

That's one thing I loved about Rdio when I tried it out - you can add albums to your Collection. Would love a similar feature on Spotify since I'm mainly listen to full albums.

I just noticed that as well: Fanfarlo's Rooms Filled With Light album disappeared on me.

I also reported some serious artist fragmentation (Margot & the Nuclear So and So's are spread across four different names because of the "&" and "and" being arbitrary) and overlap (Typhoon is mixed between an indie-rock band, a hardcore Rap artist, a spanish metal (?) band, and a Dutch MC). Not a drat thing done. Just like the still missing features in the Android app (Landscape mode!!) I really don't think they give a poo poo at all as long as the money can be kept flowing. I've also been getting some seriously awful performance both on the Desktop and Android clients with dropouts and buffering on WiFi and LTE. I'm about to just give it up and go back to the bad old days of buying CDs and ripping them.

The iPhone app doesn't have landscape mode, so you're not missing out on that feature, at least.

Am I missing something extremely obvious or with the new update/Unlimited is it literally impossible to just listen to a single album without making it a Playlist? I can't find any way to make it stop without going on to the band's next album, which I don't like for when I'm putting on music to go to sleep to.

Click on the name of the album on the artist profile.

Yeeeesss, looks like a way to "collect" your favorite albums is finally coming to Spotify: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Please-restore-View-as-Album-List-feature/idi-p/368022

Hello everyone! Spotify here. After much deliberating, we don't have plans to add back the CMD+G feature at this time. We know the album artwork view in playlists was a nifty trick. However, we're working on some cool improvements in our upcoming Collection product which we think everyone here will like. We'll post here as soon as we have an update. Stay tuned

How do you organize your music? I've had Spotify for 3 years and I love it, however I can't seem to find an effecient way to manage and organize my music.

I'm with illcendiary on this one - while the "Starred" playlist can in some way work as a library on desktop, it's not a library in the sense I want it (which is a collection of albums) and definitely not on mobile. Hopefully we'll see this soon enough, though - Spotify has recently asked for beta testers for a Library function, so fingers crossed. All my friends have Spotify and I like being able to share music with them, but man, Rdio has seemed mighty tempting sometimes.

What the hell is this? I thought at first it might be a joke but just listen to this. I can't find anything on the interwebs about what it might be.

edit - I hope the link works. If not, look up an album entitled "fight" by "Love Is All", not to be confused with the actual band Love is All despite them being filed together by Spotify for some reason.

I'll preface this by saying I am no fanboy loyalist to Spotify. I'd jump ship the moment something better came along. I did that with MOG when Spotify came out because Spotify seemed to offer more.

That said, I still don't see a major difference in your screenshot and what Spotify offers. In my Playlist ("Collection") I can sort by artists. How is that different than what you posted? The album covers? Are they really that important?

You can't sort by artist on mobile.

You can download the new design here: http://us.reddit.com/r/spotify/comments/1u6i5q/spotify_098_new_black_design_for_mac_and_windows/

Not much (if anything?) has changed functionality wise, but it looks pretty cool. Remember to say no the upgrade when it prompts you, it's actually a downgrade.
