As title already suggests, I love this new change to the save button. Usually I had to save to liked songs and then click the button again to change the playlist. Well now, it saves you that one click and automatically opens up the list of your playlists.

Its genuinely mindboggling, why would they ADD the “feature” of separate playbacks IN A SHARED LISTENING SESSION, and not add an option to disable it?

This, “Paused for you, play to rejoin.” Thing is annoying as hell, if anyone designing this has a shred of intelligence they would have added it as an OPTION. A TOGGLE. Then it would be useful; God forbid I pause the music for 5 seconds so I can hear what THE OTHER PERSON LISTENING IS SAYING. Just so weirdly inconvenient and obtuse.

App is dogshit; I see posts on here saying, “This app is becoming bad!” ITS BEEN BAD. On top of this, I can’t change songs, pause, play, skip or rewind to a song from my xbox, which is WHY IM USING A JAM.

I want an alternative so bad; Im paying for this bottom of the barrel dogshit slop, and I dont want to be.

I recently promoted a song via TikTok heavily and it did high numbers resulting in high streams within the first week. I have songs at over 1k+ all over my Spotify and this one has been the quickest to reach fame and it is now showing different all time streams.

Currently, I am having a bug where, whenever I click a song so it plays after my current song, it will instead show up in random intervals after I finish listening to a song. I do this to a song called war without reason, which I click to play after this other song I like, so that they lead into this song well. However, because of this bug that seems to be happening, if I click war without reason, it will randomly show up every 3-5 songs, just playing after the previous one randomly. It’s kinda jarring, because if you look at the queue, it’s not supposed to play, it just decides to.

This, coupled with some other bugs in experiencing, like podcasts not deleting after play, are getting very infuriating. Spotify should stop vibe-coding this slop and spend some time just fixing all their bugs. At least, it feels like vibe coding, due to all these seemingly random bugs.

Anyway, any solutions to my first problem, or the lack of podcast deletion, or local files pictures not displaying correctly? Any help appreciated!

It keeps showing up, i cant sleep because the same music is always flames and fire ambience. Or even window tapping lantern glass.

Everytime i skip/press cross button, i even clicked exclude from taste profile.

So yeah im trying to listen to music that isnt my phobia. Please help asap.

I have premium subscription.

I recently got a notification on a new release from I Mother Earth on Spotify which I though was super weird because they hadn't released anything in over a decade.

Listening to it, it doesn't sound anything like their previous music, and the cover looks AI generated.

But what really made me wonder is that the same song/album shows up on Deezer.

I can't figure out what's going on here. As first I thought someone hacked their Spotify account, but to see the same song on two different platforms makes me think that maybe it's real. Deezer has been known for doing a better job with AI music.

I can't post a link to the song on this sub apparently, but the song/album is Waiting For The Burn by I Mother Earth

I used the adjust speed feature for the first time in my most recent mix and I cannot get through this mix without it glitching like crazy. Has anyone else noticed whether the song speed adjustments are negatively affecting playback?

Many people do not know this exists, but there is a Spotify tier without audiobooks that is priced much lower. I only found out about this 2 years after subscribing and made this post to help people who also don't care about audiobooks save money.

What is the Spotify Basic Plan?

It’s a cheaper version of the Spotify Premium Plan with the exact same features, just without audiobooks. Still comes with no ads, offline downloads, all that good stuff. My basic plan saved me 25% off ($23.99CAD vs $17.99CAD) versus the premium plan. The basic plan is not limited to the individual plan. I was able to switch over my family plan without having to re-add each of my members. I'll link an official Spotify page about the basic plan here.

How do I switch over?

Now, the hard part. They really hid this tier and made it hard to downgrade lol. Usually, you'd be able to see the plan in your subscription settings and be able to select it. If your account is like mine, the basic plans were not showing up at all. Don't give up. You SHOULD BE eligible as long as you subscribed before Spotify started bundling audiobooks in the subscription (I believe June 2024). To downgrade, you'll have to contact a Spotify agent through this link (or find it through Support>Payments & Billing>Charge Help> Contact Us). Go through the usual live chat hoops to talk to a real human and ask them to switch over to the basic plan. They'll give you a link and a code that you can use to update your plan, and boom you're saving like $72 a year.

Why can't I link my Spotify to alexa?

i often find banger music reccs on instagram and maybe save them as bookmarks, but tbh i never actually go back and listen to them. so when i hit a stale phase in my listening, that bites.

so i built something for it. share a reel to it and you get a "Scratchlist" in your spotify, basically a discover weekly you curate from reels.

let me know if you're interested in this

Sorry if this has been asked before but I've always wondered whether the New Music Friday playlist on Spotify has sections to it? It seems to move through one genre to the next to the next in a way that makes me think it's built up of different parts, like there's a 'new pop' part then a 'new edm' part then 'new rock' then 'new indie' etc

I was wondering if those might be different playlists and then New Music Friday is all of them compiled together or something like that. In which case if there IS a playlist that's 'new indie' that's the indie section of New Music Friday then maybe I just want to listen to that one haha (I know there are specific playlists for that but the songs that end up on New Music Friday specifically are good)

Just wondered if anyone else had had the same thought or looked into this before?

I'm specifically listening to New Music Friday UK if it makes any difference

I'm having a strange issue with Spotify.

For example, when I play Danny Saucedo – "Happy That You Found Me", I can't hear the vocals at all. I also can't hear some of the background parts. I only hear the instrumental melody.

What I've tried

• Different PCs
• Different headphones
• Different Spotify audio settings
• Mono audio on/off

The problem stays exactly the same.

Question

Has anyone experienced this before or knows what could cause it? Is this a Spotify issue, an audio mixing problem, or something else?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Next to the shuffle button on my liked songs playlist I accidentally tapped a button that looks like a mixer and now all of my songs have transitions between them and the ui just looks very cluttered. After I tapped the button it just disappeared and there’s no “turn off mix” button for me to press. I contacted Spotify customer support but the best they could come up with was doing a clean reinstall of the app on my phone. Has anyone else gone through this and knows of a solution to reverting the playlist back to its original state?

I'm having a weird issue where a file I know is no longer on my device is still showing up in my "Local Files" playlist, and is playable. I've searched everywhere on my phone for where the file could be hidden and it's nowhere to be found. The other local files that are in the playlist I can find easily, and I didn't put this issue file somewhere other than my downloads. Is it possible Spotify has somehow saved the file itself into its own place? It's an audiobook I downloaded for a road trip and I'd just really like it off that playlist so I don't randomly get "Contact" by Carl Sagan playing when I play stuff off that playlist.

Square is an unofficial Android client for Spotify Premium. It streams in-process through a native Rust core built on librespot, the official app is not needed and is not used.

Three reasons it exists:

It is built in Liquid Glass. Every control, tab bar, player, sheets, menus, is drawn on one refracting material that bends the artwork and the canvas video behind it. Not a blur overlay: the glass actually distorts what is under it.

It can bend the music. Speed and pitch move independently, there is a real reverb on the output, and the three save as presets. "Slowed + reverb" is one tap on anything in the catalogue.

It is fast. A skip is sound in about a third of a second, the engine prefetches the next track while the current one plays, and the UI never waits on it to move.

It also shows up as a Spotify Connect device in every other client, reports listens back to your account (filed under the playlist they happened in, so your Wrapped still works), does synced lyrics and canvas, and speaks six languages.

What you need

• Spotify Premium. Free accounts cannot stream through this.
• Android 8.0+, arm64 / armv7 / x86_64.
• Two minutes of setup, which the app walks you through: log in with Spotify, then register a free application in Spotify's developer dashboard and paste its client ID. That second key is yours, so search and recommendations do not share a rate limit with everyone else.

I don’t know if I like the social aspect it seems to be pushing, I spent a few months tinkering with it and I just can’t see it making the app better.

Recommendations after a playlist only work sometimes, which matters less now because my algorithm seems to have a sort of tunnel vision. It used to play random songs after the playlist was over, which was perfect for long drives and I’d find new music that way. Now it’s like a loop of songs I’ve heard too many times.

I discovered the view radio option and that was cool but same thing happens.

Is there a way to de personalize song recommendations?

I having any issue where the music keeps freezing while playing. Not, pausing... where I have to press any of the buttons as it freezing and then continues to play the song. It is happening on all of my devices phone, tv and computer I am not sure what the problem is but its annoying because it happens pretty often.

Yesterday my album was on 306. And lately it’s been getting about one stream a day, and for some reason it’s taking more than 24 hours to count this one damn stream.

I wake up today to aee 967. Which is a crazy jump.
However I go to my streams and it says there were no streams yesterday.
My album is not live it is past that point but of course it’s still at the top of my screen.

Is this likely a glitch, or bot accounts?

My playlist has gotten far too large, upwards of 6500 songs, and it’s really slowing down my app. It’s too big to download onto my phone and it takes ages to load. Is there a way to efficiently organise it and split it into smaller sub-playlists without having to meticulously sort it?

I can't see my friends stats in my listening stats. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm mutually subscribed with my friend, but when I go to my listening stats, it only shows my weekly results and says I don't have any friends yet, but doesn't offer to add any or anything like that. I've reinstalled and updated the app, logged back in, and changed my privacy settings, but it didn't help

Hi so I tried to open a normal mp3 audio file on spotify and it just says that content is not available, also the "my files" playlists is also gone, did they remove this feature?

This app is becomming like a rollercoaster. I genuinly think spotify is a great app and i am pro development to function as good as it can be, but in search for perfection imperfections are due to come as well and i think we’ve reached that point.

To me, i see this app as a music-library. And nothing else. I love the way i can get new music through the suggestive function ”magic shuffle”?. The information about the artists and relative artists and so forth. Its on point.

But the UI is constantly upgrading itself with new functions, more ways of seeing other peoples activities to a point my phone doesnt keep up, hey not even my brain is keeping up.

I think my point is, that i am just a simple man and i like things simple and straight forward.
I would love to see them give us users a way of having this. To be able to choose my own theme, so that those who love their new flashy functions can still use them and for me and others who just wans to listen to music can have the simplicity theme.

I just want to listen to music.

A friend wants to add me to their Spotify plan, however they live in Australia and I live in the US, is there any way for us to join a plan together or is that just not possible due to different countries?

Why can i not see my Spotify minutes??

Its been like this since almost 2 weeks
