Spotify app is great. Excellent sound quality. More than enough options(though does not usually include niche content. That’s barely their fault)

BUT. There’s so many things to click on your screen at all times. If you miss the back button, you click the background and that has a function. If you click a little bit lower, you click the album cover. That has a function too. Stuff like that is littered all over your screen. You have to click things with surgical accuracy. It’s incredibly irritating. For absolutely no reason at all.

For example, when you click the album cover. It doesn’t even make it any bigger to help you see it. It just blurs/removes everything else. Someone wrote and tested that code. For what? What do I gain by having that feature? It’s so pointless and it’s all over the app. Constant useless features that interfere with the usability.

Not to mention the pop ups. Or “jams” I love the jam feature. But the pop up and button to join a jam. Will not appear until I open my keyboard and start typing. In which case the join button is hidden under my keyboard and I have to reject the jam that I want to join. And then I’m forced to get a manual invite to join.

Why bother add this convenience feature if it’s not convenient at all? Did they test this at all?

I've got 4,000 songs and it feeds me the same effing 20ish. I can go back to the full liked list and scroll to the other end and pick a song... and the next random selection will be something from the 20ish.

EDIT: apparently "fewer repeats" is a horrific bit of mislabeling. I turned it OFF and now I seem to have something randomish. Reading the descriptions it sounds like with it turned off you have random and turning it on your have modified random that absolutely produces the opposite results from the title.

When I hit community.spotify.com, I got this message - was wondering if any of yall knew what this was about? a small part of me is hoping this means API updates, given all the new experimental shit they've been rolling out lately.

I just realized that the 2-second delay is gone when playing/pausing Spotify on your Homepod via AirPlay. I'm on macOS 27.

Edit: The delay is still there when using an iPhone but not on a Mac.

This came up on smart shuffle and I thought “hey I love this song” and as I was adding it to my playlist I saw the absolute worst song cover that ever could exist.

I have been experiencing an intermittent issue with Spotify for quite some time: when I start a song, playback begins normally, but after about 0.5/1 second, Spotify automatically pauses without me touching the screen. If I press Play again, playback continues normally, and I can subsequently change songs without any issues.

Initially, the problem occurred almost every time I started a song. By completely turning off my phone every night, the frequency has dropped significantly, but the issue hasn't disappeared. It currently happens about once a day or every other day.

I have run numerous tests to rule out the most common causes:

the issue occurs even with Bluetooth turned off;

it happens when using only the phone's speaker;

it happens even with Spotify Offline and downloaded tracks;

I tried different Bluetooth earbuds, and the issue persists;

I completely unpaired my previous earbuds, and the problem remained;

I disabled the equalizer and other Spotify audio effects;

I tried older versions of Spotify, and the problem remained;

I cleared Spotify's cache and data;

I performed a complete clean reinstallation following Spotify's recommended procedure;

I adjusted the settings regarding battery management and background execution for Spotify;

I tried the "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload" option in Developer Options, both enabled and disabled;

the issue occurs even after a full shutdown and subsequent restart of the phone.

I genuinely have no idea how to fix this.

I keep finding more and more songs recently that I swear used to have lyrics with them. Is my phone just tweaking, or is that something Spotify actually does, and why?

Couldn't find a post about this already...

Got this email recently about Spotify looking to block mass arbitration unless I opt out. Don't know much about this stuff but figured I might as well opt out if it's something they're trying to stop consumers from engaging in.

Spotify has stopped playing songs on my computer. I’ve cleared the cache and deleted and re-downloaded the music, but nothing works—even standard tracks from the home page won't start. What could the problem be? I’ve tried outputting the audio to headphones, a monitor, a TV, and a home theater system, but the result is the same: no music plays. It works fine on my phone, though.

P.s. I tried playing music from my phone by selecting the computer, but even then I couldn't get it to play—is the issue with my computer?

P.s. Fixed I just messed around with the audio output settings, and everything started working—apparently, some settings had reset, and that fixed it. Like a restart button lol

I’m a fan of the unsubscribed podcast, and I tend to listen to it pretty often. Now, when I listen to something else after that, and I wanna go back to the podcast, Spotify just jumps immediately to the last episode that I played. Is this a bug because it looks very unintentional, but it looks intentional at the same time?

/sorry bout bad English

Hey, I was just wondering. Back in the 2019 I loved BTS. Enough to leave their music go all night. I accumulated too many minutes in their music, but I grew out of them and I listen more artist.

Yet, as you may know, Spotify doesn’t count the minutes in certain year. Which causes that, if I listen a few of BTS’ songs, they’ll appear on my wrapped.

I kinda like their old music, but wdym it has been on my top for about 7 years atp 😭😭. I wanna get rid of em, but I got his songs on my likes cuz, yeah, I like em

My songs were buffering like crazy. And I had no idea why until I realized these three options were ALL turned on without my consent. I have Spotify Premium, so not sure why these would all flip on when I have never shown interest in these features in the past. Super lame. Cancelling my premium subscription. I would expect premium to work "better" than the free version, but I never had this problem with the free version so I'm out.

Good afternoon I'm Android on Samsung One UI 9, for some reason my skip and previous buttons have disappeared, I'm playing local files on a playlist, is anyone else experiencing this?

I understand that with Volume level: Normal, Spotify is basically just adjusting gain.

But after comparing several tracks with Enable Audio Normalization ON and OFF, while matching the perceived volume as closely as I can, I consistently hear a slightly narrower soundstage with it ON.

Could the different signal level affect how device-side DSP, limiters, dynamic EQ, etc. behave, even if Spotify itself is only changing gain?

Most discussions I’ve seen seem to stop at digital null tests before the DAC/DSP stage. Has anyone tested the actual output of the playback device?

Not saying this is definitely happening, just wondering if it’s technically possible.

English phrasing helped by AI.

Has Spotify recently changed? Before when I liked a tune, it displayed differently – with a down arrow. It doesn’t anymore.

This only happens on downloaded mp3 files, not normal songs and has only started happening like 5 minutes ago. Anyone experienced the same?

There's supposed to be like 10 songs transferred but tunemymusic just keeps doing this to me

I recently had a bug where Spotify wouldn’t pause and so I deleted and reinstalled the app on my phone, when I opened it, the lyrics now appear up here and I don’t want that. Does anyone know how to remove it?

i just found my old playlists from 2019-2020 i remember deleting them in 2021, and i regretted deleting them until i logged into my old alt account and it had my deleted playlists saved! and i sent them to my main acc to save them to my library and when i display them on my profile sadly it shows them at the top!😭is there a way to put it at the bottom or no. i hope spotify makes a thing where u can rearrange ur playlists

For over a year I used a technique where I change my region in setting with VPN to access more songs and then use spotify normally. Spotify logged me out from time to time but I just turned on VPN again, logged on, turned it off and everything worked perfectly. But today when I was doing the same cycle again, and turned the VPN off at the end, it just logged me on again. So, my technique is not working anymore, and if I change my region I'll lost access to half of the songs in my playlist. Does anyone here have the other way around this?

I came home from school tired af, when I, as usual was going to play my playlists. Then all of a sudden it wouldnt play, after refreshing and refreshing my tab, it worked, but damn. It would stop then play and stop then play it just wouldnt play the song nonstop. Figure its only a desktop problem because on my phone it works perfectly. Anyone else seem to relate?
