Interesting, looks like it's priced halfway between an individual Spotify Premium account (19.99 zł a month) and a Spotify Family account (29.99 zł a month.)

Looks like it's only available in Poland right now? https://www.spotify.com/pl/duo/

PSA

Complaining in this thread will not improve this app. But you know what will? Review the app on Google Play/the App Store!

If and only if Spotify gets an influx of 1, 2, or 3-star reviews, they'll realize they need to do better. Do it now. Here are links:

• Spotify on Google Play

• Spotify on Apple App Store

Yeah it's amazing. It lets you listen to music in sync with anyone in the world. You can create a virtual room and then take turns DJing with as many people as you want. You can also vote on the stuff thats playing and save it to playlists for later.

LINK: https://www.jqbx.fm

We've actually done some tests on the algorithm in the past.

In reality, the algorithm is pretty good. The issue is how it responds to user input. Pretty much anything other than forward skipping will reset the shuffle so that you can hear the exact same songs that you just heard. Clicking onto another playlist, skipping backwards, or clicking any track on a currently playing playlist will all cause the shuffle to be reset. This should not be the case, and I suspect it's why there is such a discrepancy between Spotify's shuffle tests and user tests.

I would suggest that users write in their feedback on this issue and ask for the shuffle seed to remain persistent throughout these activities.

I have both. I prefer Spotify over Apple Music to find new songs and artists. I personally think Apple really lacks in that department. But if you need help transferring items from iTunes to Spotify, there are applets that will do that such thing. You just have too look. Try looking through https://ifttt.com.

Totally agree there should be a way to jam out with friends at the same time via Spotify! Thats why I made JQBX. Android is coming soon, should be out in like a month or so. There's a Mac Desktop and iOS version now though: https://www.jqbx.fm

If you sign up for the mailing list I'll shoot you an email when Android comes out!

Due to the volume of posts before I caught this, I'm going to allow this topic to stay. However, we have already had many posts regarding this. Spotify gradually rolls out its updates so many users have had the new color for a while.

The color is part of their new branding and is unlikely to change. However, you can leave your feedback directly to Spotify via email or twitter.

Check out this Reddit thread and website for an amazing organization of all 1502 genres.

From the terms: > If you have have subscribed to the Premium or Unlimited service or have taken a 30-day free trial offer or 60-day free trial offer previously, you are ineligible for this 3-for-1 Trial Offer. You may also be ineligible for this 3-for-1 Trial Offer if you have taken other previous trial offers offered by Spotify.

Honestly, I’ll just go on songfacts when I want more info. Genius is more crowdsourced than songfacts and they seem to have a lot of people making their own interpretations rather than information and quotes from the creators.

with https://www.tunemymusic.com/ you move songs/playlist between many services even extract to file and import again for me spotify connect is a big plus and now they even added lyrics do spotify all the way

Everynoise - expand a genre (the arrow to the right of its name) and then pulse/intro/etc. The curated genre lists in Spotify is also usually very good and update every two weeks / month depending on the genre (there's a few that really doesn't get updated that often, but most have fairly frequent updates).

.. and Release Radar.

Site is most likely Pastebin. I'll do some digging and see what I can find.

Edit: It is Pastebin. Most likely this data is not from Spotify itself as most of what I can see is just emails and passwords with dates on when the subscription expires.

This is most likely parsed data from other breaches your information came from. They just try it in other places to make lists like this then sell them on the "Dark Web" or just provide it for free.

I would start by changing your password EVERYWHERE. Skip nothing and start with your email address first. Use something like LastPass to store complex passwords.

I would start right now and don't stop until you are confident you have all the major stuff, banks, social media, school accounts, anywhere you can purchase something or that would store your address or personal information.

If they have this they have other things. It is now up to you to fix it. No one in the world will help you get this information back.

If you want to know if your data has been hacked and where it came from check this place out Link.

Apkmirror is a reliable place to get new and old apks. My girlfriend's Instagram app stopped accessing her phone's camera, so I got her an old apk for IG to roll back to and the problem was solved.

It's too late to save past playlists—you have to go through each one before next Monday comes around or they disappear. In the future, though, try out this DW archive if you want to save your playlists from now on. Or just stay on top of the release schedule and make sure you save the songs you like before the new playlist comes out.

One of their designers wrote a bit about it. It fits better in with their new branding - no gradients or outlines so they can mess around with the background/foreground colours.

Just give it a bit of time, you'll get used to it. I remember when people got angry about the old logo changing in ~2013.

Soundbounce is the replacement to Soundrop, an app that allowed users to do this back when apps were integrated into the Spotify interface. What it needs is more exposure and more users!

Just got a Note 8 like an hour ago and signed into Spotify. It's doing the same exact thing. Thought it was the phone.

I do not care for the UI.

EDIT: Installing the Spotify Beta APK fixed it for me, and reverted the layout.

cc /u/me_version2 /u/KennethImagine /u/EveningsPanda

Spotify never had any involvement with Soundrop so I'm not really sure if they're interested in exploring this type of feature.

Soundbounce was developed to replace Soundrop. The client requires premium, but they also have a beta Chrome extension now that does not.

Spotify do have a Family Plan where you can add up to 3 more accounts to your payment plan at 50% Discount per connection.

(1 account = £9.99, 2 = £14.99 3= £19.99 etc.)

Everyone uses their own account and can all stream at the same time.

Happy Steaming. ;3

https://www.spotify.com/uk/family/

Hi everyone,

As many of you have already posted, the offer for 3 months for 0.99 USD is only eligible for those that have never had Premium on their account before (via a subscription or a trial). We have more info about this holiday offer here on our FAQ page as well.

We've read your comments on this and please know we're passing on your feedback around this offer. If you have had an any further questions about your subscription please get in touch with us via the contact form here so we can take a closer look at your account. You'll then hear from our team shortly.

You can't do it in spotify natively but you can do it with iFttt. I have an iFttt reciepe that takes every song I add to my library and adds to a another list I made called started.

This allows me to simply add any song I am interested in to my library and then iFttt does the work for me. I can then review that list later and decide what to do with those songs...

Save Songs to "Starred" https://ifttt.com/recipes/316011?z=261206

https://www.spotify.com/us/student/

Here you go.

I just did this no more than a few minutes ago so I know it works. It should ask you for your email, first and last name, college you are currently attending, and your date of birth. It will try and verify this information, and, if it does verify, then you will need to log in to an existing account (or make a new one) and enter your credit card information. You now will only pay $4.99 a month*.

Hope this helps!

*Note, this discount is good for 12 months at a time. After your 12 months are up, you must add the discount again.

Hello! I actually just tried using the link provided above and it didn't work for me either. I contacted customer service and they provided me with the correct link to use

https://www.spotify.com/us/googlehome/register/

At the moment it gives me a message saying the deal is not available at the moment, but the rep told me it just means they haven't put it up yet and that it will probably be posted at some point during the day on the 1st. Hope you get one!

This. It's likely that this is someone who has a token to use your account (perhaps you used one of those "show me my top songs on Spotify" things) rather than someone who knows your password.

https://www.spotify.com/au/account/apps/ is where to go to see what apps you have given access to - and where to stop them.

Do you use the same password for everything? If so they do not need a keylogger if they have some other account, like your email (where they would be able to reset your password themself). No matter what, I would check your email's integrity.

You can go to https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and see if your email address has been compromised in a leak recently.

The T&C are here

https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/premium-for-family-supplemental-offer-terms/

The part that seems relevant > If you were an existing subscriber to any other form of Spotify Premium immediately prior to becoming a New Primary Account Holder, any remaining subscription period that you may have had under your previous subscription type will be shortened upon successful purchase of this Supplemental Offer. The ability to access the Supplemental Offer will begin immediately upon successful purchase but payment in respect of the Supplemental Offer will not be taken until the start date of your new monthly subscription period.

ETA: So I upgraded from my normal plan to the family plan. Like the T&C said, they immediately sent me the Google Home Mini offer but didn't charge me the extra $5 yet. I checked the account management page and there's a "downgrade next month to normal" option.

From press release:

New and existing Premium for Family plan master account holders can sign up for a Google Home Mini at https://www.spotify.com/us/family/ starting on 11/1. Note, this is a limited offer, only available for U.S. Spotify Premium for Family users till December 31, 2018—so don’t wait.

Fidelify, SoundBounce and SpotiAmp (looks like the official site is down, maybe search around on this subreddit) are the first that come to mind, but I'm sure there are more. :)

I've used tomahawk and I really liked it, but sometimes it would have issues playing/loading songs. So I'm on the official spotify client now. ^(For me, the changes for now are survivable. They just better get their shit together.)

Have you tried the Spotify New Release Sorting Hat?

Over 17,000 new releases this week listed for you. A few are grouped into genres on the left-hand side, and all by popularity on the right.

Click on the pictures on the left, or the numbers on the right to hear a 30-second preview of the track, and click on the name of the track on either side to open it on Spotify.

Feeling lucky? Click on (number unclustered) on top right to list every track not listed by genre on the first page.

And enjoy!

It doesn't have to be a standalone offboard DAC, WASAPI will work on anything and ASIO is available for a number of internal soundcards (most notably Creative stuff).

It's possible this would actually improve sound quality if you had your systemwide sample rate/bit depth locked to something weird or your audio interface's drivers are doing shitty postprocessing you can't turn off but in general yeah, only special snowflakes need apply.

Or to quote the download page of the Foobar2K ASIO output component:

>Please note that this component is meant for systems where ASIO is the only available output method. It is highly recommended to use the default output modes instead of ASIO. Contrary to popular "audiophile" claims, there are NO benefits from using ASIO as far as music playback quality is concerned, while bugs in ASIO drivers may severely degrade the performance.

Please contact Spotify support so they can enable it for your account. It has pretty much been rolled out completely at this point, so any accounts missing DW are likely to be bugs.

You can reach support via email or twitter. You must respond to the automated e-mail to get help.

It's been an issue before. According to people in this thread you might be able to get a refund if you email them.

You can email support by visiting this page and filling out the required info.

Good luck.

Instead of complaining about it here, leave them a low star rating in the store and call out the issues you have with the update. It takes the same time as posting here, but it actually reaches them and shows them how important these features are to the community.

It’s not exactly what you’re asking for, but the best solution at the moment is to set a timer on the iOS Clock app, If you have an iOS device. Go to the Clock app -> Timer -> When Timer Ends -> Stop Playing.

You might have issues beyond Spotify. He got into your account because he found the password in another breach, check out https://haveibeenpwned.com/ to see what breaches you're in.

You need to stop reusing passwords, get a password manager to help you with this.

Legally, they advertise premium as ad-free, with terms and conditions that apply. Those terms and conditions (which you agreed to when you signed up for an account) include exactly this sort of thing:

> In any part of the Spotify Service, the Content you view, including its selection and placement, may be influenced by commercial considerations, including agreements with third parties.

Plane9 is a 3d visualizer where you never have to settle for just one view ever again. It features over 250 predefined scenes to choose from. But it doesn't end there since the scenes can be combined with one another to form a near endless supply of new views to experience. 37 transition are used to form a continous experience when moving from scene to scene.

The visualizer can be used either as a winamp plugin, a Windows Media Player plugin, screensaver or a oculus rift VR visualizer. In it's standalone modes it is sound sensitive and reacts to what your currently listening to, be it from spotify, iTunes or any another sound source, it can even react to what you record from a microphone or other input.

You can use rainmeter, that's what I do: Link and here's a great visualiser for it: Desktop VU Meter (it looks better than the display images on the page)

The playlists it creates are set to public, so remember to switch them to private.

The results are limited to 400 tracks. One way to get around this is to break your source playlist (or Your Music library) into multiple playlists, do each separately, and then combine the results.

Other web apps that can be used in conjunction:

• everynoise.com
• Sort Your Music
  

Have you ever looked at google play music? I can't find anywhere with an exact number but the limit seems to be 99,999 songs from what I can tell from this support forum.

It would be a pretty massive switch given how much music you already have in your library, but there are some services out there to help move from one streaming service to another.

Can't tell you why Spotify radio sucks, but it really does. In my experience, the best radio service out there is Slacker. Their $4/mo service works perfectly for me, but the free option is just as good (with limitations, obvs).

Here's their 90s Alt station. If you click on "Fine Tune" from the player, you can adjust the pool that it pulls from (for example, more/less popular stuff)

Please contact Spotify directly as your account is likely compromised. Unfortunately, we can't help you with these types of issues.

If you accidentally delete songs from a playlist, you can always use https://www.spotify.com/us/account/recover-playlists/ to recover it. If that doesn't work, it can often be recovered by a help representative.

I have too many playlists to backup each and every one, but I do keep a backup of my main playlist. There was a bug months ago that basically ate playlists and they could not be recovered so I lost thousands of songs. Because Spotify does rely some degree on local storage before it is synced to the server, it can be smart to backup a playlist you just don't want to lose.

I'm from India, I use TunnelBear to make it work for me. You can still download spotify, (use Tunnelbear if you can't, choose your country as US) download it, Sign up, choose US or UK, whatever country you want, find a random ZIP code (psst, 90210), and finish up registering. Spotify allows 14 days of 'travel' period with the free subscription. Every fortnight, you'll have to power up Tunnelbear, set your country to US, open spotify and log in. 14 days get added.

It sounds annoying but it really isn't. I chose US because I'll probably move soon and then get premium.

EDIT: Tunnelbear is free, but only 500 mb a month. If you only use it for signing in to spotify, it won't even use up 3 MB, so there you go. Explore, dive in music.

Google "sleep timer [platform]"

iOS

There's an IFTTT (If This Than That) script that will do exactly this. I think it dumps them into one big playlist, but it works great in case you forget to save songs before It updates on Monday.

https://ifttt.com/spotify

They are gone. You may have chance finding them in history but it's only last 50 songs. You can use this IFTTT applet to automatically save all the songs from DW playlist to a separate playlist every week.

Go to the contact form, select "give Spotify feedback about something", then "report inaccurate song information", write your message including the album URI, and then probably nothing happens.

Try this site out. https://soundiiz.com/

Just connect your Spotify account, select the playlist. And select ".txt" Hope this helps. =)

EDIT: You'll have to manually rename the text files, so be aware of that.

Hi all!

I work at Spotify and I've just spread the word about this to our customer support and also to developers - we will check this out ASAP!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

There are various ways to reach us, all specified here.

You can even Tweet at us ^_^

What device are you running on? How long ago (roughly) has it been since you last upgraded? (I guess you won't remember the actual version)

Did you receive a response from an actual person? You must respond to the automated e-mail in order to get assistance from a staff member. We can't help with account related issues in this subreddit as we are not directly affiliated with Spotify.

For other people experiencing this issue, please contact Spotify support directly using either @SpotifyCares or e-mail support.

Their "live chat" is Twitter. If you want immediate help, you should contact @SpotifyCares. Otherwise, email them using the contact form.

They can most likely recover it, but I'm not sure as it's not a normal playlist. Posting angry messages on the subreddit doesn't help.

We cannot assist users with account related issues. It is best to get in touch with Spotify customer support directly via @SpotifyCares or email.

You must respond to the automated email or you won't get help.

No clue what to tell you but good luck. I was fortunate to get in with Spotify before they forced FB integration and don't have to deal with this nonsense. Maybe try this link since it allows you to put in your contact email

There have always been various dumps floating around, and they are not from any breaches in Spotify's databases. They have made statements previously, this one is about a 1000+ account user dump in 2016: >"Spotify has not been hacked and our user records are secure," reads the statement. "The compromised credentials come from a well known past leak on another service.

~^^http://www.newsweek.com/hundreds-spotify-accounts-leaked-apparent-hack-last-week-392696

Check if you have been the victim of another leak first of all.

Hey there.. I use this method and its pretty simple. I guess you have heard of IFTTT, well it creates recipes that could be used to save a lot of time. In this you have to create a IFTTT account if you do not have one, and then link it to your spotify account and just let the recipe run. It creates a new playlist on Discover Weekly Archives and it saves all of the song you get each Monday into the archive Playlist.

Here is the Link: https://ifttt.com/applets/311873p-automatically-keep-a-playlist-of-your-spotify-discover-weekly-recommendations

I went back to a Spotify version from august to get the search bar back and disabled auto update: Link

I highly suggest checking out If this, then that which I'm guessing is what OP is using to automatically do this. It's pretty nifty and has some example flows to help you get into the habit.

You basically just feed the subreddit you want to get the videos from, and select the playlist in spotify you want those songs dumped in.

Bada-bing, Bada-boom.

You have your own awesome playlists from your favourite subreddits.

No, you pay for an ad-free version that has terms and conditions associated with it (that you agreed to), which include:

> In any part of the Spotify Service, the Content you view, including its selection and placement, may be influenced by commercial considerations, including agreements with third parties.

Legally, you already told Spotify you’re alright with them doing this

> I combed their marketing campaign for Premium

Yet you somehow missed the repeated references to terms and conditions that explain they can do things like have Drake all over the Browse page.

> They make no reference to whether or not this applies to the Premium service

They literally say the terms and conditions apply to the premium service. I don't know how you can miss that. "Go Premium. Enjoy ad-free music on all your devices. Terms and conditions apply." Is that too complicated for you?

> while pretending to be "a product of the 'suggestion' algorithm."

Oh, where do they pretend Drake on the homepage is the result of an algorithm? Or is this just more of you having no idea what you're actually talking about?

I don't think it is. I'm pretty sure it's an unofficial native binary that integrates pretty well into Gnome (playback controls in Notification Bar, media key integration). I don't have Wine installed and I don't see any Wine components running while the Spotify client runs.

https://www.spotify.com/us/download/linux/

I think you're talking about Spotify Running.

https://www.spotify.com/us/running/

There is tempo detection based on your current pace, but it only samples your pace at the beginning; if you want to change the tempo, then you will have to use manual touchscreen controls or back out of the music, go back in, and then go through the auto-detection process.

IFTTT, If This Then That, will perform some action (the That-part) when some event occurred (or is triggered, the This-part). This flow is called a recipe in the IFTTT world.

Basically, if you ask your parents to call you from your room as soon as the food is finished, you've created a recipe that's triggered by a Food Is Ready-event, with the action Call Me. In this example, your parents have the role of IFTTT.

So, If (trigger: Food Is Ready) Then (action: Call Me)

What actions and what triggers you can choose from depends on what providers are available. This requires some work on both IFTTT's and the providers' side, so not every company is available on IFTTT. These providers are called channels in IFTTT.

The Spotify Channel currently offers two triggers and two actions.

Triggers:

• A track is saved to Your Music
• A track is saved to a specified playlist

Actions:

• Save a track to Your Music
• Save a track to a specified playlist

A really cool thing about IFTTT is that you can mix different channels' triggers and actions. A recipe I just started using myself is to change the wallpaper on my Android phone whenever I save a track. Popular recipes using triggers and actions from Spotify can be found on Spotify's channel page.

You can use this thing to see what Spotify editors are programming in different sections in different countries, so maybe that will help you...

http://everynoise.com/worldbrowser.cgi?section=hiphop

I had this same issue today and didn't get the DGD song either.

Release Radar can be ok, but Every Noise's New Release Sorting Hat is a much better tool. Just hit CMD+F and type in your genre and it will show you literally everything released in the last week that's tagged as that genre. I've found so many new artists like this that I never would have heard of without this tool.

Use https://soundiiz.com/

I used even paid for a month to transfer my large amount of playlist from Rhapsody to Spotify

Worked out really well!

After was done just cancelled the subscription. Can do free but it’s only one transfer at a time and would have been a pain in the ass to do so.

here's a list of all US retailers who carry them: https://www.spotify.com/us/gift-card/

oddly it seems the largest denomination is $60 -- not nearly enough for a whole year's subscription at the regular price

If you take a look at their technology jobs page you'll see no jobs for desktop/native client and only for mobile. Now that doesn't mean they're not focusing on it, but I thought it was an interesting thing to point out nonetheless.

Yes, a premium account is necessary to use Spotify on Sonos. Perhaps they're eligible for a trial? At least then they can try it out and make up their minds if they think Spotify is worth it. Check out https://www.spotify.com/us/sonos/. (If you're from a different country, simply change the county setting in the bottom right.)

They do have gift cards that you can redeem on your account, but they are only available as Premium. Once the time on the code is up, strait back to the free service.

https://www.spotify.com/us/get-spotify/e-card/

Must be a slow news day. This happens all the time. Spotify accounts are bought by account resalers in batches by the thousands and then sold off for about $3-$5 per account on forums and like $10-$20 on other markets.

I'm talking about never ending supplies with hundreds of resalers all working from different batches to put in perspective how often and how many accounts are out there.

I have never seen Spotify itself breached. It is usually accounts which have been acquired from another breach and people using the same passwords or bruteforced passwords.

So basically, check to see if your name is on the list and look into how you handle your account security if it is

https://haveibeenpwned.com/

Easy workaround for Android users is to download this app which does exactly that with one click: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.virock.deletecurrentplaylistsong_spotify

Not like Spotify are going to add such a useful feature any time soon.

I had the same reaction!! I got on the treadmill tonight and got annoyed I couldn't find the running playlists!

I'm auditioning a few other options. One that seems to work well enough is Rock My Run. It takes a different approach: A DJ custom-mixes music and it runs at a set BPM. The app tracks your steps and matches to your pace. Not the same, or as good, but it's definitely better than nothing.

Check this android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotitracks.ghost It also generates your top tracks and many more features like shuffling, merging and removing duplicate tracks on your playlists

Disclaimer: I created the app

Edit: I just published it 3 weeks ago

this typically happens when your spotify password is the same as your password on another less-secure site that gets hacked.

it's worth signing up at have i been pwned to find out which of passwords have been leaked.

Actually, this sounds like somebody hacked your account to get the free Google Home Mini. I'd suggest changing your password (even if you're confident that you're not using the same password for other services), and signing out everywhere on the Spotify website. The button should be found here: https://www.spotify.com/account/overview/.

​

You're not being charged yet because Spotify has converted your regular Premium time to Premium for Family time. But this means that your next payment date will be a few days earlier than it has been to compensate for the change in pricing.

• Dont link you spotify account to your facebook.
• Read this. There's a privacy settings on the account settings
• if you want privacy. r/privacy recommends that you pirate your songs instead. Spotify is also better than other streaming because it is not a US company.

You pay for a service that has terms and conditions associated with it (that you agreed to), which include:

> In any part of the Spotify Service, the Content you view, including its selection and placement, may be influenced by commercial considerations, including agreements with third parties.

Spotify Connect only works across devices signed into the same Spotify account, and they don't need to be connected to the same network. If someone else is interfering with your playback through Connect, they have gained access to your account. Go to https://www.spotify.com/account/, click "Sign Out Everywhere," and change your password on Spotify as well as anywhere else you may have used that same password.

You can automatically backup DW using this ifttt recipe. You can also automatically scrobble to last.fm for a comprehensive history of the songs that you've played as well as further recommendations.

Barring that, there is, of course, the manual way.

After a brief look, it has 2 components, the service and the php. The service does the computation and the php serves up the web ui and interacts with the service.

In order to install it on a server you need to run the service with runit and copy the whole directory onto a server.

I can look into this more after work.

Some good ideas suggested already, but another thing you can try is everynoise.com. It's a complete list of every genre on Spotify. Once you've found something weird and new (Cumbia funk? Deep opera? Schranz?), you can go to Spotify and plug "The Sound of <whatever genre you've chosen>" into the search bar, and it'll play you a comprehensive playlist of the most popular songs within the genre. If you click on the links to "The Edge" or "The Pulse" in the descriptions of "The Sound of..." playlists, it will also redirect you to lesser known songs or whatever's in vogue currently in that genre, respectively.

You need to be partner. This link used to be an application, but it's directing me to the front page now.

Other than that, some premium users got this feature, probably as tester. It might roll out to the rest of the community some time in the future.

Please contact Spotify directly as we can't help you with this sort of issue. You must respond to the automated email that they send in order to receive help from a real person. Deleted playlists (by you or accident) are usually recoverable.

You can reach support via email or twitter.

You're definitely right! Usually the "hacked" accounts were gathered from another dump.

Here's how it works:

1. Dump gets released then the user puts it on a .txt file.

2. User writes a config file for Sentry MBA 1.4.1 Beta 4 or they just Google "Sentry Spotify Config" for one.

3. User then uses Sentry MBA 1.4.1 Beta 4 with their dump list and config file which then the program outputs whether it was able to log in or not. Depending on the config file, it will say if the account has Premium or not and when it expires.

4. User then compiles all working accounts onto a single list to distribute.

Users can easily protect themselves by having secure and unique passwords for all their accounts. Some password managers can notify you if there was a breach in the service you use so they're definitely worth getting. Or you can just check https://haveibeenpwned.com/.

As per mschley2: >I just downloaded this widget called Alternate Music Widget. It's working great for me so far.

Definitely worth checking out

As per mschley2: >I just downloaded this widget called Alternate Music Widget. It's working great for me so far. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kissdevs.kdmusicwidget

Works fine enough for me now

Instead of complaining about it here, leave them a low star rating in the store and call out the issues you have with the update. It takes the same time as posting here, but it actually reaches them and shows them how important these features are to the community.

Btw for all those on Android, there's an unofficial Spotify stats app called uTrack that tells you your top 50 artists, tracks and genres for the past month, 6 months and all time.

I made this app that does this, uTrack, as a personal project early this year. Shows all the top artist/track/genre stats, and you can also generate a playlist from your top tracks, and open all the artists and tracks directly into Spotify.

This one. It does the best job it can, it's just a pain in the ass to swap back and forth between apps and sometimes it crashes. Should have been a feature on Spotify ages ago.

If you are looking for an awesome podcast app, I've had Pocket Casts for a while now and love it. Probably one of the most polished apps out there.

Spotify's database is not getting hacked. They've release statements concerning these types of "hacks" before, and never find anything in their systems that points towards a breach.

It's way more likely that your e-mail is compromised, or you have some sort of key logger going of on certain apps. It could also be through your phone.

Spotify is no longer in the business of adding features and listening to customers so I wouldn’t wait for them, I have been using IFTTT for years now to automatically do just this.

No, but there is an IFTTT applet that auto archives your discover weekly into a playlist. There is also ones for your release radar. Really no reason to not have this running.

Here you go! Hopefully it works for you too :)

Yeah it seems to lag a bit when I open the folders but it seems to calm down after it's processed them bois. The reason I have so many playlists is because I have a folder with all the albums I listen to and the rating I would give them because SPOTIFY STILL DOESN'T HAVE A WAY TO RATE ALBUMS and I didn't enjoy using separate sites/software like rateyourmusic etc. Thanks for the reply :)
