rdio has a nice "collection" folder that shows as albums, but "playlists" only show as a list of tracks. seems like a pretty easy thing to allow for different "collections" but none yet.

i would love a way to "star" albums separately from tracks.
― brimstead, Friday, 4 April 2014 00:08 (ten years ago) link
I liked all of the stars and hearts, it created a more musical experience.
I just realized that if I make a playlist that is descriptive enough, I can make a "radio station" out of it. Found lots of obscurities that way.

i don't like the new look :/

Seems slower to show new artwork when skipping a track.

I'm not sure how anyone who tested this can say, oh this is faster and less buggy! Ship it!

Finding I have trouble hitting the little menu button on the lower right. Either that or there is a lag.

i got the new ios app on my iphone but my macbook version hasn't changed

disappointing, but thanks!

It's a gradual rollout over the course of a couple weeks or something. If you don't have it yet, you'll get it soon.

Are we Linux users getting the update too?
― Gerald McBoing-Boing, Saturday, 5 April 2014 15:20 (ten years ago) link
The Steely Dan poll results playlist has 17 followers. I'm one and I can see who three others are. Who are the other 13? Who are the 401 users following "Julian Cope's Japrocksampler Top 50 Albums"? I can go get fucked.
Update from a Spotiy developer: "We have currently no plans to restore that feature. It's being discussed though, as we know that some people find it useful. The problem with the feature as it used to work was that, although it made sense for a handful of followers, it didn't scale for playlists with many followers. It was sort of broken, and fixing it properly would have quite far reaching technical implications. I hope that answers your question."
IOW, "we don't wanna do this thing, because it's hard." *sticks out bottom lip*

not seeing it myself
as for ios, my local music no longer has artwork >:-|
― original bgm, Sunday, 6 April 2014 04:03 (ten years ago) link
I'll concede that this update looks and works better on my wife's shiny new iPhone than on my old iPod touch
― nitro-burning funny car (Moodles), Sunday, 6 April 2014 04:05 (ten years ago) link
The iOS app is almost usable if you start it, and don't touch anything. Don't skip tracks, don't star them, don't move anywhere else in the app. But once you do any of those, it starts hanging up, unresponsive, crashing. This is one of the worst app updates I've ever seen.

The entire Spotify mobile app QA team needs to be fired. If they even exist.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 13:46 (ten years ago) link
What device are you guys using, I am having exactly zero problems with the app but maybe that's because it's on an iphone 5
― anonanon, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 14:02 (ten years ago) link
guys I accidentally paid for a month of beats music, see you on the other side

iPhone 5. I suspect it has something to do with the number of songs I have on my most played playlist. 2269, all available offline.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 14:13 (ten years ago) link
Maybe I need a 5s.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 14:14 (ten years ago) link
works fine on 5s

fuck, almost all of Underworld has vanished now

starring stuff is now a huge PITA
― ugh (lukas), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 17:55 (ten years ago) link
I'm less worried about the technological stuff, and more about the fact that a huge chunk of their Kinks catalog seems to have vanished in a puff of smoke.
― dlp9001, Wednesday, 9 April 2014 17:58 (ten years ago) link
I logged out and logged back in on my iPod yesterday and now I have the Your Music stuff plus it's somewhat better about displaying album art in offline mode.

what's the difference between pressing the + button to add a song to your "Songs" list, vs starring a song to add it to your starred list?
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 10 April 2014 14:47 (ten years ago) link
you can browse items on Your Music by album or artist, other than that it just seems like an additional "star" list as far as I can tell

GOT IT
― markers, Thursday, 10 April 2014 15:16 (ten years ago) link
yay!
lol this looks much better
― markers, Thursday, 10 April 2014 15:17 (ten years ago) link
--this kind of looks ios7-y --kind of an improvement i guess--pity they didn't think about the bullshit layout--i don't want to individually hit 'back' n times to get to the damn menu--nor do i want a 'start playing playlist/album/search result in shuffle play' button taking up space that could instead allow shuffle and repeat options on screen--haha i'm probably meant to shake the phone or invert it or use some kind of vigorous wanking motion but fuck off
--that said i can't really imagine getting all that cross about this because, you know, all of recorded music ever is available to me through the air
― ♛ LIL UNIT ♛ (thomp), Thursday, 10 April 2014 15:37 (ten years ago) link
all of recorded music ever
kind of lol but mostly sad
― sleeve, Thursday, 10 April 2014 15:42 (ten years ago) link
why have they got that 'starred' bit at the top of the faves on the left there?? either way i do like the look of it, makes the old one look dead cramped.

It's cool how you can't tell whether shuffle is on or not except by getting your face right up to the monitor, squinting and clicking the icon repeatedly, hoping the difference between faintest gray and faintest gray gently kissed by faintest green will assert itself.
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 12 April 2014 12:34 (ten years ago) link
I miss iTunes.
― Jeff, Saturday, 12 April 2014 13:04 (ten years ago) link
so is there no way to a whole bunch of tracks to Your Music at once? looks like the most you can do is add a whole album, but you can't do a whole playlist.

well awesome, the new (?) "Save" feature basically allows you to do just this. maybe it was there all along.

I actually miss the ability to Star tracks with a single click, since I had my Starred Playlist set to store offline as per some discussion above. Still getting used to My Music.

i am using spotify right now (free month trial) and i am loving it! like how it scrobbles to last fm, very nice... im still contemplating 10 buckz a month is worth it though?

Yes. It's kind of a great deal for what you get. Almost too good to be true.
