some of the bugs are pretty funny -- they were just trying to cut into baroness with a michelle branch ad, but it said it "couldn't play the track" or something, where "track" meant their ad
― markers, Saturday, 20 August 2011 18:43 (twelve years ago) link
so i had to click on the next track in the album, and baroness just started playing again
I don't use this to play mp3s I have, just stuff I don't have.

Lately spotify hasn't had any of the stuff I look for on it, but there's enough stuff saved in my to-listen playlist that I can chill until I forget to care about those other things I can't find.
The social aspect has yet to be useful to me.

no Crass, no Angry Samoans... but they do have Michael Hurley's Bellemeade Sessions, which I had been looking for for years and had never heard.

there's quite a lot of hurley on there for some reason! hate how i can never tell what stuff is just on my drive and what i can link to though.

Biggest fail is this 10 minute song thing.
so, what is this?
currently listening to miles davis' "he loved him madly" and that's 32:12. is it a region thing? I'm in the US.

it's a metadata issue affecting stuff from universal music group iirc; it may be fixed at some point.

Where did ZE Records go?

10 minute limit means White Light/White Heat with no "Sister Ray"
― Viriconium Island Baby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 22 August 2011 20:42 (twelve years ago) link
Hmm...even though I have Sister Ray in my iTunes I still can't play it in Spotify.
― Can't Stop the Rop (seandalai), Monday, 22 August 2011 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, thats super annoying. Quite a few of those 10 minute plus tracks I actually have in my library can't be played.

been loving this, have been playing a lot of 2011 music for the first time ie Cults.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 05:00 (twelve years ago) link
is anyone else having lots of "can't play next track" issues? it seems to be happening when it wants to play an ad but instead just stops playing everything all together.
― (gr8080), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
yes, you just have to click on the next song or whatever
― markers, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 19:27 (twelve years ago) link
i had the same problem, but i was trying to listen to music from a different room and was getting really annoyed that it seemed like i had to click on each song in order to hear it. that's kinda weird and not very useful.
― it was pleasant and delightful, just like (La Lechera), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 19:34 (twelve years ago) link
I get it too. makes the ads extra annoying. maybe that's the point!
― dmr, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 19:45 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, happening constantly for me as well
― original bgm, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, its definitely happening a lot more frequently.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
it seems like i'm getting less ads when it happens tho-- i don't mind ads as much as i mind having to click to the next track LOL FIRST WORLD PROBS
― (gr8080), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 19:51 (twelve years ago) link
Someone at Spotify central should figure at how to delete those songs properly instead of leaving these ghost tracks around.
― Viriconium Island Baby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 23 August 2011 20:56 (twelve years ago) link
Seems like they posted a message five hours ago about being glad to report that they will soon fix the "can't play current track bug" which is hopefully the very thing we are complaining about.
― Viriconium Island Baby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 03:28 (twelve years ago) link
bugs aside, they're basically killing it, so i don't care too much

― IT IS EXECUTION (Z S), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 03:46 (twelve years ago) link
i would rather just click to play the next track instead of hearing those commercials.

There is a distinct lack of Jonzun Crew on spotify. Sometimes I just want to listen to Jonzun crew, you know?

The Internet really let me down there - I was convinced before I got to the end that the first comment was going to be "Paul Simon sucks!"
Handy wee guide though, thanks upto11
― Um yeah, hi, that's (onimo), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 16:20 (twelve years ago) link
Hope they do fix it, because today it has been happening with every single ad.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 16:35 (twelve years ago) link
Okay now it just happens every single track. Its like Spotify knows it hasn't played you an ad lately, so it just keeps trying after every single song.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 16:43 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, although it sucks, there are at least a handful of positive aspects as well. Like that one.

FUCK YOU SPOTIFY
In order to give Spotify users the best possible experience, we’re constantly improving the Spotify desktop application. Every so often, these advances push Spotify beyond the capabilities of some older Macintosh computers.
In a few months’ time, this process will affect Macs with the following system properties:
OS version: Mac OS X versions earlier than earlier than 10.5Processor: PowerPC Macintosh (regardless of OS version)
(You can find information about your own Mac by accessing "About this Mac" under the Apple menu.)
We’re really sorry if you’re affected by this change. For the time being, you can still use Spotify on these Macs – you just won’t receive new feature updates. Ultimately, Spotify will cease to be available for these systems, but not just yet.
Kind regards,The Spotify Team

it is really annoying when you hit clean versions of albums
― now I have to imagine your penis (DJP), Thursday, 25 August 2011 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
it'd be cool if there were some reverse parental controls type of feature where you could just say, if there's an explicit version of a song, give me the explicit version instead of the clean version
― markers, Thursday, 25 August 2011 20:53 (twelve years ago) link
Yep, fuck you Spotify. Now that I won't be able to use you on my home Mac you are completely useless to me. Kindly fuck off and I hope your business model is a failure.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 25 August 2011 20:56 (twelve years ago) link
yay Spotify, thank you for catering to me and my technology magpie demographic
― now I have to imagine your penis (DJP), Thursday, 25 August 2011 20:57 (twelve years ago) link
jon why can't you use it on your home mac
― markers, Thursday, 25 August 2011 20:58 (twelve years ago) link
Well, I'm not 100% sure until I get home, but I thought I had 10.4. Now that I've done a little research, I might be okay though. But still, think that pretty much sucks that they'd just say "WHOOPS SORRY YOU CAN'T USE IT AT ALL", rather than at least trying to allow a slimmed down version or something.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:00 (twelve years ago) link
Who, in 2011, doesn't make their software at least a little backwards compatible?
Is it wrong to think this might be a little "fuck you" to Apple?
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
why aren't you on 10.6?
― now I have to imagine your penis (DJP), Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
That's why I retracted a bit, I think that is what I have. Whatever, I still think its a bit of a dick move.

spotify requires leopard, which was released in fall 2007 -- that seems reasonable
