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.

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.

10 minute limit means White Light/White Heat with no "Sister Ray"
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
― markers, Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:03 (twelve years ago) link
It sucks, but at some point the diminishing returns of supporting older OS's and PowerPCs just don't make sense.
― L.P. Hovercraft (WmC), Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:06 (twelve years ago) link
I guess I don't understand not being on the most recent stable OS, esp in the Apple world where OS updates cost like $30
― now I have to imagine your penis (DJP), Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:07 (twelve years ago) link
like for Windows I totally get waiting until you upgrade the hardware since the OS upgrades are well over $100 but OSX is cheap
― now I have to imagine your penis (DJP), Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:08 (twelve years ago) link
I'm with you, I need to upgrade mine anyway.
I guess I just saw those numbers and thought they weren't going backwards as far as they actually are.

― now I have to imagine your penis (DJP), Thursday, August 25, 2011 5:07 PM
this is how i break it down to an extent -- i was on lion the day it was released
i do get that some ppl have their reasons for not upgrading right away though
― markers, Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:13 (twelve years ago) link
ha yes, that is why I said "stable"
not going to Lion until 2012
― now I have to imagine your penis (DJP), Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:13 (twelve years ago) link
OTM
Sorry Spotify, I still <3 you.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:15 (twelve years ago) link
jeez they're up to 10.7 now? I never bothered to get Snow Leopard.

My Intel mac doesn't allow it to go beyond 10.4
― Vaginalogue Bubblebath (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 25 August 2011 21:22 (twelve years ago) link
EXACTLY, and no I do not have money to buy even a used Mac from the last few years.
― sleeve, Thursday, 25 August 2011 22:33 (twelve years ago) link
same with my gf. to add to the misery, i recently bought her an iphone, but she can't put music on it because it requires a version iTunes that her Mac can't handle.
― IT IS EXECUTION (Z S), Friday, 26 August 2011 00:27 (twelve years ago) link
wait, you have an intel Mac that can't upgrade? I know the old power pc macs can't run certain software but I've never heard of an intel not being able to. Is it a ram thing? Ram is pretty cheap.
― brotherlovesdub, Friday, 26 August 2011 14:58 (twelve years ago) link
I have to believe that was a typo and he meant PowerPC.
― L.P. Hovercraft (WmC), Friday, 26 August 2011 15:04 (twelve years ago) link
yep mine is a lol 800 MHZ G4. I'm guessing I only have a year or two before I'll be forced to upgrade in some way.

If that David Guetta ad doesn't get off my screen I'm going to say a bad word.
― Halal Spaceboy (WmC), Wednesday, 31 August 2011 14:41 (twelve years ago) link
I can't wait until the get targeted ads that match up to what you listen to most often, tailored to your tastes a little better.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 14:46 (twelve years ago) link
otm
the michelle branch and trancey "day-o" cover (sort of) always have me lolin' tho.
― original bgm, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 15:21 (twelve years ago) link
ugh, those two ads always have me lolin', that is.
I mean, I know its because they only have like a small handful of ads to rotate at this point, but it would be nice if the ads that popped were at least in the same genre as what you are listening to. I'd much rather have, say, an Iron Maiden ad pop up when I'm listening to a Decapitation album than Tinie Tempah, y'know? So jarring sometimes.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 15:25 (twelve years ago) link
there's a pretty easy way to get rid of the ads you know...
― sonderangerbot, Wednesday, 31 August 2011 15:27 (twelve years ago) link
I've found it VERY difficult to listen to ambient/improv stuff on spotify because of the ads. totally kills the vibe.
