Apparently, Spotify's design group referred to the old color as "broccoli," but whatever they called it, it stood apart from most other app icons (especially on iOS).

If that was broccoli, this is mint chocolate chip.

I'm have OCD about storage space and my usage on my stupid phone. That's why it kills me that there's no way to clear the cache. No way to remove what you downloaded last week but decided you don't need this week. You're stuck with it until you delete and reinstall!
― calstars, Thursday, 18 June 2015 01:48 (eight years ago) link
yep. so i delete and reinstall about once a month.

Right. And then you have to re-download the stuff you still want. Ehhhh

To be fair, not just a Spotify problem--all apps are like that, aren't they?

I don't have that problem with my Spotify app - but then, like the desktop app, it's at least two years old (it even has starring, woo).

I know you can clear an app's cache on Android, but I don't remember if you can do it on an iPhone.

Prompted to install a new version this morning. Still won't load my local files. C'mon Apple Music!!!
Does spotify publish a change log for these new versions? Would love to see the features they remove each time instead of just stumbling upon them and upping my rage randomly throughout the day.

Google music lets you manage (remove) downloads. Not sure if apple will allow this.

To count as a play, does it matter whether or not the song is saved for offline use?
In a vacation scenario in which you're offline for a week but listening to tracks -- and then you come home and go back online -- does the app upload all the usage information at that point?
― calstars, Saturday, 20 June 2015 12:35 (eight years ago) link

Yes, offline listening gets logged offline and then reported when you next connect.

wait this can't be right -- you're telling me if you make an album available offline, it's there until you delete and reinstall Spotify and there's absolutely nothing that can be done about it?
also how fucked is it that you can't view album or track lengths in iOS, what the hell is this shit?
