In other news car accidents have skyrocketed with drivers claiming they were watching music videos while driving.
As long as I only need to hit the NO THANKS setting once and forget it exists, great. But I don’t feel like that’s likely to be the case
I don’t know how else to express to them how little I want this. All I want is for Spotify to focus on music streaming. That is it.
I would love it if they focused on making their 320kbps stream sound as good as other services.
for real. when I play my records I hear so much more. it makes me wanna stop using spotify
I just canceled my subscription and now just using Plex and Navidrome to listen to my own library.
I keep spotify nearly exclusively for “release radar” and for the song radio/album/band radio features. I’ve found what have turned out to be one of my all time top favorite bands through song radio (Metric, the song was Combat Baby, by searching for song radio with Tony The Beat by The Sounds).
Not sure I ever would have gotten into them without the spotify feature. I used to use pandora for these things, but I’ve found spotify to be quite a bit better, personally
Have you checked out Spotube on GitHub? I just recently started using it but it’s a Spotify front-end which actually consumed Spotify API data but sources all the music from YouTube. No ads and no Spotify premium required.
that sounds pretty wild… my wife has an iphone so may want to switch to apple music, which would mean farewell to the family plan we now use, so I’ll check it out if it comes to it
If you’re on Android, also check out https://github.com/Team-xManager/xManager
I don’t mind this since it’s music focused, but I wish the features were rolling out just as much on purely the music side of there service. It feels so lopsided compared to everything else they’re trying to do.
Videos of live performances would be cool… but straight music videos? Who wants that?
Sometimes I’ll turn on music videos if I have music going on my TV (using youtube music). I think it could be cool on spotify too, but not the biggest deal to me. I think what’s really needed more than adding new features, is updating their existing software. For example on the Apple TV, the Spotify app is lacking features that every other TV-platform app has. The controls when listening on spotify never fade away and leave just the artwork when listening and the app overall just feels like it’s been left behind compared to the others.
I agree, If I were to chromecast spotify to my TV, videos would be nice (like youtube music, which I moved to spotify from). And the spotify app on Xbox sounds different than other spotify apps. So I pretty much have the same reason they should and the same reason they shouldn’t.
