Can’t even seek through songs.
Looks like this is India only?
Informative and Unfortunate.
It was already like this in Europe when I began to use Spotify in 2015. I do not hate it because the app’s free tier is already unusable to me due to the adverts.
All these companies want to control what content you consume. Just walk away.
Just listen to the radio then instead of complaining here?
You can actually do both, at the same time too
I thought complaining about corporate greed was the guise under which we here on Lemmy collectively demanded everything we want for free?
No.
Spotify is garbage, last time I used it it was missing basic features like sleep timer, play count, song rating, and history. I buy my music and use poweramp instead.
Next update will show text lyrics in free version. If you want to play the audio you better have premium
So Spotify couldnt become profitable just by hawking my personal info and invading my privacy? What kinda shit company are they?

I know, lots of services are currently going to shit, but quite the timing with Bandcamp imploding, too…
I have the family premium plan and honestly love it. I haven’t downloaded an mp3 in years because Spotify is so convenient. As far as subscription services go, this one is top tier for me.
Now when we look at movie streaming… well that’s what the music streaming could have been like. What an absolute mess.
The free version is completely useless on smartphone. I hope the limitations won’t come to the desktop version
My biggest issue with Spotify was that they were changing the main screen layout what seemed like every other week. Like bro I don’t do podcasts so keep them off my homepage.
I ended up canceling and going to Apple Music because we were already paying for their other services and it was cheaper with their bundled membership. I also have a Plexamp server with all of the music I have ripped over the years and actually prefer that to Apple Music
