Since the release of the new Spotify client I've seen the data usuage of the app sky rocket. A 30 min listen while walking to work seems to use up 3+ MB. This is without streaming any content, all pre downloaded. I do have Last.Fm Scrobbling enabled, but this was also running on the last version. 3MB isn't a lot to use but when you consider that some people are capped at 500MB use per month then it becomes significant use. With my current cap I'd only be able to listen to Spotify for 5 hours or so.
A more detailed description, using numbered steps
1. I leave house and disconnect from WIFI
2. Have Last.Fm Scrobbling on
3. Listen to downloaded playlist
3. Notice that 30 min listen generates about 3MB of data usage
What I expected to happen
300k of data usuage to have occured, not 3MB.
What actually happened
Not sure as not had a chance to run wireshark to see what all the data usage is. Will try without Scrobbling enabled.

Sorry if I'm a bit off topic here, but this latest update renders the app pretty much useless for me. :(
I am unfortunately visually impaired, and the new "skin" I got after the latest update removed the old look which had big buttons and better contrast (dark background)
Is there some way to go back to this version? Or add skins to make my life easier again?
(and before you forum trolls start raging, I'm typing this on a PC with magnifying software, otherwise it would be impossible)

I have an EVO HTC phone and the newest Spotify app is a mess. When I updated, I lost all of my downloaded playlist I use to play offline. I've tried to download playlist several times but they disappear. Is there a limit to number of tracks you can have on download for phone???????? The app is constantly crashing whether I'm online or offline. This app should be updated at least once a week unti you get something stable. Come on guys.

The app seems to go onlineand offline at will and/or songs stop playing after the first 3 - 5 minutes and the playque is emptied. After going back to the playlist and start it again it somtimes continues and somtimes the event rehappens. Even the downloaded songs and even if the app is set to offline mode. Playing a playlist in streammode makes it more worse. Also get a crash notification occasionaly when exiting the app with the back button (not playing)
A more detailed description, using numbered steps
1. Did the troubleshoot procedure
2. Reinstalled the app from Play Store
3. Tried it offline, online, downloaded playlist, streaming, 3g, wifi, with power cord, and battery, screen off, screen continuly on, but it does always the same (or worse)
AND
1. Open Spotify app
2. Opened a playlist.
3. Select a song to start playing
4. After 3-4- minutes song stops and play-que is gone
5. Push the back button to the playlist.
6. Tap a song again to start
7. Plays till the end or repeating at point 4.
And occasionaly:
8. Stop the music.
9. Press the backbutton till im in my phone root menu
10. App crashes. (Error reports are sended!)
What I expected to happen
That the app works properly like the old one did (and I don't ment the preview version).
What actually happened
Just as I described under the description / detailed desciption

Description
Songs in my playlists that are stored on my computer and are not in Spotify's catalogue are not being downloaded to my phone. They are grayed out and unplayable in any mode even though they show up and play fine when I play the list on the computer.
A more detailed description, using numbered steps
1.) Followed the troubleshooting steps - cleared the data, uninstalled the app, restarted the phone, reinstalled the app, downloaded the playlists
2.) Checked the playlists and discovered that the local file songs that are included in some of them were grayed out and unplayable - even in streaming mode
Did you restart your phone at step 5?
Yes
What I expected to happen
I expected the entire playlist, not just some of it, to download and be playable - both in streaming and offline modes.
What actually happened
Songs from Spotify's catalogue downloaded are playable, but songs that are found only on my computer are not.
