https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Mac/Video-ads-way-too-loud/m-p/1487821#M110696 <LI-SPOILER>&nbsp;</LI-SPOILER><P>This is ridiculous. I absolutely hate Spotify. They air ads too often. Video ads are aired too often and WAY to loudly. I have ditched Spotify in favor of Amazon Music and Sound Cloud. For those of you looking for a better, free music service, I suggest switching to Sound Cloud. They don't have as many songs available but their ads are much less fequent and far less obtrusive. Also, I'd sooner pay $100 per year for Prime (which includes two million songs, and a lot of other benefits) rather than paying $10 a month for Spotify. If you calculate, Spotify actually costs more than Amazon Prime -- imagine that! Anyone using Spotify Premium is wasting money. I also have reason to think their entire application (desktop and mobile) is HTML/JavaScript/CSS based. It must be programmed inefficiently because while Amazon Music and Sound Cloud function well on my devices, Spotify hogs memory and processing. Very dissappointed. Making money is one thing but "money making" has been carried way too far. Something to point out is Spotify has more songs available than any other music provider (well, Apple Music is close). However, I'd rather have fewer songs available and have a pleasant experience. Spotify may consider having more paid account options. One account gives you all songs, one down offers fewer songs but at a lower cost, and then keep the free option available with ads (though less introsive than current).</P> Thu, 03 Nov 2016 17:47:34 GMT www139 2016-11-03T17:47:34Z
