Why does spotify desktop suck on mac?

betomedrano — Wed, 31 Jan 2018 18:42:21 GMT

I've deleted the program and re-installed it about a dozen times the past few months. Works extremely well on my old PC laptop. Never has issues.

It freezes between songs, can't load playlists I'm searching for, can't sync with my phone, and delays often. It's so irritating.

All I want to do is play music. And how is it that this company **bleep** at making something work for Mac?

Any solutions out there?!

Alrighty, after downloading this patch and using AppCleaner to trash the old one, this seems to be working quite well.

Thanks!

There is no good solution for this. I have uninstalled, re-installed, changed accounts, etc numerous times. I have considered that perhaps, especially goven the latest iphone battery controversy and the fact that the 2 companies are bitter rivals, Apple is intentionally sabotaging the app on OS and iOS devices.

@Thanks for the heads up @phan_times. I'm really okay with my iphone app. It's the Mac where I organize all my music that is causing the problems.
