Release Notes - Spotify for Android (0.7.3)

Goodman — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 13:02:47 GMT

Android Release Notes

What's new in version 0.7.3

New: Say hello to Spotify Connect. Listen to music on your Connect-enabled speakers, and use your mobile to control the music.
Fixed: Lots of bugs and nasty things.
Known issues: Images do not load properly on Android 4.4 Kitkat. We're working on it!

Notes

We've changed the way we roll out ~~features~~ updates to users, so you might already see a new date, but ~~previous update and/or release notes in the Play Store for a couple days, following a new update~~ still see the previous version and/or release notes in the Play Store for a ~~couple days~~ while, following a new update.
As always, if you're having trouble with an update, please always make sure to go through the [Android] Troubleshooting Spotify steps before posting

Thanks but Spotify Connect isn't interesting guys - we want Chromecast.

Chromecast and album art on kitkat fixed!

If you don't want to loose others tons of user (as rdio just did) you should refund this month of un-premium service. I said all

I absolutely agree. A free month of "Premium" should be offered to customers experiencing this issue that has gone on for far too long.

Spotify have done nothing but aggravate their customers (proof: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Android/Android-4-4-Spotify-doesnt-load-images/td-p/576494) by ignoring the several questions I have posted to the Twitter @SpotifyCares account. (The most ironic name imaginable), and providing the most pathetic customer support for a subscription based app I have ever experienced.

How come developers of free apps in the Play store release KitKat fixes in a timely manner, while Spotify (The company who charges £120 per year per person for a sub-standard service) can't?

Could you please also update the direct download on http://download.spotify.com/android/SpotifyAndroid.apk?

This is insane. 20 days from KitKat release and Album Art isn't fixed yet.

Hi there, about the previous/next song buttons that disappear on the lockscreen, are you working on it?

Let me guess: all your developers have an iPhone and are wondering what all the fuss is about? How are the kitkat bugs still not fixed with this update?

Re: Release Notes - Spotify for Android (0.7.3)

Guess what app works perfeclty with KitKat AND supports Chromecast?

Google Play Music.

Has anyone got the update? Play store does not offer it for any of my devices.

milesg — Wed, 20 Nov 2013 16:03:31 GMT

Are you guys kidding?

You released a new version 3 weeks after 4.4 was released and you didn't fix the problems with cover art?

Never mind Spotify Connect - fix the existing features first!

Spotify Connect for Android: great! Thanks. I was waiting for this.

I just wish I would already see the update on the Play Store...

I think all hell would break loose if google's own streaming service didn't work on their own operating system.

I can't see the update for both the Play Store and the mobile browser apk.

Spotify is doing staged rollouts, so it might take a few days until you get the update.

Re: Release Notes - Spotify for Android (0.7.3)

Sheugel — Thu, 21 Nov 2013 15:12:12 GMT

Ok, in my country, the version 0.7.2 is dated from 19/11 in the Play Store, which means 20 days after the beginning of the rollout. I think I must be patient before I have this one. Shame...

Have you fixed the fact that equalizers also dont seem to work with Spotify in KitKat? This as well as the artwork issue are preventing me using Spotify atm because the vast majority of my usage is on mobile. Incidentally it should be noted that Deezer's app works perfectly on every version of android Ive tried, including KitKat. And they're running a half-price offer atm. As a long time Spotify Premium subscriber even my patience is wearing thin on the total lack of attention paid to pretty big issues with your apps.

Using Google Nexus 7. Problem with album artwork and gapless playback. The album artwork I can do without for a couple of weeks, but the lack of gapless playback is a feature I can't do without.

@hakonanes The missing images on android 4.4 is being investigated as mentioned in this thread. Did the 4.4 introduce a new problem with gapless playback?
