Amount of allowed offline devices needs to increase

Amount of allowed offline devices needs to increase

Appearently, there is a limit of how many devices can save playlists for offline playing. The limit is three devices. 

I can't be the only one to find this to be unrealisticly low. Smartphones - PCs - Laptops - Tablets, maybe a couple of each (for work and home, for example). There simply are way too many devices that people own for three devices to suffice.

Despite a few proplems and errors I have encounterred I have always felt premium subscription was worth the money, but now I don't feel like that as much. I find it harder to justify spending my money on simply playing music - which is something I used to do for free - if I feel as Spotify is holding back and not providing a service that is sufficient in serving me.    

Staff of Spotify, do you really consider it the right choice to limit your otherwise excellent service with this? And for what, really? Please, at least explain that to your costumers. 


Oh, and btw: I find that this issue kind of contradicts your advirtisment:

  • Listen on all your devices
  • Download music & listen offline
  • No ads & no commitment

Hi there! 
I do agree with you, they should do it like netflix, here at Brazil I pay almost the same thing for both things and on netflix we can have multiple profiles and can be used on different places simultaneously, but I think your topic fit better on the ideas exchange area, there you will be better supported.Hope I have helped. 

Give kudos if you think it was useful, and mark 'Accept as Solution' if it solved your problem!

Maybe the advertising is unclear, but it does not say Download music & listen offline "on all of your devices", the first statement is perfectly true.

This is something that has been discussed for a long time over on the Ideas Exchange here:
