Hi,
I use an Android tablet and the Spotify app just updated itself.
Two issues I have:
i) The app now forces my tablet into portrait mode, whereas before it worked either portrait or landscape
ii) When I search for an album, I am only presented with the top 5 results. For example, if I want to listen to the Puccini opera "Tosca", when I search using the Android app I am presented with only the top 5 recordings (two results of which are actually the same). What if I want to see all the recordings of Tosca (or any other opera) to listen to? Does not just apply to classical music.
Issue ii is the biggest for me, I can live with portrait mode. But only being able to see the top 5 albums? Makes it very hard to be able to select a recording, especially for a classical music fan, where they are usually named by composer and composition name. Is there a way around this?
Cheers.
This search restriction existed in the preview version too and was noted then. Even if you use the album tag (e.g. search for album:tosca) you still only get 5 results in the Albums list. In a way this is cutting off the long tail of music, as it makes it much harder for users to find anything other than the most popular music...
It's a pity that you can't just click the ALBUMS header to expand the search list for example. As for a workaround, well, obviously try to use the desktop version to search for and manage playlists, as it gives you the most options and search features. Or if you know the name of a song on an album with a common name then search for the song instead (you can then click More > Album to view the full album the song is from).
There is also a Spotify Idea on this which you can vote on.
