Why does Spotify create so much cache on android phones? Fix it or loose customers.

I, too, have the same issue...

 

I noticed my 32GB SD filled up & after indexing my storage, my Spotify cache directory is a whooping 9.2GB.

 

Im not opposed to caches & request an option to specify a limit on the Android client like the Mac.

 

I just switched from Pandora & hate to ding Spotify for not addressing issues pointed out publicly on these boards in a timely manner...

Well, same here. From night to day my cell phone says the internal storage was full and I had no idea why. I deleted all the songs downloaded from spotify to free some space and reinstalled the application that has only 32mb originally. Today, without downloading any music, it is already occupying 900mb only in cache and this does not make sense! I'm just using the streaming service, I did not download any music exactly to find out where this absurd consumption of space came from. This is pathetic. It's like downloading songs worth more than listening to streaming.
