on my mphone with gingerbread 2.3.6

does anyoone have a solution for my problem?

Hey, in new version this option is under consideration. However, you are not ignored by Spotify; Spotify is working hard to make a new Android app even better! In the meantime, keep an eye on the Spotify blog. http://www.spotify.com/blog/

You can see some cool stuff like Radio in Spotify for Android very soon! Now just enjoy music...

This wasnt my question, i need to sync my playlists because I work in an enviroment where i cant use the radio transmitters on my phone. 1 gb wich i have for internal storage in my phone is not enought for my playlists so i need spotify to access my memorycard.

is there no way to do this in the new android version?

As I say, this is under consideration. However I dno not know when people can see this implemented on this new app.

Spotify is surely working on a update to Android app. Hope that this update add a microsd support too.

Tis is well discussed (and complained about already) in one of the larger theses on the first page of this forum http://community.spotify.com/t5/Mobile-Android/Exit-button/td-p/79021

Please add your comment there as Spotify will take more notice (hopefully) of larger threads than thousands of small ones that keep pushing the larger threads off the top

Root your phone, then you can move the entire app to SD (and any other app for that matter).

reks: Great, so we void a warranty so we can use a feature previously implemented? why couldn't they just have left it in?

Even if you root your phone, you can't just move the files to the SD Card!

The issue Spotify has is that Android does not allow moving apps on SD card AND use it as a widget at the same time.

Ah poo.

It's unfortunately the final straw for me.  I already downgraded my subscription because the 'offline' play mode is what i wanted - I'll use on the desktop for now still, but will find another solution for the mobile app.

I don't really understand why spotify took off what is really an essential feature.

also, for spotify admins, please remove the website FAQ that tells people incorrectly that they can still do this.

yeah I agree, it should be removed.

The only solution I found is to buy a 32GB internal memory phone (Samsung Galaxy S3), instead of the 16GB internal memoery I had before!
