When will Spotify make their data on Android removable/deletable?

I wonder when this will happen. It is absolutely unacceptable to just say "It's Google's fault, sorry you have to format your SD card to remove our data."If Spotify does not fix their problems, I will stop paying them. Period.

音樂類型問題

我知道Spotify擁有手機、電腦切換/操控功能,你可以在你電腦開啟的時候使用手機操控Spotify,但這當中有問題,假如你的一個"播放清單a"內有5首英文歌、5首中文歌、5首日文歌,那當你正在使用電腦播放/操作時一切都是正常的,有中文有英文日文歌,但當你電腦播放到一半換使用手機操控且"重新"再按一次"播放清單a"的隨機播放且"使用電腦播放"時就會造成一個問題了,就是spotify只會撥放一種語言的歌曲,如它只會撥放5首英文就沒了,而當我在切回電腦操控時一切又正常了,每首歌以相同的機率去撥放。 ...
