Limited Music Choice, even with premium?

Limited Music Choice, even with premium?

Hello,

 

I recently unsubscribed my Spotify Premium Account linked to Facebook (it's back to free now) and created another Premium one without Facebook.

So, I just wanted to start a playlist and while looking up the music I realised the results I have are much more restricted than with the FB account and that there are no arrows allowing to see more results.

Do I have to change settings or is this due to lack of Facebook?

Would be grateful for any advice because this is kind of annoying.

No, you shouldn't be restricted due to the lack of a Facebook connection. Can you provide an example at all?

Hm wait a minute, I'll make Screenshots to illustrate the problem.

This is how it looks like when I use Spotify without FB

And this is how it looks like with FB

As you can see, the choice is much broader in the latter. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey!

 

Doesn't look like you're doing anything wrong - The actual search results seem to match up, but the way information is presented at the top seems to be more focused without the Facebook login.

 

Nothing to be worried about in terms of access to content, as this is just an A/B test to see which one seems to be used more. This will actually change in a newer client which is rolling out at the moment. All the actual search results below the "Playlists / Album / Artists" box should be exactly the same.

Hm ok, thought so this could indeed be a newer client. Do you know if in this newer one there is any option to view further results, since the browsing arrows are missing and the "Playlist / Album / Artists" - Title isn't hyperlinked either? Or is it still WIP and will be appearing soon?

 

If there's more results, you'll get a "See All" option - Or the title will be linked. See below!

Hm ok, thanks a lot.

It's still strange since there are much more results for 'Lord of the Rings' in the free FB account than in the Spotify Premium Account and the "See All" option is missing.

I just checked 'Britney Spears' as well, just to see if the result would be any different but no luck.

For your information: I am using the german client. Could the missing "See all" option be related to this fact?
