Limit to 'offline' playlists?

Solved!

Limit to 'offline' playlists?

I just spotted something in your FAQ about a limit of 3,333 tracks offlined? Is this true, and if so can you explain why? I realise as you need to re-sync updated tracks for all sorts of reasons, if someone has thousands of tracks offline then they could be re-syncing forever - but I have sort of got into the habit of offlining ever since the problems we had with BT throttling Spotify! It's great having a streaming service for music discovery, but here in the UK our broadband infrastructure is so flaky we can't rely on being able to use your service all the time if we don't offline. I tend to offline anything I 'collect', am I not using Spotify as you expect I should I wonder?

wow... just tried Deezer, this is what I found out

 

PROS:

1 - There's away to import playlists from spotify to deezer with this: http://spotizr.com/ tried and works

2 - Deezer app on windows 10 is MUCH faster and better integrated with the system

3 - Sound quality seems better to me, I find the sound on deezer more clear with better defined highs

 

CONS:

1  - I tried to import only a playlist with 6 songs and 1 of them was missing! This is not a nice start

2 - There are no RAMMSTEIN on Deezer! WTF!!

 

From my first impressions, Deezer looks better in terms of quality and software, but looks like the catalogue is not as good as spotify

 

EDIT 08.04.2016 15:11:

After playing around with deezer a little more, I see many basic functions are missing, like "shuffle all music", or the ability to select multiple albums and add them to a playlist.

I think right now spotify offers an overall better experience, since the software has more features, but in the near future Deezer may be better, since it has better quality sound, no offline limits and a faster, better integrated software.


As mentioned in a previous post:

 

"I've found  that when using the migration services out there, they often leave songs out that are actually available.  I've noticed this when switching between Rdio, Spotify and Deezer. It's annoying but if you manually search tracks that didn't come over you can often find them. It's the price you pay to switch unfortunately and I think it just a function of slightly different track tagging from service to service. On average when I move a playlist of 100 songs there will be at least 15 missing whether I'm migrating to or from either Spotify, Deezer or the now buried Rdio."

 

While there is no "shuffle all" button you do have "Flow". Flow basically plays random songs from your entire collection and mixes in suggestions as well. I feel like it plays 3-4 songs from my collection for every suggestion but of course that is not scientific.

 

Artist availability...no matter what service you use, you will find holes in their catalogue. If it's the wrong hole then it's the wrong service I guess. 🙂  I have both premium spotify and deezer services. Spotify comes free with my cell phone contract and Deezer I pay for separately. I listen to Deezer about 75% of the time. I exclusively listen via mobile (iOS) or through my sonos. Deezer software is head and shoulders above Spotify on both those platforms so to be fair that is the number 1 thing that drives my preference...and to circle back to the main point of this thread, if you consume music via a mobile device a 3333 song limit is both comical and sad.

Hey All,

So I'm now just over a week into my free trial of Google Play Music and
over 43 GB+ deep into downloaded, offline tunes. As promised, I'm
following up with my impressions of their subscription service vs. Spotify
Premium, now that I've got some dirt under my nails, so to speak.

To start, overall I'd say I'm very satisfied with the switch. As others
had warned may be the case, I've found no issues in finding lesser known
music. While I will give as detailed of a pro's and con's list below as
possible, the short answer is I'm quite happy with Google Play Music, and
would recommend it over Spotify Premium until they dump the ridiculous
download restrictions.

PRO'S:

- 43+ GB of offline music on my device and counting. While I don't have an
exact song count, conservatively it's roughly 7,000+ songs, and could be
almost 11,000, depending on individual track quality. A word on that..

- Songs sound great! The offline music I've been listening to sounds just
as good as the Spotify "extreme" quality setting downloaded music.
Streaming music also is of a high audio caliber, when listening to it on my
high speed, home internet connection. There's actually little noticeable
difference between the hard copies and cloud based songs in that WiFi
location. Quality of streaming via cell is also very good, but that has
many factors that come to bear, based on your device, your carrier's
network capability and any data speed policies they may implement.

- The layout of the user interface (UI/GUI) is just fine, despite other's
previous gripes about it. I prefer the Spotify GUI for now, but Google has
proven to be a close second, closing in on equal (in terms of layout only-
pls see con's section). I think there may have been some app updates since
other users posted those unflattering remarks on the GUI. One big plus is
that with Spotify, despite having a very large screen on my Samsung Note
phone, much of the time, when trying to access the track menu, to add a
song to a queue or playlist for ex, I'd end up scrolling the list
inadvertently, as the position of the menu button would constantly interact
with the scroll feature (even while using my precision tip stylus)... This
is not an issue at all with the layout on Google, but was a source of
constant irritation on Spotify.

- Making playlists has been very easy, and they can be made pubic or
private upon creation. You may also add a description to the playlist
title, to help further describe its musical contents (good if you're like
me with many lists, or you plan on sharing it with the community).

- Your listening activities are private by default, so you do not need to
direct a "private session" like you might want to do on Spotify.

- Although I have what I'd deem fairly eclectic tastes(from lots of popular
stuff, to gospel, guerrilla house, and many global music varieties), I've
been able to find roughly 97% of the music collection I'd complied via
Spotify. If you're a big didgeridoo fan, or are heavy into auto-tuned
Danish hip hop, not sure if that statement will hold true for you, but for
all readily imaginable music genera, I've had virtually no issues in
grabbing the tracks I seek.

- Price is exactly equal to Spotify Premium subscription pricing, but for
$5 more (USD) I believe, you can get a family plan, allowing 5 users (I
think- it may be 4 + You = 5) in your family the same benefits of a single
premium member's subscription.

- With your Google Play Music subscription, you get a free YouTube Red
subscription (not a trial one, but rather a full subscription concurrent
with the play music one), allowing for ad free viewing of content on
YouTube, and also access to YouTube paid content. This is pretty cool I'm
finding- in terms of music alone, you can watch the song you're listening
to being performed if you wish.

- You can see and then edit any randomized song queue with a GUI button
push, which makes for a great listening experience, as you can take random
groupings of songs, then dump those you're not feeling at the moment. You
are also then easily able to make that edited queue into a playlist. If
listening to tunes in a playlist already, you're then able to tweak it as
you listen from the playing song screen... On Spotify, at least on my
phone, I had to navigate to a whole other menu tree to mess around with the
playlist I was enjoying.

- Most popular music songs come built in with a video accompaniment on the
GUI, via a YouTube-looking button push, allowing as I said, you to watch
the song being performed while you listen, or to view the official music
video (if that's your thing).

- While not as on point as Spotify, there are good recommendations for like
styled music being enjoyed or searched... I think this feature will
continue to improve with use, and as I continue to rate songs with the
"thumbs up" or down buttons on the playing song GUI.

- If you use Chrome as your internet browser, there's great integration
with your computer, and unlike Spotify, I've been able to have songs play
on my mobile device and desktop at the same time, without forced log outs
or migration from a master playback device (if listening on my phone, if I
wanted to listen to Spotify on my PC, I either had to kill my phone player,
or broadcast to my PC from my phone- a silly step in my opinion, and one
I've yet to encounter on Google Play Music).

- You can broadcast your playing songs to a multitude of other music/video
devices, much like Spotify offers.

- When you search, you get song, album, and artist results, but also video
results too... A feature I'm finding pretty cool, esp because you can view
the media via the native app, and not have to open another app to play it.
Also, because of the heavy voice integration by Google across most of their
mobile (Android OS) devices, with my phone, I can voice search my queries.

- For Android devices, I think the lock screen and notification panel
controls are much better, allowing for skip and pause, but also back
track. There's also no annoying "x" (close) button, which I'd constantly
hit by accident when trying to skip a song on the locked screen while
driving... Forcing me to unlock my phone to regain control of the playback.

- Being an Android phone owner, as well as a pretty wide user of Google
products, it seems that Play Music generally integrates better between my
phone and other life facets that include use of Google's offerings, than
Spotify ever did.

- You can upload up to 50,000 songs of your own onto the platform,
integrating those old, ripped CD's from yesteryear, or even iTunes
collections and other, legit mp3's into Google Play Music.

- Apparently NO download/offline music limit to speak of!! I was also told
this by a Google phone rep when considering switching to their service,
just to confirm it (goodbye 3,333 songs only!).

CON'S:

- The GUI, while designed fine for my needs in terms of layout, is slow to
respond to inputs for anything from skipping tracks, to rating a song, or
adding it to a playlist. I've tried improving response speeds by closing
all other open apps, but it had no noticeable difference on the slow GUI
response... This is with a premium, quad-core processor device.

- Downloading music takes longer. MUCH longer than Spotify. This could be
due to quality values set for the download, but if so, I've yet to find a
setting allowing for differing download qualities.

- Downloads are done on an entire album basis, and not offered by
individual song unless you purchase that single song (unless I'm missing
something major here). While I've been able to shed some unwanted music
from the whole album downloads where I only wanted a few tracks, I could
only do so after downloading the entire album, which both consumes time and
physical device memory. I suppose this has something to do with Google's
licencing agreements, and while it's a pain, because I've got an Android
phone with a large, expandable, micro SD memory card capacity, I think it's
a fair price to pay for unlimited offline listening- it is a pain however,
so on the con side.

- Streaming music over cellular data seems to be a bit bloated, eating more
data than Spotify streaming does, but this is a purely anecdotal
observation, and is not at all based on my actually comparing data use
between the two platforms while streaming like songs.

- It may seem topical, but on Android lollipop (v 5.1.1), you don't get
album art of the playing song on your locked screen like with Spotify, but
rather only on the opened app's GUI.

- While you may upload 50,000 songs of your own as I'd mentioned, this DOES
NOT include Spotify songs, and may not include those collections spawned
from other subscription services as well (Songs purchased from iTunes,
Amazon and Google's stores do work however). Any legit mp3 should transfer
according to Google, but Spotify uses a ".file" designation for their music
tracks, baffling Google's upload feature (and my PC player as well). Also,
if you deactivate your Google Play Music subscription, your downloaded
songs automatically delete.

- While the video feature is cool, I'd wager that it's this feature which
slows down the response of The GUI, and as of this first week, I have not
figured out how to turn the video loading off when playing a song (the
video won't play automatically- that still takes a button push, but it does
seem to buffer the video on a song before allowing playback of the track).
This I think adds to my general complaint of slow response time by the GUI.

- Unlike Spotify, there's no cross fade setting, so between that and the
lagging GUI, there are usually pauses between tracks being played.

----

This is it for now! If anyone has questions not addressed above, I'm very
happy to try to answer them. I might issue one more comprehensive update
if I find I've changed my feelings on aspects of this review, or if
anything said above proves to be incorrect. Hope this breakdown is
helpful, and again, unless this download limit shenanigans doesn't really
matter to you, I endorse the switch from Spotify Premium to a Google Play
Music subscription after putting it thru it's initial paces. Regardless of
your provider preference- Happy listening to one and all!

I've just hit the 3333 limit, and I've invested in high capcity hardware to contain my music offline which is only partially usable.

 

I am a Director of Product Managment; Spotify, please, you need to ensure your Product Marketing teams are feeding this VOC back into your Dev teams, as the value proposition vs your competitors is significantly erroded.

 

This is a showstopper for me; I am now investigating migration options to other services. 

I only joined Spotify a few days ago on a premium trial and I've already reached the stupid limit. Based on this I won't be continuing. As an Australian that lives in Papua New Guinea I get charged more at every turn and it really infuriates me. Firstly there is no indication of this limit when they advertise the premium subscription, secondly they don't give you a count of the number of songs you have downloaded anywhere. Internet is really expensive and crappy in PNG so that means I would be paying over $USD110 a month just to stream "unlimited" music - which would increase depending on how much data I use streaming online. And then there is the issue of the country and travel and how long you are in a place which I really can't even figure out. I travel a lot. The thing the music industry and movie industries need to understand is that when you put all these BS restrictions in place, make content unavailable to Australians even when we try to pay for it they are just ensuring the continuation of our piracy behaviour

Don't know the international particulars, but after many months now of using Google Play Music, I'm wholeheartedly endorsing it. The added YouTube Red premium subscription you get for free with it sweetened the deal a whole lot more for me, as I never have had to watch an ad on YouTube since I've joined, which is awesome- not to mention the free access to their premium content. While I still notice the mobile data use is a bit higher with Google than with Spotify (and given your local internet situation, that may factor in), it's not a huge difference... If you account for the fact that I'm at over 50 GB of downloaded music at present, then as long as you've got Wi-Fi, you can limit your mobile data use by downloading as much of the Google Play Music library as you'd like. The Spotify download limit is complete BS, and I too was taken in by their false advertising, only to be extremely let down, so do yourself a favor- kill your Spotify premium subscription ASAP and get on Google Play Music... It's a much better service, without any hidden, sneaky garbage to deal with.

You would think that Spotify and internet/mobile carriers would be crazy for unlimited offline song downloads instead of restreaming the same song over and over again putting overhead on wireless networks. Simply download it once to a device and done.

Why is the limit so low though? Didn't Apple have a limlit of 25,000 and inceease it to 100,000? Is it something to do wtih legal rights and affordability and Spotify cant compete with them?

 

The limit should be increased to at least 10,000, I don't want to move over to Apple, but the limit is poor here.

I'm not a huge iOS user, so I cannot confirm this, but I'm pretty sure
Apple music premium has no limit and if they do, it's very generous. I can
say for sure that Google Play Music Premium is entirely unlimited, and
given those facts, either service is hands down a much better choice in
terms of device-based, offline listening. You're correct that Spotify's
limit is a function of licencing/royalties, but they are a large enough
company, with a robust enough subscriber base that they have no excuse to
both not renegotiate their terms, or to be falsely advertising the
capabilities/limits of their so-called premium service. After many month's
use of Google Play Music Premium, and 53+ GB of downloaded tunes so far, I
can't stress enough how much better their service is. When you factor in
the free, added YouTube Red Premium subscription that is part of the deal,
it's no contest between Spotify & Google- especially as they're priced
equally, and with Google, for $5.00-6.00 more per month, your whole family
gets the same, premium subscription benefits as you do. As my detailed
review suggests, their GUI is a bit sluggish at times, but that's been
improving on my mobile device (not a factor at all on any of my pc's), and
I'd wager much of that lagging response lies in what Android devices you're
using, as performance specs vary widely across that platform's many
devices. Do yourself a favor and ditch Spotify ASAP- whether you migrate to
Apple or Google, you'll end up with an indisputably better deal for the $
spent. Happy listening!

well i have got the spotify since u guys started up now i dont knowe 10-15 years later u make a limit? why is that?

Let's suppose I want to make a party in the woods with my friends,
and that's gonna be a huge party we're planning for years,
we want to smoke weed all day and all night for arround 5 days and have some fun,
also we like grindcore a lot, the average duration of each track of this genre is like 1 minute, maybe 1:30, we've created a Grindcore playlist in spotify for this purposes.

Also we're kind of a good listeners, so we can detect any repeated song.

So if you give us a limit of just 3,333 songs, let's do the math:

3,333 per 1.25 minutes of each track equals 4,166.25 minutes of music

4,166.25 minutes divided by 60 minutes (one hour) equals: 69.43 hours

And 69.43 divided by 24 hours a day equals = 2.8 days

So, We'll not gonna make it!

In short terms, I really like a lot the service but the limit sucks, and not because I want to hear all the music I've added as offline, but because I have moods, any kind of mood, also I don't have the time to categorise my songs into playlists, And of course I don't want to pay a lot for data charges.

You should update the limit.

What a waste of time to set a limit on devices???

Thinking in looking for other providers....

I switched to Google Play Music Premium (just means I am a paid
subscriber)... It is the same per-month cost as Spotify for a single user
subscription, has as much (if not much more) music content available than
Spotify, has *unlimited* mobile device downloads (I have 73+ GB of music
downloaded on my Android Phone currently), has higher quality/ad-free
streaming than both Spotify Google Play Music Basic (non paid use), works
on all platforms and syncs with all signed in devices/browsers, includes a
YouTube Red Subscription for no added fee (means ZERO adds- ever on all
YouTube content from signed in devices/browsers & access to their premium
content), features YouTube-based music videos for most modern day music
from within Google Play Music App, has great playlist/sleep/sound EQ
customization features, an easy to use interface, curated
playlists/collections of music based on tastes/mood/time/activity, you can
upgrade to a family plan to include 5 other subscribers under your account
for an additional $5.99/month (I believe- it may be 6.99 USD, but no more
than that) & there are *many other* added benefits not listed here which
make it a far superior music subscription service- my favorite being that
you can both voice search for a track, or just have your phone simply
listen to any music playing around you to then identify it & send you to
that track/album/artist. If you're an iOS/iPhone user, Apple Music is also
a better option than Spotify in terms of downloaded content, however my
wife uses Apple products (phone/tablet) & utilizes our Family Google Play
Music Subscription with no issues whatsoever across her iOS devices. It's
not even a fair comparison- do yourself a favor by switching to either
Google Play or Apple Music & put your monthly subscription payments to such
far better use than giving it to Spotify! ​

This is definitely not a "solution".

 

is there a way to increase the download limit?

 

This thread was originally created 5 years ago. Our complaints have kept up, and multiple suggestion pages have been put up and closed over these years, labeled with the excuse that it "could not be changed in the near future". It is now 2017, again 5 years later than the creation of this thread. Spotify, what has changed over these 5 years? Is your definition of the near future much different than ours? Please, as paying customers, we'd love to know. 

Pandora, Deezer, Google Music, Apple Music don't limit anything, why Spotify has this low limit, make it at least 10 times more.

Let's boycott Spotify. Create an anti Spotify facebook page until they give their paying customers what they want.

I couldn't take it anymore  and have just cancelled    after 5 years of making do with 3333 songs per device.

 

I never changed before because  the range of music was much better  with spotify but now that is not true.

 

 

I am almost switching too. Its unbearable.
