My Question or Issue

My Release Radar suddenly became locked behind premium. I can still listen to the songs in it but I can't choose what I want to listen to specifically. It's stuck on shuffle and I can't rewind songs anymore. I've tried clearing cache and logging out but nothing worked. Did something change?

Seriously Spotify? Now you take away listing to any song on release radar? Nobody wants to spend time listing through a bunch of random songs. When I see a song by an artist I like I don’t want to have to shuffle to hear it. This can’t be getting you that many new subscribers so please stop.

My Question or Issue

Did Spotify take away the ability for free users to choose a song from the “Made For You” category? This was the only thing that made free Spotify worth it to me. I understand the limitations between free and premium but taking that away as a whole has officially made me move on from the app.
