Half the reason I subscribed was the promise of seeing what my friends listen to. But I accidentally (Spotify does not warn you) x'd their names because I didn't feel like following them at the time. Turns out, you can NEVER find them again via spoti...
Hello, I'm using the last Kubuntu 14.10, with spotify 0.9.11.27. The client will randomly freeze any interaction with all apps. The mouse pointer still available, but I can't click anymore. The KDE app launcher is frozen too, and the rendered desktop...
