To be fair, I can understand why this may happen. However I would rather jump off a bridge than listen to a track from Skrillex. Please assist
Say, I want to search for the band named Band. How do I do it without getting the millions of bands with the word "band" in their name? (Yes, I know there is a band called The Band, but searching with the phrase artist:"the band" does not make the re...
Hi, I know this has been posted before but I thought I would again because that post hasn't helped. Up until 3 months ago Spotify worked well on the latest Linux mint with KDE desktop (32bit) but I am now unable to open the desktop as I get failed to...
I've been using the Spotify Linux Preview build for the last few months, and have had a lot of success with it. It performs great, and the DBus and MPRIS2 integration is just fantastic. I have run into a bug with the MPRIS2 integration, though. It's ...

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...
Whenever I try to add a new directory as source, there is a file selector box opening up, which is basically empty, and then spotify freezes, sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes until I kill it. Running Spotify 0.9.10 64-bit on Kubuntu 14.04 Anybo...

I already have installed Spotify on Linux (Xubuntu) and I Try to find new music using "Generes and Modes" but i can't find that seccion. The version and the problem are on the next image. Thank you a lot for your reply.
Hey guys, this is my second post here. I posted earlier about the DISCOVER tab not working well on the desktop application for Spotify. I have another concern that I'm not sure has been taken care or if anyone is even aware of it (not many people I k...
I have been using the discovery tool with great success for a long time. I think it has been one of the best tools the Spotify team brought to the service, because it managed to very frequently suggest music that was similar to my tastes For reasons ...
Something that has always been unclear to me when using Spotify radio is how to train the radio station. When I start a new radio station and listen to a couple songs, it quickly gets off "topic" with the songs. Usually the songs are songs that I lik...

Please add an option to disable announcements. I don't care if Pitbull paid to promote his music on Spotify. The reason I paid for Spotify is to stop seeing such advertisements. I would happily pay even more just to stop seeing these things. Please r...
