My Question or Issue
i am using spotify on a windows and android device.
only the android device offers me "normal" functionality. the windows app is missing the following:
- overall different appearance of artist page
- no "concerts" tab on artist page
- no stream / plays counter for individual songs (neither on artist page nor anywhere else)
- no "what other fans like" section
- cannot rename playlists
- cannot sort items on playlist
the whole thing feels like "lite" version of spotify.
what i tried so far to no avail:
- multiple PC restarts
- installed via setup.exe from spotify.com, uninstalled
- installed via windows store
- uninstalled + reinstalled
- cleared cache in C:\Users\%user%\AppData\Local\Packages\SpotifyAB.SpotifyMusic_zpdnekdrzrea0\LocalCache\Spotify\Data
- disabled firewall
- disabled pihole
- installed the store app on another windows machine
i attached two screenshots, one showing the "normal" state of a certain artist page (a friend sent me that screenshot) and the other one showing the "restricted" state which i am confronted with.
any help would be appreciated, since this is starting to become a real pain.
thanks in advance.
This update is horrible.. I really hope the Windows desktop app actually gets reverted back to being a desktop app. Seriously considering trying another streaming service if this isn't fixed soon...
I agree. This version is some sort of kids version with practically no meaningful options what so ever...
Edit: my initial reaction:
this is just horrible.
i can temporarily fix the issues by installing an older spotify version (spotify-1-0-85-259.exe), but the auto updater will of course do it's job without asking the user if he wants to update.
software nowdays = bye bye self-determination..
This is Spotify trying to “improve” their app. And by “improve” I mean take away useful features that many of us use and make the product an overall worse experience.
I don’t know what Spotify is thinking by constantly taking away features. It’s a fantastic service but their UI team makes horrible decisions.
