Close Button Closes Spotify [Windows]

[jeff]

Or at least minimize it to a tray Icon. But I would say close it. Maybe this is more of an opinion, but I've only used 2 programs that are this bad. Skype and Spotify. And Skype is a really bad program.  So I don't know why in Spotify, the Close and Minimize button do the same exact thing. I would like a quick way to close the program and stop the musik.  This is mainly a problem for me on Windows 7 and I believe linux is very similar.

Dear Spotify,

I know the difference between minimize and close. When I click the X at the top right of Spotify I intend for the program to close, meaning that the program ends. I do not want it to minimize and still be running, if I want the program to do that I would choose the minimize option. 

This is how programs have worked for a long time - please fix this.

Jimb1177 - I've just moved your Idea over here, as it's already been mentioned.

Hmm. Thats strange - closing it using the x used to work with that unticked. I was using spotify before it bacame cool though 😉

[Dandy]

I agree. Please fix this.

God I hate having to right click and quit spotify to close the application.

@Spotify - If you do this, please make it an option. I like that it stays open on my task bar 🙂

This is not a huge deal for me, but if there is a change, it would be nice if there was just a option or checkbox that would control which way it behaved.  Therefore, each side of this could have it the way they want it.

From a former premium member (I just cancelled), I find this behaviour more inline with spamware or shareware before you've bought into it. It's a standard, the x in the top right should close the app. If you're not going to adhere to it, give users the option on whether it does or not.

I couldn't agree more. Duplicating the functionality of a buttion that's right next to the close button is just sloppy programming practice. I haven't been coding GUI's all that long but even I know that.

If a program runs on windows it needs to follow windows layout conventions. When I hit the close button I expect the program to close.

This annoys me too - the X button has the same functionality as the minimise button. If I wanted to minimise Spotify, I would hit the minimise button! This breaks general Windows UI/X principles.

Add this option and we're all happy.
