[Desktop] Restore Cache Location Specification

I run on a machine with a small SSD for my OS and critical applications.

 

In previous versions of Spotify I have set my cache to my larger hard drive. Now this is no longer possible.

 

Now I am constantly having to manually clear my cache and am unable to specify where I want the files to be kept.

 

This needs to be restored.

Updated: 2015-07-08

Hey everyone, this feature is returning in the 1.0.9 Desktop update. That update is currently rolling out and should reach everyone quite soon.

Here's what I did on my work machine:

 

Installed Im Disk Ram Disk, mounted the Spotify cache folder as ram drive. Get's cleared on shutting down but does the job for me.

 This is a really important feature for anyone using a SSD for the O/S drive.  Please reinstate ASAP.

Spotify have had enough time to bring the cache settings back (and all other stuff they removed).

 

They now lost me as a Premium subscriber.

 

Not sure if I will bother coming back when/if they manage to restore things we loyal users helped betatest all these years.

Need this setting implemented.

Storing files on a drive without being able to specify location is not good UX.

 Who is the idiot that decided to remove this feature? 

byfieldbirds

so many candidates 🙂

 

the same idiot who broke local file lists and searches, probably.

 

or it could have been the muppett who zapped CTRL-F 

 

possibly the same staff idiot who began a thread called release notes - spotify for desktop  & then quit updating it 2 releases ago

Hello everyone.

 

From now on you'll be able to find the latest release notes for Desktop right here.

Subscribe to this topic and you'll be updated regularly.

 

NB in spotify vocabulary " regularly" is like " soon" , it means sometime this year, maybe, if you're lucky  🙂
