[All Platforms] Setting for max Cache Size Allowance

Submitted by on ‎2017-11-27 09:58 PM
Status: Live Idea

The android version of Spotify currently doesn't have a setting for how much disk space the cache is allowed to take up, so it just keeps getting larger and larger until the entire drive is full. 

 

A music streaming app should not need several gigabytes of  drive space. Give us the option to cap this - getting real tired of getting told I'm out of disk space and having to manually wipe it.

The cache is even worse with lossless lol. I'm already at 10gb on day 3, and only have 256gb to work with, putting my phone already at 100gb used. Where is this update Spotify???

How is this not a thing? Especially with lossless now. If I can't set a max cache size, then allow me to set it so that the cache empties when I close the app. I don't know why it's so hard for music streamers to get this. Apple, on android phones strangely enough, allows a max cache size to be set. Or turned off completely. Wish they did that on their NATIVE OS.
