Hey Spotify - any news on this?  Surely it's not that much of a big fix????

C'mon guys, another 3 weeks have gone past and no fix/update?

Update: The player now shows the pause button! BUT now it cannot play after it's been paused, so essentially the opposite of the original problem. All of the other buttons still work.

it's Fixed! woooo!  (it's great when you're working on a remote desktop session and it stays on top so you can control music without coming out of your session) 🙂

 

Spotify - please add this to the desktop player (I think it would be very appreciated) 🙂

Can't confirm that with the current 0.2.4 version - and have found a
fair work-around by using the play-control on the right of the chrome
menu-bar (left of the account-icon) - since my "sessiis predominantly in
chrome anyway ...

After re-starting Chrome I now have all functions, i.e. both alternating pause/play as well as skip forward and -backward.

Good morning - this problem has re-appeared 😞  I can pause music with the pop miniplayer but it won't "Play" (I have to go back to the actual web page to hit the main play button).

 

Please sort out asap (hopefully it won't take weeks like last time) 😞
