Increase 3 device limit

I work and travel alot and have spotify on my cell phone,tablet,htpc,and laptop. I work offshore so my device hace to be offline for me to listen to my music. I always run into issues with my offline files being deleted due to on htpc at home being signed it. is there a way i can add one more device?

The 3 device limit really bugs me too. I have spotify on my media center, tablet, phone, work pc & home pc. That's 5 devices. 5 seems like a more reasonable limit to me. I'm sick of downloading my playlists over and over again when offline access gets withdrawn. I'm considering quitting my subscription for a service that doesn't get in the way as much.

I too find it kind of ridicuolus to limit "PREMIUM" users to only 3 devices. I mean we are becoming a more connected society, everything we have is somehow connected to each other. I alone have 6 devices that I would like to keep synced. 2 PCs, 2 Phones and 2 Tablets. It has become almost a game at times to try and keep the device I need at the time synced. Very often trying to quickly download the playlist before I leave an area with WIFI.

Yeah, I thought Spotify could be used on the move.

So I cannae be the only person who has more than 3 devices to use....

 

1 - PC at work

2 - PC at home conected to the amp and speakers (music system)

3 - Mobile phone (also bluetoothed to the car system)

4 - Kindle (so i can listen to music while reading)

5 - PS4 - so can listen to the music instead of the crap music in game!!!

6 - TV, so I can listen to the music in the other room and its kinda cool having music played through the widescreen TV. After all there's FA else on it 🙂

 

I'm just wondering which device I should carry with me and which ones to ditch? Maybe I should just ditch Spotify and buy CD's or MP3's?

 

If its all about trying to pay artists more money, then why not for a small fee 'buy' more devices to play on?

 

 

This limit seriously F**KS me off too. Its an antiquated rule, most people have more than 3 devices. They are losing competitive advantage keeping this limit at 3.

My files get deleted and I don't even have 3 devices! Soon I'll be back on Apple music

I have exactly three devices I use Spotify offline on but I still run into this sometimes. It's a pain to have to wait for everything to redownload again. Spofty needs to realize that as we enter 2017 more and more people have at least 3 devices these days and the inability to use more then 3 of them at a time is becomeing unacctable. I really hope Spotify can increase it to 5 or more. Thanks.
