Spotify Connect is great but the automatic switching is not for everyone.
Please allow us to disable automatic switching between devices. I understand Spotify doesn't like user to play in more than one device and I am happy with that, but the application shouldn't switch devices if the user does not want to do this. It clearly creates frustration amongst users.
In my particular case I work from home listening to music on my computer. I find really annoying when I plug my headphones in my phone to take a call and suddenly the music starts playing in my headphones.
This is what happens step by step:
- Spotify is in my mobile running in the back.
- Spotify is playing in my computer.
- My phone rings.
- I take the call at the same time that I get my headphones on me.
- I listed to a combination of my client/colleague and the music that I was playing in my computer, usually very loudly.
- I stop the music.
- I comment with my client/colleague how bad is Spotify.
- I finish my call.
- I go to my computer, change the playing device on Spotify to my computer and play again.
- I do this a couple of times until I get fed up of Spotify and I play music from somewhere else.
This problem has been already described here: LINK but it has incorrectly tagged as repeated (the problems and solutions suggested are different).
