Fix Web Player Settings

[ElrosP]

The web player only has 2 options for settings, language and display (the latter only having one option, for the now playing tab). So now I'm stuck with auto-play and can't change other preferences to my liking, a problem that wasn't happening before.

Change the settings in the Web Player to include the same amount of useful options (preferably ones that aren't device exclusive) that are available on the other versions of the app.

This is not a simple request of version roll-back, but rather to have a fair relation of features across all platforms. Stop creating fake problems (because it wasn't like this before) in order to drive traffic to the app. Also if having the premium gives you this level of quality, why should I even pay?

Why are there no settings tab for the web version of spotify? There have been more than enough posts about it. It shouldn't be THAT hard to be able to add settings for web players? Listen to people Spotify team. Loads of people are angry. The fact that there are no settings for the web version makes loads of people switch. You want money? ADD SETTINGS, that's all!

According to this implemented "idea", you have to download the App to click on the "Autoplay on other devices" button once.

I want that option to be available on the Web Interface, since that is the only interface I have access to. I do not use Android or Apple phone and the computers I use have no Admin access for me to install the app. I therefore have no acccess to stopping Autoplay.

I don't want to have to go out and buy phone / tablet / computer with Admin rights just to install the app, to have to click on that button once, and then re-sell the device.

If the popularity of the aforementioned "idea" is taken into account, you could say this is one of the most important buttons on the Profile page -- but it's not there!

Summary of Change Request:

Implement Autoplay toggle button in the Web UI Account page (or Profile page, or in the player, or anywhere else!). Make sure it can be used from a Web Browser, with no Android/Apple/Windows/etc installable required.

It's bad enough that people using the free version can't access settings on the Web Player, but even your Premium subscribers? It's no stretch of the imagination that Spotify is enforcing autoplay on the Web platform to increase revenue. The Web Player isn't a secondary product for many of us ! Let your users turn autoplay off !
