EXACTLY LDVS ! I would have thought Spotify would appreciate some feedback..even if it is negative.I have spent the afternoon rexiewing other streaming players, and will probably cancel my subscription to spotify in favour of another, and I bet I'm not the only one. Surely a loss in subscribers revenue is indicative to how we feel like we're being rorted?

OK, so let's assume that's true. In that case, care to explain why a ton of functionality was removed in the latest version, and a lot of white space was added? The actual content now feels VERY cramped on a lot of screens, even though that same screen is fine for everything else. A lot of settings (ex. cache space) were removed, Ctrl+F, etc. Basically a much less functional app... to what end? And from what I can tell, user feedback (if you guys asked for any) was NOT taken into account with the new version. What, are you trying to pull a Windows 8 and expect it to go well? And care to explain why when called out on the missing features, Spotify says that oh, they'll be added back later if you vote on them? Even though that's happened before (0.88 or something?), and the features weren't added back? How about this. Recall this new crappy version, and rollback to the old one until you can get your act together. Very simple, and solves the complaints in one go. No functionality lost, and a ton gained. Personally, I already dug up a copy of the last version, and then intentionally broke the update mechanism so that I could keep a nice, functional Spotify player. I might not renew my subscription depending on how much you guys decide to keep your heads up your asses though.
