  • gayjokesandfeet Fanart (@gayjokesandfeet) reported

    @PhirstGenMD If every streaming service had a free tier Spotify would have actual competition.

  • eresincio ً (@eresincio) reported

    i got 99 problems and a spotify playlist would solve them

  • dopejunghoseok ᴅᴇɴɪsᴇ (@dopejunghoseok) reported

    @MarleyTheWizard @uncutpoint @realbadboyloo u can report this to spotify’s customer service. they’ll most likely fix it within a few weeks if u notify them.

  • uglybagelbits lucien (@uglybagelbits) reported

    you can change the spotify playlist photo on the free version but not premium ??? i’m so confused i hate it no terrible

  • CostelloSean Seán C (@CostelloSean) reported

    Two years ago, I made the horrible error of listening to the first audio drama on Spotify that came up for me. Two years after bingeing on @WereAlive by @waylandprod I still haven't found anything to touch it. So I'm starting it again! Utterly brilliant.

  • zoe_girl3 Zoeya (@zoe_girl3) reported

    @Spotify @spotifypodcasts The news #spotify update is terrible. The UI is less usable, and it removed the feature to only show episodes of podcasts I've not already watched.

  • imdrinkingcum willow (@imdrinkingcum) reported

    Man, id been having this issue where my car won't display song titles from spotify with my old phone that I use as a music player and it turns out it's the phone and idk how to fix it, works fine with this phone

  • solanumtuber . (@solanumtuber) reported

    @SpotifyCares Oh is this a personal issue only?

  • EjiaArath Neon Genechris Evansgelion (@EjiaArath) reported

    ew, the spotify desktop app has now adopted the hideous ui of the web version now you have to scroll all the way down for the artist's about section (which pops up into a separate window anyway) and their entire discography can't be seen on a single page

  • innovfest Innovation Festival (@innovfest) reported

    @wallj10 itunes podcast is going down the route of Spotify, will BBC Sounds?

  • JennytotheIffer Jenny🧚‍♀️✨ (@JennytotheIffer) reported

    Have once again convinced spotify that I’m going through a terrible breakup. I just like sad music **** off

  • pseudoerasmus Pseudoerasmus (@pseudoerasmus) reported

    @jamiltoyo The streaming service above is Youtube. Spotify doesn't do this, but it doesn't seem to know my tastes very well, either. Youtube seems to know me very well, but throws in a random surrealistic track every now and then like that above ;-)

  • enharawr 𝓶𝓳 ✨ (@enharawr) reported

    hi verrers 😌 are any of you guys spotify users because i’m decently new to the fandom and when i discovered the song privacy i went to download but it plays beautiful-x instead do y’all have that same issue 😞

  • reward64 🏳️‍🌈Country Bumpkin from Gibson🏳️‍🌈 (@reward64) reported

    @JesseThorn I installed PocketCasts years ago and totally don't regret it. Spotify is terrible for listening to podcasts the way I want to listen. I love my PocketCasts. I see it's free now, but my $5 a number of years ago was totally worth it too.

  • SpeedDemon153 SpiderGoombaYT (@SpeedDemon153) reported

    Can anyone else not listen to @LilNasX's songs on Spotify? I'm on PS4 and it comes up with an error screen Bruh I just wanna listen to Holiday and Rodeo while I play Apex man wtf

  • HakanTunaMusic Hakan Tuna (@HakanTunaMusic) reported

    @Spotify worse update ever (on Pc at least not checked other platforms yet) The layout is not user friendly. We have lost artists playlists and independent artists bios are not showing, hoping the bio and artists playlists are only a migration issue and will be back asap.

  • 1x1_NFT 1x1 (@1x1_NFT) reported

    @fritjofdouglas @MrGingeyyy Yeah, I get that it's good for users. But the fact that our sales of 180 copies of Fragments from the Cross NFTs have generated more revenue than 2.4 million streams on Spotify does point to a problem. We can actually continue to create work via NFT creation, otherwise no chance

  • Ben_Giff Бенж (@Ben_Giff) reported

    @SpotifyCares @Spotify What's with the new desktop app UX? It's terrible. Why are devs making everything take up so much screen real estate? I used to be able to see all or most of the tracks on an album at a glance. Now I see 4.5 tracks.

  • IsabelleDotJpeg Isabelle.jpeg 🦧🐸 (@IsabelleDotJpeg) reported

    spotify is broken and now TRO is stuck listening to weezer with me

  • THINLIESCTH nat (@THINLIESCTH) reported

  • saltkrokanliebe lenaexist (@saltkrokanliebe) reported

    okay, this could be solved. apparently a bug on the browser edition of spotify? either ways, was able to delete everything from my phone. still problem with login on ps4, help pls @AskPlayStation

  • Maaddiieexo madisyn (@Maaddiieexo) reported

    my spotify updated and now it’s broken

  • vanpaugam Van (@vanpaugam) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @ragnarxiv @MMcflies The issue people have is with semantics. Yes, City Pop existed before 2016, but it didn’t magically just start appearing on Spotify and TikTok out of nowhere. Making me out to seem like I’m intentionally disparaging Japanese music is a lame attempt at self-righteousness

  • redemptionloki marshie (@redemptionloki) reported

    guys give me artists that aren’t well known and deserve more streams cuz there r some artists on my top spotify that embarrass me and I haven’t listened since 2017 that I need to get bumped down

  • smelseysaywhut Kelsey 🌙 (@smelseysaywhut) reported

    @_kelso____ @Paige_Overboard @AMorbidPodcast Omg nooooo! I haven’t had any issues with them on my Spotify. Just listened to the new one yesterday!

  • natalie_xiomara natalie x (@natalie_xiomara) reported

    why did my spotify update on its own it looks terrible 🛌

  • andrewbucket andrew bucket (@andrewbucket) reported

    Emailing @Spotify that if they ever recommend a decemberists song to me again- I'll burn it all down to ash and a stone chimney.

  • Dessaesthetic Dess (@Dessaesthetic) reported

    Has anyone had any issues with spotify crashing since the update??? My spotify has crashed so many times while organizing my playlists...

  • CappsCod Cody Capps (@CappsCod) reported

    @AskRockStars Having an issue where Spotify only plays about 50% of my Dow loaded music across my liked songs and various playlists. Using an iPhone 10. Paid subscriber
