Spotify does not care and will not fix this unless there is a major outcry. They've been ignoring user complaints since "1.0" dropped quite a while ago. They don't even post changelogs anymore. Features are added one day and disappear the next. It took months for them to reintroduce CTRL-F. They don't care. If another platform had the cross-device operability and catalog, I'd switch immediately.

  Pandora is said to be working on a competing service to launch next year. They bought what was left of rdio, so I'm expecting the client won't be as generally bad as Spotify's.

    Pandora's radio is already superior to Spotify's. I'd jump all over that if it happened.

      I'm planning to do the same, I have a hard time imagining that it could be worse. http://www.pressherald.com/2016/09/13/pandora-to-launch-%E2%80%A810-streaming-service/ http://www.pressherald.com/2016/09/13/pandora-to-launch-%E2%...

They probably won't even fix it if there is an outcry. Their software is pretty bad. Back when I had an android phone (galaxy S5), their app would constantly crash on me multiple times per day. Unfortunately their competition is not so great. Apple music has the worst UX I have ever experienced. I tried google music when it first came out but I liked spotify's catalog and ability to share playlists better at the time. And finally, there is Tidal which I haven't tried but I have heard it's not that good. 4 big competing streaming services and they all have glaring issues/missing features and yet seem to not be doing anything about it...

  Windows Phone had Nokia MixRadio, and it was great. And then MS killed it.

I've been using Google Play Music since it launched, and I'm very happy with the service. It works very well on web/Android/iOS, and there's rarely anything that I find missing from its catalog. And, for the rare times that I do, Google Play Music comes with YouTube Red, which gives you ad-free playback and offline caching.

Apple Music is decent, Google Play is probably more worthwhile
