This isn't fixed, it just isn't as bad as it used to be.
When they had apps spotify would spin at ~90% of one core for me. When they had just musixmatch, spotify would switch between 30% and 60%. Now it decides to randomly run at 90% for about ten seconds every few songs.
A workaround:
cat ~/bin/music
#!/bin/bash
error() {
echo "[Error] $@" 1>&2
}
if [ -z "$(which cpulimit 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
error "Missing package cpulimit"
exit 1
fi
if [ -z "$(which spotify 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
error "Missing package spotify"
exit 2
fi
if test -t 1; then
exec 1>/dev/null
fi
if test -t 2; then
exec 2>/dev/null
fi
launch() {
cpulimit -l 30 spotify
}
launch &
And I see no degradation in performance. This is severely low quality software engineering.
