> Riegelstamm further dug into the details of the Web Player, discovering that the discontinuing of Safari support might have something to do with Google's Widevine media optimizer plugin, which Spotify requires for music streaming on the web and Apple opposes due to potential security issues.

- digi_owl 9y agoEchoing that i felt there was a change in the way they handled Android the day they announce that the Android Marketplace (later rebranded the Google Play Store) would be offering movies (musics joined them a few months later). Soon after the storage handling in Android got that much more convoluted, making it much harder to get data out of an Android devices without there being some kind of Google daemon sitting between user and storage.
- grawprog 9y agoYeah I remember how much worse it was going from Android 2 to 4 as far as accessing storage was but 4 to 7 seems even worse. I've found KDE connect to be the best option for me so far for accessing android storage. Though as far as I know you need to have a KDE desktop environment to use it.
