I have Spotify and don't listen to podcasts much at all. When I have, it hasn't been on Spotify and I've always been able to skip through the recording to get past the ad (either with a "skip fwd 15 secs" button or by grabbing the slider and moving it manually). Does Spotify not offer that capability?
- jazzyjackson 5y agoThey’ve made it simple to skip ads because each ad pops up as a track that you can scrobble to the end of. I assume they’re satisfied with this because my dragging my finger across the name of the advertiser is probably a better signal of impression than hoping I was actually present during the ad roll. But Apple podcasts “skip 15sec” is still easier, I can do it without looking while driving.
- neartheplain 5y ago>each ad pops up as a track that you can scrobble to the end of The first time this happened to me (while loading up a Joe Rogan podcast), I legitimately thought Spotify was glitching out. There's no visual indication in the app that it's a temporary ad, or of how many ads you have to listen to before the episode starts. I made it to the beginning of the third ad track before giving up.
- jazzyjackson 5y agoI did experience an infinite ad loop once and force closed the app and opened it again. Spotify is buggy AF.
- alex504 5y agoThis works about 75% of the time, about 25% of the time it restarts the podcast and I have to go through the ads again. This is on android. There is also a bug I experience pretty regularly where the podcast will restart when I resume it so I lose my spot. Such a buggy piece of crap app.
