- karmakaze 5y agoI've never had this issue. Spotify (on Mac) uses the computer's sound output setting (laptop speakers or monitor), unless you choose another destination with the Spotify 'device' option.
- Nextgrid 5y agoPresumably there's something incompatible with how the Spotify client plays audio and how his system handles audio playback. His point still stands though - with MP3s he can use an alternative player, with Spotify he can't.
- Gigachad 5y agoYou can use the web client which uses the browsers audio interfacing.
- midasuni 5y agoI use an ncurses Spotify client (I forget what) or a web browser to listen on my computer (normally I do it on the phone and airplay to the required speakers). Never had an issue.
- karmakaze 5y agoMy problem with Spotify isn't the DRM, since I use it mostly to play either background music or find different things to listen to--like I used to use satellite radio. The problem with Spotify is that the artists (for the most part) get so little while providing the content.

- remus 5y agoMight be because I use the web client? To be honest I haven't put any time trying to get it to work as I've got a simmering resentment about having to waste my time on things like this! On the plus side I've built up a good playlist on SoundCloud.
