They have technical problems: Offline doesn't work sometimes when you seem to have a connection but it's not really working. The popups sometimes do not close and requires a restart. The client is heavy and can show videos and display lyrics, which is nice when properly implemented but it's a buggy mess. They have algorithm problems: Suggestions became useless since a long while. The silly podcast push. All those generic placeholder playlist... They also have conflicting interests with their users and the non-megastar artists. Therefore I also cancelled Spotify a long time ago.

> Offline doesn't work sometimes when you seem to have a connection but it's not really working. Definitely had this problem when you have a weak connection. Even if you have already downloaded the music, it still hangs trying to connect, in order to... I dunno, download the lyrics or something? Get related tracks? So I end up having to go into airplane mode just to make it play. Just play the saved files, and wait on the API calls in the background.

Spotify has a "offline mode" setting somewhere in the app last I knew. This will force it to only show releases you've downloaded.
