Offline is still miles and miles better than patchy Internet. If spotify thinks you have Internet it calls the server to ask for the contents of every context menu, waiting for a response for seconds before sometimes giving up showing a menu and sometimes falling back to what would have been instant if it was in offline mode.
I really loathe their player.
- meowtimemania 3y agoI get irritated by this too. When it happens I put my phone on airplane mode to force Spotify to show the offline ui.
- Tistron 3y agoYeah, me too. And vow to someday get around to finding a different music solution.
- jve 3y agoHmm, this would also imply they would need more infrastructure at their side when they could just maybe use cached values stored locally.
- jnsaff2 3y agoNot only that, there are many apps with no online aspect to them that have facebook sdk or some other spyware that does a blocking call on app startup and the app won't start without it succeeding, unless you are completely offline. Especially annoying when one is using dns based filtering.
- shepherdjerred 3y agoThis was one of the major reasons I left Spotify. Apple Music handles this much more gracefully.
