Spotify routinely loses licensing and rips music out of my playlists.
Case in point: They lost several artists on "The Great Gatsby" soundtrack less than a week after it was released. It was just gone one day as if it never existed.
I moved to Google Music so that I knew when I needed to buy a song to add it to a playlist or I could simply purchase from Amazon and upload it. Playlists stay intact, and I don't have to worry about a transfer after the fact if I reformat or switch phones.
Spotify had a shot.
- chatmasta 13y agoYou could just use Spotify and buy the songs it doesn't have on iTunes. Spotify imports your iTunes library.
- ChikkaChiChi 13y agoI don't use iTunes. Honestly I did think that would be a great feature, but being able to import what I already do own has been fantastic.
- ZoF 13y agoWhen music in my playlists loses licensing it just gets greyed out until I purchase it(expected functionality); yours actually disappeared from the playlist entirely?
- ChikkaChiChi 13y agoIn the case of Gatsby, absolutely. It was ripped out of my playlists as if I had been insane. Normally it does get greyed out. Otherwise there is no notification (unless you are staring at the screen) that your music is gone.
- akx 13y agoThere's an option to show the unavailable songs in lists anyway, even if the song isn't playable for whichever licensing reason.
