The smartphone app, however, doesn't work exactly like the PC service. Users can access their playlists and music albums, but they have to scroll through their lists randomly using a "Shuffle Play" button. Users can't pick the exact song they want to play right away, and will have to shuffle through their playlists.
I pay for Spotify specifically for the mobile app (the ads didn't bother me) and I do not want these changes. I can't tell from the article, but will this pricing change have any effect on the way I currently use the app? I want direct access to songs on my phone, not a Pandora-like system...otherwise I would just pay less and switch back to Pandora...
- nixy 13y agoI'm pretty sure these shuffle restrictions apply to users of the free service only.
- rohansingh 13y agoYour functionality is unchanged. Free users who previously had no or limited mobile functionality have more functionality.
- roguelynn 13y agoSpotify employee here - it's only for free tier. Your service doesn't change.
- ashray 13y agoHey I just switched over from rDio to spotify. The reasons are that spotify lets you sync different songs/playlists to different devices and rDio does not. Spotify has a better library than rDio. However, why can I not browse/sync my 'Collection' on spotify's ios apps? Is this feature on the cards ? (I guess having a 'Collection' just on the desktop app makes little sense...) Would love it if you could answer!! Thanks for a great service!
- publicfig 13y agoSpotify will offer a Collection service in the future. It was announced about a year ago, and beta applications just closed for it. I'm hoping we're going to see it sooner rather than later because it's a must-have feature for me.
- roguelynn 13y agoHey ashray - pretty much what publicfig said. If you'd like, sign up for the beta testing of "Collection" across multiple platforms: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Announcements/Collection-beta-testers-wanted/td-p/562686 http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Announcements/Collec...
