I mostly listen to albums start to finish from my own largish collection (~90 GB when encoded as 192 Kbps AAC), so I can't really comment on the consumer experience. As for the artists, Taylor Swift's stance reminds me of Metallica and Garth Brooks. It kind of saddens me that they focus on this kind of nonsense, rather than the myriad ways the industry screws its own artists.
- baddox 12y agoI'm the same way. I consider the album to be the fundamental unit of musical expression (although there are obviously plenty of exceptions). The Spotify interface on iOS is absolutely unusable for this. There is no way to assemble a music library and browse it by artist and then album.
- batiudrami 12y agoGoogle Play Music does this, and any music missing from their catalogue can be uploaded and is seamlessly integrated with their streaming music (a big deal - spotify just creates a folder of Local Files which don't even show up in searches). The only downsides are the web-only interface and the mobile app's excessive caching which seems to use at least double the data of Spotify.
- Thlom 12y agoYou can "save" both artists and albums in the iOS app.
- Nullabillity 12y agoThere has been since the latest UI update. On the desktop, every track or album has a "save" button that looks like a +, which will add it to your library, which can be sorted by either album or artist. On Android it's under the menu button for each track. I can't speak for iOS, though.
