Spotify gets props for being the first player on that market who really managed to grab share, but since Google Play Music exists and allows uploads of one's own music collection as well as dynamic cache-ahead on wifi of playlists on mobile devices², it's had some feature catch-up to play and doesn't seem to even have any willingness to do so.

- threeseed 12y agoI believe Apple did this first with iTunes Match. Either way neither product is doing particularly well with it. So easy to see why Spotify isn't bothering to add this feature.

- cdcarter 12y agoSpotify does allow cache-ahead on mobile. It's a premium feature, and it's well worth the $10/mo.
