![]() Wong does, however, mention that she was not able to determine how real-time or interruptive the feature is, because of the feature still being in an unreleased state. Once you do, the "Now Listening" section of Spotify becomes social! It will show who's listening in the "Connect with friends" module, and anyone connected can control the music. When you choose that option, Spotify generates a QR code for you along with a link, or an option to "scan code." You can either share your code or link with a friend or scan someone else's code. For those with the new feature, the option "Connect with friends" appears in that menu. In Spotify, there's a button that takes you to your connected devices, which normally allows you to determine what device you're playing your music on. Jane Manchun Wong How does the "Social Listening" feature work? (friend's identity here replaced with mine for privacy) /Fo5rdH3xGO On the plus side, at least the names of local files are readable now, but it took a few years to fix the dark grey text on a darker grey background.īy the way, I really liked your track "Doubts" > condition << the paying customers to crave only the music from your band?- (I laugh.)- Not fair, I know, but that is what Spotify is doing for their favorite business labels, whether purposefully or only reactively to deadly market forces.ĭespite all of the above, we have a great and universal music collection on Spotify, including your band! Spectacular music and perfect on Spotify- but you have to do your own "user programming fixes" to force the Spotify players to play what you want to hear.The "Now Playing" UI will show the amount of friends listening That's only off the top of my head - there are far more annoyances.The most frustrating thing is losing a queue that's taken some time to build up, with artists I'll maybe never hear again thanks to them disappearing. It doesn't make sense to have moved the queue button miles away from everything else - on a touch device it's not so bad, but it's a pain on a desktop. Same "Now Playing" - not only does it highlight green, but has a speaker icon beside it. What's the point of the "Next in Queue" header? Isn't it obvious, considering it's a queue? It takes up so much space, so I can't actually see my queue. ![]() Spotify gets slower - streams often aren't instant any more, and the software itself has become clunky. I can see that you have Smart Shuffle on in the Liked Songs list. It used to be amazing at how fast Spotify was - tracks online that instantly played. So who knows if I'm missing hearing stuff that hasn't actually been played. I constantly get "the current track couldn't be played" errors, and when I check, all tracks have been played. I can no longer drag local files from outside of Spotify to a playlist or the queue either. It's no longer possible to drag tracks to a queue - it only works if I right-click > add to queue. I have to go through the time-consuming process of adding each track individually, or Ctrl+click each one. I've just lost a queue of new artists and tracks I wanted to listen to, and might not find again. Then if I try and delete the extra tracks that were added to the queue using the same method (holding shift and clicking) EVERYTHING disappears from my queue. That would only select the highlighted tracks - but now, EVERYTHING from that artists catalogue appears in my queue when I do this (including the top 10, so 10 songs are duplicated). ![]() You used to be able to select a portion of an artists catalogue by clicking on a release, holding shift, and clicking on another release (general Windows selection process) > right-click > add to queue. On a Windows XP machine, I still use an old version - no problems, and it's more user-friendly.Įvery time Spotify updates on my Windows 10 machine, I Iose my whole queue. Spotify seems to get worse with every release.
