Can’t even seek through songs.

    Who tf uses Spotify without a premium account?

    I’d rather pirate that shit that use it for free (I like to hit next all the way).

    IMHO Spotify is one of the few services that it is worth to pay.

        Buying or even pirating literally thousands of albums just wouldn’t be feasible for me. Way too much cost, effort, and time. Spotify is well worth it for me as a consumer.

        Not all artist release songs on albums or the albums were limited release and are hard to find, but spotify has them.

        I buy the the digital release to support the band and just keep listening on Spotify. At that point the band won’t get more money out of me for the songs and I get the covience of Spotify

            As I understand it it gives you features that were available in earlier Versions? Sounds nice! But I guess it won’t give you access to premium content right?

        That would enter the pirate subject wouldn’t it?

        Anyway yeah using the free option provided by Spotify seems like the worst case scenario.

      I agree with you here. There may be a better service out there, but I certainly haven’t found it yet. I use Spotify in my car (via USB to my phone), in my kitchen, master bath, living room and kids rooms on Google mini’s or Amazon Echos… And I don’t have to go out and download anything, it just plays what I want when I want it.

        Huh, I think Spotify is a poor podcast client, compared with the competition.

            Well, I use Pocket Casts and it has volume booster and trim silence options, as far as I remember Spotify had none of those.

      I use it for podcasts. Those exist outside the normally restricted music playlist stuff.
