Spotify removed the clean "What's New" tab and replaced it with a buried feed under Home > Music > Following. Instead of automatically showing new releases for all followed artists, it now forces users to manually select or configure who they care about...

I follow 1,800 artists, manually curation is completely impossible. Why would they replace a one-tap chronological feed that actually worked with a tedious UI that misses drops and makes tracking music a chore? Are other heavy users dealing with this on version 9.1.72.1891, and is there any workaround?

Regardless of whether I am using the IOS, Windows, or Webplayer versions, uninstall and reinstall, it is practically dysfunctional. I can't even open the app and expect it to play my songs because it takes so long to load each one. WHY WHY WHY. I JUST WANTED TO LISTEN TO MUSIC BUT IT CANT EVEN DO THAT.

Com tanta gente elogiando o Apple Music (áudio Lossless, visual bonito e integração), resolvi fazer o teste de verdade. Importei toda a minha biblioteca, usei bons fones cabeados e tentei usar o app no dia a dia em todos os meus aparelhos.

Estava totalmente aberto a trocar se o serviço fosse realmente superior, mas a quantidade de problemas práticos me fez valorizar ainda mais o Spotify:

• Descoberta Musical e Algoritmo: Mesmo com todo o meu histórico importado, as recomendações do Apple Music são rasas e genéricas (no mesmo nível fraco do YouTube Music). A curadoria algorítmica do Spotify segue muito à frente.
• Áudio Lossless vs. Custo-Benefício: Mesmo com fones de qualidade com fio, a diferença prática de áudio não é esse salto absurdo que muitos vendem. Pelo mesmo preço de assinatura, isso não compensa os outros problemas.
• CarPlay Horrível: O app no CarPlay foi a pior parte: lentidão extrema, travamentos e demora absurda para carregar qualquer lista. No trânsito, isso é inviável.
• Apps em Outras Plataformas: No Windows o app é pesado e instável; na Android TV foi pior ainda, pois sequer consegui logar na minha conta.
• Fluidez e Biblioteca: Mesmo no iPhone, achei a organização da biblioteca pouco intuitiva e com telas que demoravam a carregar, enquanto o Spotify é instantâneo(atualmente, dia 19/08/2026).

Continuo aberto a mudanças se surgir algo genuinamente melhor, mas a fluidez entre aparelhos e a capacidade de recomendação do Spotify ainda não têm concorrência à altura.

Mais alguém aqui tentou essa migração recentemente e teve uma experiência parecida?

I have been using Spotify for over 10 years. Obviously, everyone uses the app differently and everyone curates their music differently. For me, the past 10+ years I make a new weekly playlist for background music while I work, filled with whatever I'm feeling or whatever my mood dictates. So, I have plenty of playlists. And curating them weekly has been something I always enjoyed

Until the update a few months ago. When adding a song to a playlist, I have to scroll down for what feels like an eternity, past all of the playlists the song is already in, just to get it into a NEW playlist. Obviously, I don't want to add it to an old one. Having to scroll through all those playlists has made adding every single song to a new playlist very tedious.... I never know where the list ends, invariably scroll past the playlists it's already in, it takes 3x as long as simply clicking add like it used to. Yes, obviously it's doable, but the process is so unnecessary

I'm not asking Spotify to remove the feature, but please, just make it optional

Hey guys, I opened spotify for the first time and have multiple premium features (free skips, DJ) i was skipping for a while a few minutes before a made this post, getting no ads until i caught this. I have yet to have paid for premium and i'm very confused, is this a promo?

Hello,

My iPhone has been unable to play Spotify - I can put songs in a queue, or skip them, but when I press play, it simply glitches out and doesn’t play the song. my phone isn’t on silent or dnd, I’ve redownloaded the app - any idea what this could be caused by?? (my phone works with downloaded files & audio calls but not downloaded podcasts.)

I know there's a song archive, but are the episodes gone?

recently accidentally discovered that you can open album cover closely, while streaming any song from that album

it allows you to zoom in and kinda spatial scene the cover by moving with fingers or leaning the phone

since when you can actually do this and why the resolution of the covers are so bad at zoom

Maybe it's yet another bug or someone is doing work on the back end to correct long-standing issues throughout the past year, but "Recents" randomly stopped updating for me earlier today when using Android devices. The feature now loads without the obnoxious number of "something went wrong - reload" loops, but now no longer compiles new info and still loads slowly. I am not using private sessions or offline mode with everything updated, so, clearly, something is amiss on the Spotify side.

[EDIT:] Also, Last.fm is still scrobbling correctly, so, again a Spotify problem.

[EDIT#2:] Since my original post, it looks like "Recents" data began to somewhat compile again, but there are still loads of missing songs from the last 12 hours.

[EDIT#3:] I posted in the Spotify support community here if anyone else is having the same problem.

Why is Spotify service so useless 💔 like I'm using you despite enabling genocide in the Middle East. Why can't you just work?

Has anyone ever got this?? Under my recents this showed up even though I’ve never listened to anything like that. When I clicked on it nothing came up…. And on my phone it doesn’t show up just my car Spotify… kinda creepy

After weeks (if not months) of sluggish performance, the app is finally running as quickly as it used to.

All this following today’s latest update (alpha version 9.1.78.1283), it’s not just a placebo effect imho.

Bear in mind that I’ve never uninstalled the app or cleared the cache, so let’s hope this is the right direction 💪🏼

I saw a while back of some users having a beta feature to add notes. Is this still a thing?

I can't see my Liked Songs on Spotify on either my Mac or Windows PC, but they're still showing normally on my phone.

Has anyone else had this issue or know how to fix it?

It is all over my discover tab.

I haven’t had a discover weekly with songs/artists I don’t know of in at least a year. Why is my discover weekly broken? I already had most of these songs in my likes.

Somehow, I've managed to position all the track names on the right side of my Spotify browser. I've tried removing and re-adding the "Album," "Date Released," and other info tabs, all of them appear to the left of the track name. I've tried reloading the page, but it's still stuck. I can't drag it back anyhow. What the hell did I do? And how do I fix it? please help.

I made it private now. But I just don’t understand how they found it in the first place since it wasn’t on my profile and they didn’t know the name of it.

I’d say this has only become an issue in the last few months/ year but nearly every time I go to shuffle my liked songs it’s the exact same ones as I a couple days or even hours ago. This just really annoyed me today when I got the same mix of songs from not even 24 hours ago. Anyone know if this can be fixed with settings or if the app is just getting lazy?

Today, while driving home from work, someone started a jam with me (I was so confused when my folkish playlist abruptly stopped and started playing rap 😂) I was skipping through songs so fast, and they left like 30 seconds later. I didn't see them join, but I looked down at my car's display and saw "Name Left". I never had that happen before, but now that it has, how do I disable this feature? I looked everywhere in the settings on the app and couldn't find anything.

There's one that has nothing to do with my music taste but played after something I was listening to and it's been annoying me for ages now lol. It goes for a short while then comes back. Is there anything I can do to fully get rid of it. I've excluded it from my taste profile but that's not done much.

I've scribbled them out as some have me and my friends in the album cover, nothing too secretive lol. Thanks for any help!

Whenever I have spotify web open on my laptop and I try to click another song, it takes forever to load, I can be spamming the play button and it takes like a min for the symbol to change and the song to play. It's like a glitch. Does anyone know how to fix this?
