    Netflix showed that people will lay down and take it; expect more.

      Netflix’s catalog also fluctuates wildly, while Spotify’s remains fairly static. This is their first price increase since their inception, and it’s only a dollar. We’ve never been able to listen to Spotify on more than one device at a time, this really isn’t a big deal all things considered. If it’s that big a deal for you, there are plenty of other options.

        Idk, I have quite a bit of music fall off my liked playlist because of licencing. They’re not mainstream popular tracks, and sometimes it’s because they update the albums, but it gets annoying when a song I like and have listened to is removed, and if I wanna have it, I need to put a copy of it on all my devices by hand. If they had a way to sync devices with my personal tracks, and support for audiobooks, I would think it’s virtually perfect. Too bad itunes doesn’t work with Android or aupoort a Spotify plugin.

            as i said in my comment, if they had a way for me to sync my personal library to all of my devices without having to set it up manually on every single one, i would not be having these issues. that’s on spotify, not the copyright holders.

              I guess Spotify could (and arguably should) add a feature to scan your device for the file, instead of you having to go add it manually. Is that what you meant? Because you comment comes across as you wanting the song to somehow be available on all of your devices despite you having it on only one…
