Am I missing something? Spotify could be so much better!

Hi folks, New Spotify user here. Initially when my friend first took out his tablet with Spotify and we were all passing it around I was really impressed, however now I've got an account myself I've started to notice a lot of really surprising shortcomings and after perusing these forums it looks like that has been the case for years... in fact in a few cases it sounds like Spotify has actually taken away functionality from us! Anyway, below are a list of my gripes with the software, if there are ways to get around them that I should don't know please let me know, as I said I'm still fairly new to this. Dragging Albums & Artists in to Playlists - Click 'Albums' under 'Your Music' and drag one of them over a playlist, you'll notice initially the icon is a cross to suggest you can't do that... a few seconds later that will change to a + to say OK that's fine. Let go to drop the album in there are there and the whole application freezes while it adds a couple of songs to a playlist... Then you find that it hasn't added the songs from that album that you have added to your collection but the ENTIRE album... this is wrong in my opnion, only the ticked songs should be added. Worse still if you try and do the same with an 'Artist' in your library it will just freeze up and do nothing at all.Filtering Playlists - I've seen elsewhere on the forums that used to be possible... and that Spotify removed it about 2 years ago and have just never put it back... how is that acceptable? You can do it on the Android app but not the Desktop one?!Can't Hide 'Friends' Panel - Hurray for social crap As far as I can tell you can no longer close the 'Friends' panel on the right-hand side of the desktop application which is pretty annoying as it is completely broken (rarely, if ever tells me what my friends are actually listening to).Adds Duplicates to Playlists - For a while I thought this user error but dragging songs (or even right-click and Add to Playlist) occasionally, for no reason at all, just adds the song to the playlist twice... annoying.No Tags or User Genres - How, in one of the most popular music players in the world, is there not the functionality to add tags to your music or at least put them in to user-defined genres. Instead all I can do are playlists? Really? I've seen this mentioned on the forum previously, I don't know if it's something they are working on but it's long overdue.Combining Local Music in Song List - So the only way to listen to all my music, as I understand it, is to drag all my spotify songs in to a Playlist and put all my Local songs in that playlist as well... OK... the problem with this is then I have to add every song I ever add to my collection to that playlist as well and as I've already said it decides to add duplicates when it feels like it so it will be a pain in the arse to manage effectively.No Smart Playlists - If you've ever used iTunes you'll know one of the few good things it does is allow you to create smart playlists by just creating a few rules to determine what types of songs to add to the list... this is sorely lacking in Spotify. There's so much I love about Spotify but why are they developing this video crap when they could be making their apps in to the best music player out there? Right now even iTunes has more music playing functionality and options for the user than Spotify does... This time next week Apple's streaming service will be released and if it streams as well as Spotify (which it undoubtably will) and works through iTunes (a vastly superios music player than Spotify for the most part) I would seriously consider leaving Spotify for Apple.

Hello: I have went through all your points using the 1.0.8 app version and a Win 8.1 64 bit machine. All points other than 5 and 7 which are Idea requests, everything runs like it should. I can drag and drop content without any doubles being added. I have search filtering in playlists. I can play music from all sections of my account, even content not added into a playlist. I can hide friends feed just fine. I will contend there is a slight delay with dragging and dropping content into playlists and when a user system registers the movement within the Spotify app, but it is maybe a 1 or 2 seconds longer than before on the Spotify 0.9 desktop app. I probable will avoid Apple music on personal reasons, I have already checked out the free limited skipping of the radio stations, not that much different from Pandora to be honest. I am not actually a fan of how they have behaved the last few years, and their recent dealings with the music labels to try and undermine free Ad trier music streaming access. In fact I have found Apple lately to having behaved arrogantly and with disdain for the free market system, because they where unable or unwilling to actually create a free ad trier streaming music access to compete. I am not all that big on Internet radio to be frank, I haven't touch my Pandora account in about 2 years now, so Apple is not offering me anything I do not already have access to between Spotify, Youtube, and the occasionally album I can only find at Rdio only. I am set and happy.

    like why didnt apple give an option to add the mini player to the notification center instead of having just a small player that just gets in the way

    This seems to be the way things are going with Apple now... expect less from updates and read more comments from other users before committing to an update.

    I have just tried to connect my Mac book pro to an LG Plasma TV via an iWires Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable. All I get on my TV is the Mac wallpaper and nothing else. I am missing something really silly, could anyone help please.

    Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
    My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire.

  • HT2792 Just purchased from an airport store the MagSafe Airline Adapter so I could use my MacBook Air on a long haul flight. But, the airline adapter plug doesn't fit the socket. Am I missing something?

    I purchased at the airport last week before a long haul flight the MagSafe Airline Adappter so I couod keep working on the MacBook Air without fear of the battery running out before I had completed the necessary work. The shop assistant assured me the kit worked on all planes but......the socket on the flight, both outbound and inbound, was the normal female 2 pin/3 pin socket that I used to use for my old thinkPad. What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something obvious here
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Hi CaptFred,
    Thanks for taking the time to respond. I understand your point and have indeed separated them. Since sending the message I have visited the Apple Store to check the picture of the accessory in case I was missing something and I wonder if I am missing the 20mm adapter but, over and above that, I just dont see the right size/shape empower port socket in the plane seat, only the traditional 3 pin/2 pin sockets. I wonder if the salesman was selling me a pig in the poke because the Apple Store also says that it fits some commercial airlines whereas the salesman told me it worked in all flights. I suspect I will need to go to the airline companies direct to see which planes have this particualr Empower port. In the meantime I am tempted to ask for my money back. Geoff

  • For the love of Jeebus, please tell me I am missing something with PP's janky audio workflow

    OK, I've read the help docs, gone through the tutorials, watched the videos.  Still I am not finding an efficient workflow for dealing with audio in PP.  Let's face it, audio in 5.5 was completely baffling to us newbies jumping ship from FCP 7, and I thought the CS 6 update was going to simplify things.  No dice.  As I am a somewhat recent transplant, I am willing to admit that…. wait, nay, I'm HOPING that I am probably missing something here and that it's just stupid operator error.  Fingers crossed.
    Here's my situation.  I am editing a documentary that has hundreds of hours of footage and thousands upon thousands of clips.  We are working with three different kinds of audio: stereo, mono 1 & 2 (interviews with a lav mic on channel 1 and boom on channel 2) and mono (interview on channel 1 with lav microphone only).  Here's my problems: 
    If I set the audio so that they're all stereo clips
    Then I'm running into problems with the mono 1 & 2 tracks.  Say the boom audio is better on the right channel, and I want to silence the left.  I turn the left channel off.  Then I want the boom audio to be on both channel's equally… well, I can't figure out a way to do that.  In FCP, I would just put the pan to center, and the audio would play the right channel's audio on both channels equally.  With PP, panning does nothing but adjust how much of the boom is heard, as opposed to how much the lav (now silent) is heard.  I can't find a way to pan the boom to the center, so that it is heard equally on both channels.
    If I set the audio so that they're all mono 1 & 2 clips
    Doing this solves the boom/lav problem as listed above, as the mono tracks seem to center pan and play on both channels equally, so simply deleting the lav works well.  However, now if I have a stereo song that I want to keyframe some fades in (say a music bed playing in the background that I want to fade lower when a person starts talking)… now I have to pen tool in keyframes for the left track AND the right track separately, try to get the fades to match on each track, then separately fade the audio back in for each track.  So essentially I've DOUBLED my work  for each of the tracks I've marked this way.
    As a note, I love having found this out the hard way, after editing a 20 minutes interview into bits and pieces scattered across my timeline, and then finding out I should have set the audio to Mono 1 & 2.  Easy enough, I thought, as I went back to the Project window, found the original clip, then went to modify the audio so it would work in my project.  I got the extremely helpful message that "Any changes you have made to the number of clips or the type of those clips will not be reflected in the existing timelines.  Do you want to continue?"  YEAH!  That's super.  You might as well have put "Making this change now will do nothing to help you.  You'll have to go back and edit everything again.  Do you want to continue?"  Great, Adobe, thanks.  Bang up job there.
    I was really happy about not having to transcode in PP like I used to have to do in FCP 7.  That was until I realized how the audio worked, and for the latest scene of this documentary  had to go through every clip/camera download to figure out how the audio had to be set-up before I could start editing.  Transcoding a big job used to take me a day.  Configuring the audio in PP for this one scene took two. 
    I would be the happiest person on the planet to find out that I've been wasting my time and that there is a simple solution for all of this.  Hope someone can point me in the right direction and thanks for any help!

    I'm not suggesting any of this as a model, and your needs are different than mine.
    1) Go to Preferences -> Audio.  Under "Default Audio Tracks", Set "Mono Media: Mono".  Set "Stereo Media: Mono"  (Choices from the pull-down for both are Use File, Mono, Stereo, 5.1, Adaptive)
    You can change these, but I don't. I am using both mono and stereo tracks. I set up a custom sequence with the particular combination of stereo and mono tracks I want.
    2) Set audio for clips by selecting all clips and going to Modify Clip -> Audio Channels Tab.  Under "Number of Audio Tracks" there should be a "1".  Under Channel Format it should read "Stereo".
    I am not sending the audio to anyone else to edit further. I am doing a final stereo mix. If camera one is set up to record 2 mikes as a stereo track, then I leave that unchanged and put it onto a stereo track. If camera two is set up to record one mike onto channel 1 as ambient sound and channel 2 is a mono feed from a sound board, then I modify those clips as Preset Mono, 2 audio tracks, Channel format Mono, and that puts the left source channel (or whichever I choose) onto Audio track 1, channel 1 (of one), and right source channel onto audio track 2, channel 1.
    4) Delete all the existing audio tracks in the sequence and replace them all with mono tracks, so all tracks in the sequence are mono.
    I modify the tracks while creating the sequence, and ultimately use a custom sequence.
    Under my Effects Controls panel there is only Channel Volume, and nowhere to adjust the pan.
    I'm using the mixer, not the effects control panel.

  • Missing something obvious

    I am using nigpib version 6 with RedHat Linux 6.2. I am having problems talking to my instruments. Two devices a Keithley Multimeter 2001 and an IO TECH dac488hr refuse to communicate. Their remote lights go on but I get an EBUS error when doing ibwrt to either. Two other devices an SRS850 lockin amplifier, and an ESI model 73 precision transformer respond to commands well enough but I get an EAB0 error returned. I recognize the problems have to do with timeout. I have changed ibtmo to various settings but continue to get errors. I have tried to be careful setting the EOS and EOI attributes for each device but clearly I am missing something. Any suggestions?
    In the past I used the LLP gpib driver and don't recall gett
    ing these kinds of problems. I was going to port over my old code to talk with the instruments but I see that there is some rather sigificant differences in the way you do business. For one under LLP Clausi set up a /dev/gpib0/master device through which commands were passed. In addition he had a /etc/gpib.conf file and loaded his module via insmod in rc.d. You, on the other hand, set up /dev/gpib, /dev/gpib0, /dev/gpib1/, /dev/gpib2, /dev/gpib3, /dev/gpibdebug and /dev/dev0 /dev/dev1 etc (where dev# is a device configured with ibconf). What are the relationships between your strategies? What must I do to port my old software to my newer linux OS and use your drivers rather than those from LLP?
    I could really use some insights. Any comments (sans flaming ;-) would be welcome.

    I tried this but with no success. I called the help line and spoke with Ben P. and Armando V. they walked me through the ibic and ibconf tools, again, with no success.
    I spoke with the vendors of the instruments which are giving the EBUS error. They walked me through the setups (especially wrt to EOS and EOI). They were confused as to why the instruments failed to respond.
    With my last call to NI (SR#345883) the engineers suggested that I respond to this email and ask for further support. They requested/suggested I supply the following 3 pieces of information:
    1) revision of boards and part nos.
    2 ATGPIB-TNT boards vintage 1993
    assy 181830-01 REV. D
    1 ATGPIB-TNT PNP vintage 1995
    assy 182885E-01
    The implication was that NI might be able to provide an upgrade to the firmware if that was at fault.
    2) Capture of errors in ibic
    basically following your webpage for ibic works upto communicating with devices. Sample output follows:
    : ibfind gpib0
    id = 0
    gpib0: ibpad 0
    [0100] ( cmpl )
    previous value: 0
    gpib0: ibfind keithley
    id = 1002
    keithley: ibwrt "*IDN?\xA"
    [8100] ( err cmpl )
    <>
    error: EBUS
    count: 0
    keithley: ibrd 100
    [8100] ( err cmpl )
    error: EBUS
    count: 0
    <>
    keithley: ibfind ratio
    id = 1003
    ratio: ibwrt "Ratio 0.1234567\xA"
    [c100] ( err timo cmpl )
    error: EAB0
    count: 16
    <
    the ratio, as verified by the display >>
    ratio: ibrd 100
    [e100] (err timo end cmpl )
    error: EAB0
    count: 17
    52 61 74 69 6f 20 30 2e Ratio 0.
    31 32 33 34 35 36 37 30 12345670
    0a .
    using the SRS850 Lockin Amplifier has an added advantage. It will show the input and output queues on the screen. When I command this instrument I can watch as it receives its instructions. The commands are going through correctly (NOTE: this device also gives an EAB0 error).
    I have tried different cables, different machines, different DMA settings, different interrupts, different instruments, different ibtmo values, different cards, single devices on short cables, but keep getting errors.
    I have used the ibic webpage (setting ibsre 1, etc) and these work fine but the devices still complain.
    3) Give the version of Linux I am using...
    We are running Redhat 6.2, kernel version 2.2. We have older versions of the Linux OS which are running the LLP gpib driver for the SAME devices and it works fine. I would rather not go back to older versions if possible, besides since NI has done the Linux gpib driver, it appears that LLP has dropped support. In particular, I cannot get their drivers to compile in Redhat 6.2 and get no response from my emails. I would be willing to move to newer versions of Linux if that would solve the problem.
    I have confirmed the following:
    The ibtsta program says the driver is installed correctly (run without the gpib cable attached.)
    Interrupts, dma, iports are unique and without contention.
    The gpib card responds to commands (eg using ibic.)
    Some devices respond in a fashion, others fail. But all seem to receive signals from the computer.
    The instruments and cables attached to the system are sound.
    The gpib card, cables, and devices respond correctly from a dual boot machine running WinNT and Linux (i.e. no movement of cables, devices, or cards). On the WinNT side the recently downloaded NI drivers work and I can communicate (with the Keithley 2001) flawlessly.
    I am must now ask whether the driver is at fault. I understand the drivers are beta, but these appear to be the only workable drivers out there. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!

  • FRUSTRATED:Simple Tasks - Am I missing something or does iTunes fall short?

    So last night I became VERY frustrated because I attempted the SIMPLE TASK OF COPYING MP3 files to a flash card and ran into SEVERAL snags...
    I wanted to copy just my MP3 files (not AAC) and ran into the following snags:
    1) I COULD NOT FIND ANY WAY to burn songs or play list to ANYTHING other than CDs and I had way more data to transfer than would fit on a CD. Isn't there ANY WAY to copy songs to a flash drive?
    2) I couldn't find a way to select Full Album from the album list. I just wanted to view "Album View" as to choose from artists and pick an ENTIRE album skip a few pick a few more ENTIRE ALBUMS, skip a few, etc. I could not find a way to select an ENTIRE album from the Album List without selecting EACH song INDIVIDUALLY. It IS the ALBUM LIST chy can't you select an entire ALBUM? Am I missing something?
    3) Then when I tediously selected about 40 albums (song by tedious song) it wouldn't copy them over. Apparently it was too much data to handle. So I had to reselect albums in groups of 10 (song by tedious song). Is it true iTunes can't handle more than a few MB of data at a time?
    4) After this tedious FLASH card backup I synced my iPod and low and behold I couldn't sort by GROUP which is how I classified all my music since A) every time I set a custom GENRE and tags, it would default back to the often WRONG GENREs that Apple had assigned after "GETTING TRACK INFO or ALBUM ARTWORK." Isn't there any way to sort by GROUPS on the iPod? Is there any way to assign CUSTOM GENRES and not have them go back to the default and often wrong default settings that iTunes assigned?
    i think those were ALL SIMPLE TASKS that iTunes SHOULD have been able to accomplish quite easily. But apparently not! If I am missing something, please enlighten me.
    Bonus questions...
    Why does iTunes break up some albums into a few songs at a time and not others? I can't get them back together unless I select COMPILATION, which it might not necessarily qualify as?
    Half of my CDs I copied over to iTunes sound great on the computer but tinny and play through the right speaker only. What settings should I use, because the default ones don't sound good.
    Why does iTunes keep CONSTANTLY interrupting/stalling my computing when it is just copying CDs. I thought the whole point of selecting COPY CD and EJECT in the preferences was to eliminate this. [I'm running on a brand new MacBook Pro with MAXIMUM memory available]
    The icing on the cake is that I couldn't finay ANY MANUALS for iTunes on the APPLE.COM site and only incredibly rudimentary video tutorials that cover little. I also have the official Apple book on iTunes whih doesn't cover ANY of these topics
    Finally , are there any good alternatives to iTunes as a database and e-jukebox?
    THANKS to ANYONE who took the time to read this FRUSTRATING VERBOSE NOTE.

    1) I COULD NOT FIND ANY WAY to burn songs or play list to ANYTHING other than CDs and I had way more data to transfer than would fit on a CD. Isn't there ANY WAY to copy songs to a flash drive?
    Just find the tracks in iTunes, mount the flash drive, and drag the tracks from the iTunes window to the flash drive. Or find them in the iTunes Music folder and drag them to the flash drive.
    2) I couldn't find a way to select Full Album from the album list. I just wanted to view "Album View" as to choose from artists and pick an ENTIRE album skip a few pick a few more ENTIRE ALBUMS, skip a few, etc. I could not find a way to select an ENTIRE album from the Album List without selecting EACH song INDIVIDUALLY. It IS the ALBUM LIST chy can't you select an entire ALBUM? Am I missing something?
    Turn on the Browser view; View menu -> Show Browser. The you can just click on an artist and then click on the album.
    Why does iTunes break up some albums into a few songs at a time and not others? I can't get them back together unless I select COMPILATION, which it might not necessarily qualify as?
    Make sure that the album titles are exactly the same. Even an extra space will make it a separate album to iTunes.
    The icing on the cake is that I couldn't finay ANY MANUALS for iTunes on the APPLE.COM site and only incredibly rudimentary video tutorials that cover little. I also have the official Apple book on iTunes whih doesn't cover ANY of these topics.

    There are also a number of third-party books on iTunes if you want it all on one place precompiled.

  • Am I missing something when trying to fix a podcast feed issue?

    Hi!
    I've been working on this problem for about a month and I feel like I might be missing something obvious at this point.  So, I post it here in the hopes that one of you might be able to offer a suggestion on how I can fix my dilemma. 
    About a month ago I launched a second podcast on my website (wordpress/blubrry) and set up the 301 redirect as was recommended.  After several weeks the podcast feed wasn't updating on the iTunes directory even though I could see that the 301 redirect was working.  So, a few days ago I decided to go back and just keep things the way they originally were and took out the redirect and disabled my category podcast feed.  On my feed it is back to it's original settings, but iTunes is still not updating the feed after several days.
    Here is information on my podcast:
    House Flipping HQ
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/house-flipping-hq-podcast/id730653890?mt=2
    The feed which was originally confirmed in the email from iTunes when our podcast launched last year was this:
    Dear podcast owner,
    Your podcast, located at http://houseflippinghq.com/feed/podcast/, has been approved. You should expect to see it on the iTunes Store within the next few hours. When it's available, you will be able to access it with the URL below.
    If you go to that feed you should see that it is working correctly.
    I have tried almost every day for the past month to figure out why this isn't working but to no avail.  Is there anything I might be missing or overlooking in my process?  If you have any thoughts they would be most welcome.
    Cheers!
    - Mark

    To check the feed in use: go to the iTunes Store in iTunes itself (not the web page that comes up first from the link - click 'View in iTunes') to the page for your podcast and click the 'Subscribe' button.
    Then go to the 'Podcasts' section to view your podcast: control-click (Mac) or right-click (Windows) on the title of your podcast (left column in 'My Podcasts' view or the main entry in List view) and choose 'Copy podcast URL'.
    If you have the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag in place this will show the feed being redirected to but doesn't prove that the Store has yet updated which it will do the first time it checks the feed after the tag has been inserted.

  • Am I missing something?

    I've been scouring the web for examples of using PHP to
    access data from MYSQL. My issue is there is no real security model
    mentioned accept form weborb. All requests are made via POST to a
    php page, which anyone could make a page and post variables to to
    get data. Am I missing something obvious here? How can i secure my
    flex application and the php pages it uses to retrieve and assign
    data?

    I think that i was missing something quite obvious. I was
    assuming that requests were made via POST, instead of RemoteObject,
    which can evoke a php class directly. Even if a user could get to
    the php file via a web browser, they can't evoke a function/method
    in a class. I got Weborb working beautifully to make the connection
    and call the function.
    As a side note, if anyone reading has had trouble getting
    weborb working on an actual server for development, let me tell ya
    that It's much easier to setup a local environment (like MAMP or
    WAMP), get your program running and then transport it to your
    server.
    Also as a side note for anyone trying to make sure weborb is
    secure, AMF (but more specifically the RemoteObject) operates as a
    server call, not a user call. So setting up protection (.htaccess
    or the like) for the entire weborb folder won't break your scrips.
    And won't let anyone go in a play with your configuration either.
    (This is the case even for a non-weborb class)

  • ITunes to iPhone... Playlists only? Am I missing something?

    I haven't had my iPhone for -too- long yet but am just getting into putting music on it... it seems the only way to get music to the iPhone is to sync with a Playlist.... ?!? Is this right?
    I would think I could drag an album, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    Am I missing something here?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Yep you are missing something. I think DJ miss-understood your question; you do not have to have playlists to sync with an iPhone. You need to look at your sync settings, i.e. let iTunes manage your music. You'll also need to make sure that the songs you want synced have the little check mark beside them.
    You also need to look under the song tab when the iPhone is plugged in and be sure all the sync settings are correct.

  • How to upload non iWork files to iCloud...am I missing something?

  • Local View Missing Something

    In ver 7, while in the Local View/Remote View window, I would

    tree (with the + sign) where I can open it up and grab pictures
    from another folder ??? Ver 8 just shows only what is in this Local
    Folder.
    Any help would be great.

    Click on the icon to the far right of the Files panel .. that

    Yeah, Siri - a headline feature on the iPhone 4s page - is beta at the mo.
    But then anyone who's used Macs for a few years will know that most new software is pretty much still in beta when it's released anyway. Only Apple could get away with it and retain customers

  • Data Cable Connector - am I missing something??

    I got home a few hours ago having lashed out £109 on a brand new black ipod nano. I was very pleased when I opened it and one of the first things I noticed was that the data cable didn't have the retention release buttons on the side and was now smaller. I didn't think much of it so I plugged it in, connected it up and away I went.
    When it came to disconnecting however, I thought it would simple slide out, seeing as someone has obviously taken the decision to remove these buttons on the side of the connector. However, it was very tight and I soon realised the only way would be to pull it. I did so very carefully, but even then, part of the bottom of my nano (the black oval shaped section on the bottom) started to come off! This just an hour after bringing home my shiny new nano. What the **** is this all about? Also, upon re-connecting the plug, it now feels 10 times harder to put the cable into the ipod, and I'm worried it will get worse.
    Can someone explain - am I missing something obvious here? And why on earth have the cables been changed?

    I agree that's unrealistically tight. If you have an older connector (even with the retaining clips) you should be able to use it instead. That, or you could return to the store and see if you can get another one. A few tries by a genius and I imagine they'll see your point right away and do what they can to accommodate you.
