Spotify client on Ubuntu has started playing 2-5 ads in a row instead of the 1-2 that it used to be

I joined Spotify around Christmas time and have really enjoyed it. I had Premium for a while but then couldn't afford it any longer, so I had to go back to a free account. Now, I understand that Spotify's free service requires ads, and I'm totally fine with that, but I feel like recently it has gone from playing 1, maybe 2 ads every few songs to 3 - 5 ads in a row every few songs. I'm fine with having 1 - 2 ads every now and again, but having 3-5 ads lasting anywhere from 15-30 seconds each is really annoying. Now, I don't have screenshots of the ads back when I had to go back to free, but I do have this one from recently:  They ads are mostly 15 second ones, but I feel like the number has gone up significantly recently and I've had other friends of mine who use free accounts say the same thing. I know I've seen other people reporting this same thing, I'd really like it if you fixed it. PS: Mods, sorry about posting this three times. For whatever reason your site inserted a bunch of random javascript into my post AFTER I had created it (it didn't show up in the editor.) I've switched browsers, so hopefully it won't do that again.

Yes. Here's what you do:
-Go to your First Menu page and scroll down to Settings
-Select Settings
-Select Playback
-Select volume limit
I believe that should allow you to adjust the master volume so your overall sound will be louder when you are using your ipod. Goodluck

  • IPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.

    iPod Shuffle has started playing audio books and podcasts too fast.  What can be done?

    Some other iPods (that are not shuffles) have an onboard setting to change the playback speed for some types of iTunes media, such as audiobooks.  But a shuffle has no screen, to change such settings.
    First, do this to reset the shuffle, if you have not already
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore on the shuffle.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  The shuffle will be like it was when new, so this problem should be fixed.

  • My phone has started playing music when it connects to Bluetooth in my car. How do I stop it?

    With this last update, my iphone5 starts playing music every time it connects via Bluetooth in my car. I close the app but when I hang up from a call, the music starts again.  How do I turn this feature off?

    The iphone starts playing music automatically when it connects to either of the car stereos via bluetooth and I don't want it to as it drains the phone battery. This is particularly annoying on the ford as the car stereo doesn't even support streaming music!
    I don't want to lose the bluetooth connection as I need to make phone calls.
    Does anyone know how to switch off the automatic start for the music without losing the bluetooth connection?

    I can try, but I don't understand your problem.
    What device are you using?
    Do they have a Mac or a PC?
    Do they have devices they are using?
    What do you want to access?  Do you want to sync that information you access?

    Sorry.
    The iPhone is of no use until/unless the previous owner removes it from their account.
    You will need to find the prior owner or return the iPhone.

    Subject : Can't buy the gold in crime city HD.
    To whom may concern :
    My name is Mr. Gunawan, now I was playing crime city hd, and I have buy 2 times gold in that game, using the same creadit card.
    but when I want to buy the third times, can't it's said "Please contact itunes support to complete this transaction"
    so I was think may be something wrong with my credit card, and I  direct call my credit card to check to make sure that  I still have limit,
    according to my credit card customer service, everthing is ok, nothing wrong with my payment, the limit is more that enough for the next transaction. 
    I try to buy it again, but still can't and it's said "Please contact itunes support to complete this transaction"
    pls kindly advise. So I can keep continue playing playing crime city hd.
    Best regards,
    Gunawan

    I am just learning Lightroom 5. Noticed very recently that 'Photo is Missing' has come up against virtually all my files over all my folders/subfolders. That said, using Finder on my MAC I can see thumnails of ALL my images which sit within my Pictures Folder. Equallly on my back-up on the Mac's Time Machine all versions of same images are present. Any solutions?

    It means that the photos have been moved or renamed or deleted outside of Lightroom. (Hint: don't do that)
    To fix the problem, please follow these instructions:

  • DVD Player has started playing PAL DVD's on external PAL display very badly

    I have my Early 2006 iMac connected to an external HDTV (Mini-DVI->HDMI)
    Using display options I can switch the external display easily between NTSC and PAL refresh rates.
    It used to be that apple's DVD player could play a PAL dvd just fine on the display but now the frame rate drifts in and out of sync as though it no longer understands that the TV is set to 50hz.
    Although I used to use DVD player all the time I haven't done so for quite some months so I don't know when this started happening although I have a feeling that it was with a recent OS X update.
    I say this because a few months ago all of a sudden the same thing happened with Elgato's EyeTV, but they issued a patch sometime later and it fixed the v-sync issue for their app.
    I'm also wondering if it may be a de-interlacing issue rather than a v-sync issue but I'm not sure, I've tried various DVD's.
    I have tried deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer but this hasn't helped.
    If it's relevant, my iMac has an ATI Radeon X1600
    Any ideas why DVD player has started having trouble with 50hz displays and how I might fix it?
    Failing that, is there a good (hopefully free) dvd player alternative which is better at handing external displays of varying display modes?
    p.s this was the most appropriate forum I could find.

    I suggest that you create 15-second silent audio slug that you can use to move the audio the same amount you have moved the video.

  • My macbook pro has started playing adverts, even when i'm not on safari, what should I do?

    For the past few days my mac has started to play adverts, just the sounds. It usually starts after ive been on the internet for a while, and it won't stop when I close safari. The only way to get it to stop is to shut my mac down completely. I deleted all my cookies and incresed security but that hasn't helped.

    Pull the question marks off the Dock and let go,  drag new icons of the app  down  to the Dock from the Applications folder.
    Try another restart in Recovery command R.
    Run the DiskUtility repair disk and repair permissions

  • ITunes radio starts playing after I check email.  What can I do to stop that from happening.  It is a nuisance to open iTunes and pause the song playing.

    On my iPhone 5c, after I check email or other apps not related to phone use, frequently iTunes radio starts playing.  I have learned to open app and pause the song being played.  Is there a way to not have that happen?

    It's not a good idea to post your email address on public forums, I've asked the hosts to remove them.
    All content is tied to the account that downloaded them, and you can't currently transfer them to a different account. If you don't know the password to that account then you can try getting it reset via this page http://iforgot.apple.com . If you can't get it done that way then you can try getting access to the account by contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page. If you get access to it you can then change the primary email account on it to one that you have access to : http://appleid.apple.com

    hello, im unable to make an icloud account on my iphone, because whenever i make an account, a messege appears that this device has enough accounts so you can not make a new one, so the problem is that i dont konw about the perevious accounts, what should i do to delete pervious accounts and create a new one?

    The problem is that there is a limit for creating new iCloud accounts from a device and if the previous owner already created three accounts with this iPhone you bought from him, then you would have to use another device in order to create a new one.
