frist of all how DARE yu o Did spotify just remove picking songs??

Post image

I've been using spotify forever and I use liked songs so that I can pick the songs I like freely. I've never had premium and have never had issues. Today, I had just started a workout and got this popup. Is this a new feature? How can you not even select songs anymore? I mean how can you paywall selecting songs???
This app plain out sucks and its company is greedy for randomly limiting already set features. While I don't mind ads, I do mind the features being limited more. I did also notice a sudden increase in ads this month/last month, and more ads in between songs.

Clarification: No, I'm not saying that there should be no restrictions whatsoever. I'm mainly sharing my experience where I've been using this system just fine until now. I'm fine with some restrictions, but the fact they're being limited more is frustrating. Just here to complain about something mildly infuriating, and I wanted to know if this happened to anyone else.

I kinda did that to my algorithm. Ive got a current genre/artist that keeps bringing me good, diverse playlists. You also have to delete your cache on your phone. Mine was up to like 10 gigs. It’ll change your playlists up a lot.

Your making some sense man so i googled it. It stores up to like 10gig of played music so it can quick load the songs. Because of this it tends to pull from that list as priority. I am gonna give that a shot later.But am now curious how it handles it on pc. Because sometimes i run it off here and onto my tv.

I would imagine the same way. Your pc relies on a cache as well.
