Spotify

Just switches between sabers for me too.

Also, it's a little bit annoying that "zero" isn't at the same starting point due to that the progress bar has to "shrink", leaving space for the saber.

 

IMO it's a pretty major usability thing as 'zero' is now hidden slightly behind the tip, and clicking wrongly just changes the sabre style. I never liked it.

The only option is to abandon streaming services entirely, as a precaution!

@Jay Thanks for the tip, but clicking the lightsaber doesn't turn it off - it just switches between different sabers. I've tried many times. I can live with it.

 

Hmm, I thought I recalled that after the last lightsaber, it reverted to the normal bar.  Maybe they took that out or maybe I'm remembering wrong

I get that it looks neat, so I totally respect anybody who thinks this is a cool feature. I just don't need that kind of branding in spotify and I almost find it invasive in my music experience, when I want to focus on the music from a music fan-perspective, rather than from a Star Wars-fan perspective.

 

I can understand that, but do you sit and stare at the Spotify screen when you listen to the music?

Haha, no…  If I only were to stare at the screen though, I might think it’s a cool, superficial, feature.

 

But sometimes, when looking for a specific cue (or moment in a cue), I jump between tracks quite rapidly and also “scan them” by clicking on the progress bar. Then it’s a bit of a distraction.

I play devil's advocate here - it doesn't really bother me as it only applies to SW,  and I don't listen to that very often.

 

The concept is fun in itself; I just think the execution and how it works with the rest of the interface needed a little more thought.

They should show Pinocchio's growing nose when playing the Pinocchio album.

Anyone wants to pay more for Spotify in order to get lossless audio and AI-generated playlists?

 

Spotify spotted prepping a $19.99/mo ‘Superpremium’ service with lossless audio, AI playlists and more

Does anyone know how the spotify algorithm (or what it is) works and plays random pieces when you have finished playing your album?

I already have AI generated playlists in my normal subscription.  But no, I don't personally care about streaming in lossless instead of lossy

I have no idea, but that's a feature you can turn off.  I always turn it off, because I don't want to hear anything after the album or playlist I'm playing is over.

Ah,I didn't know that. Thanks.

(although sometimes I discover things - good things, I didn't know even existed..)

[Jay 37,373]

Yeah I get why some people like it, I just don't personally need it myself
