Pet Peeves

SPOTIFY just ruined Vaughan-Wiliams's PIANO CONCERTO for me with not one, nor two, but three of its insanely loud, normalized commercials.

Coincidentally, I was listening to Vaughan Wiliams' Sea Symphony conducted by Hickox (the 1989 version) and it was a lower volume. The first commercial nearly blew my ear drums out.

I tried the 7 day trial, which allowed me to listen to albums without shuffle on the app, and obviously without commercials. It was enjoyable, especially for the train ride to and from work, but I don't think I'd use it enough, and I'm cheap. I usually just listen to CDs/ music I've put on iTunes.

Well that has changed recently, then!

Wow, what a stupid feature!!!

It's been that way with the free version since at least sometime last year.

I cancelled my premium membership a few months ago (I just don't use it enough), and part of the 'please don't cancel' blurb said that the free version was shuffle-only. That's just plain lying - it's shuffle-only on mobile.

Not the only peeve I have with Spotify - the 'hide unplayable' tracks option is a very sneaky way of hiding when they lose an agreement with a label.

It's happened. It's done. All JWfan assets have been sold to Spotify for an undisclosed high sum.

Ricard is now a very rich man and Jason is now a company employee, paid a full time salary to push for Spotify's services to be used by all board members.

Soon, all members will need to log in to JWfan with their Spotify accounts and all your music listening habits will be tracked so that the company can sell more effective advertising of its artists.

Wojo changed his name in my honor, in an attempt to shame me which has ridiculously backfired.

That's Wojo? He is still around! That had me confused too.

I couldn't get you to stop even before I changed. It's a shame I'm not a stronger person. Your teasing has led me to gain 75 pounds since Christmas.

We should start up some new Shore threads. Then it won't be long before we have Shore gets a subforum of his own!
