I listen to Spotify on my work computer. In the last few weeks the fan always spins up when I try to play it, and I’m constantly having to reload the window for it to play anything. Playback will stop in the middle of a song sometimes.

open.spotify.com in Firefox on Windows 10. I disabled ublock. Same issue on work network and home.

    I’m still waiting for them to re-add a scrollbar for the mobile app podcast pages. Reported its disappearance multiple times the last two years, and just get empty answers from Spotify. Relistening to old podcasts is a pain, when having to scroll through hundreds of episodes without a quick scrollbar.

    Yes. Spotify seems to stop playing a podcast when on the website. Although it looks like it’s still playing but the audio stops.

    I can’t install anything on my work laptop so I had to use the website. It’s not great. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were leaving it shitty on purpose so more people will download the app

    I’ve never NOT had an issue with Spotify on desktop. They’re trying way too hard to monitor when and where you’re listening.
