Snob20866yI'm glad that I don't need to store so many songs.. Why not just keep the registered address when you move? Doesn't have an impact on listening to music or payment..
I use Spotify for I believe 6 years now or longer and I never really experienced something that upset me. Not even the app getting slower. 'Works on my machine' -
Snob20866y@CoffeeNcode Well that's a party killer..
Thanks god I own ... Let's call them "fast devices". -
Snob20866y@CoffeeNcode printers and stuff... Yeah my thoughts are with you. Does your dad provide beer?

Snob20866y@CoffeeNcode You fix something - you drink a bottle ... Nice idea for a drinking game, IT style >_<

I still use Spotify, too. But Google play musoc is the shit. (And you get better YouTube experience) I have 1000s of rare mp3s uploaded that I would've lost through the years if not for Play Music..

I did not believe you so I looked it up and.. well... Wtf?!?!
Even banks allow for a change of address! That must some kind of fucked up DB design.

And once again, Spotify just leaves me speechless.
I guess I don't actually need to talk about this clusterfuck of a mobile app getting more and more slow and unstable with every update. So let's talk about something else.
When I cracked the first limit, I thought it had to be a joke. 9.999 songs can be downloaded at once. But not all on one device. You can download 3.333 songs each to three separate devices - regardless of the fact that there is more than enough space left on the device and you are not even using any other device.
When I read this one [-> https://goo.gl/43YwKm ], I really got angry:
"If you move, or enter the wrong details, you need to create a new account (make sure you cancel the plan on your old account beforehand, and sign out everywhere) and subscribe to Premium for Family on that new account."
I don't even know how to respond to this except with insane wrath.
So now I cracked the next one. My library is full. The maximum number of songs that can be stored in the library is 10.000 and not one more.
If they wanted more money for the additional ressources, I'd even understand that. Yes, the suggestion calculations become more expensive, I do know that. And I would even pay for that. But there is no such option.
Instead, the company is making the most customer hostile decisions I could imagine.
Even though the competition proves that a multiple of such a limit is not a problem at all (Google Music: 50.000 songs / Apple Music: 100.000 songs).
And you have to create a new account when you move? That's hard to beat for impudence, especially wigh regard of the fact that no migration service is provided, so a person like me would spend a long time transferring all the stored music and playlists.
I'm not even sure it's complying with European law not to be able to see your address online, let alone change it.
And all of that because they know they can afford it anyway, since although the competition is a lot better on that score, they simply can't keep up in the matter of spectrum and algorithms.
And if I can only take 70% of my music with me when I change the service, I can just as well delete 3.000 songs from my library and stay with Spotify.
What a fucking wreck. I really don't get it.
