I don't trust one service to handle my music library (e.g. grooveshark), so i recommend exporting out your spotify playlists
Tool here: http://joellehman.com/playlist/index.html github repo here: https://github.com/jal278/spotify-playlist-export
Add your songs you like to a designated playlist and export it out as a CSV
this way you have a backup of your spotify playlists / songs
This is an updated review to trump my previous one.
After having been a Spotify member for 4+ years, I finally cancelled my account in frustration.
To anyone considering it as their next music streaming service, consider this: while the offer may look decent on the surface, and everything they promise is technically there, the low quality of their software and their absolutely abysmal customer support will ensure that you'll get more frustration than anything else.
What Spotify seem to have been most active doing over the past three years is remove popular features from their clients. Here is just a small, partial list that I compiled, only the features that I personally used a lot as they disappeared at the rate of about one a month:
And that is not even mentioning all the other issues and bugs the clients have. Things that would seem acceptable temporarily for a product that is officially in a beta stage, but somehow remain unfixed in Spotify for years. For example, sharing tracks with members that didn't link their account with Facebook was broken for as long as I was a member (before sharing was removed altogether, of course). The web player still can't handle playlist folders like every other client, which means that it can become unusably slow, and the mobile clients still don't allow you to reorder tracks on playlists. It's completely ridiculous that Spotify don't even manage to keep their clients synchronised in which features they support.
Spotify is also infamous for blatantly ignoring any customer opinions, and happily moving in the opposite direction. Their community forums are a farce, many of the most popular community ideas, pleas and suggestions don't even warrant an official acknowledgement.
I accepted all of that, for the benefit of still having access to the actual streaming library in a somewhat usable way, for many years. What finally did it for me is that instead of just ignoring customers on their forums, they turned to actively fight back against volunteer community support. Some of the features that have been removed from the clients can be worked around, or restored relatively easily if so desired. I made the effort of writing down a few of those recipes and sharing it with other members. The official "thanks" I got from Spotify, for trying to fix some parts of their broken product, and doing the customer support work that they should be doing, was that they started deleting my posts. I couldn't think of any appropriate response to that apart from no longer giving them any of my money. I cancelled my account right after.
I implore you, don't give these people any money. Even if you somehow, barely, could make the service work for you, a company that treats its paying customers this shabbily should simply be left to die.
I been using Spotify for years and will continue using it!
However, the customer service is abysmal! My playlist keep being reported for no reason..
Overall a fan of Spotify, as I have been using this platform since 2017. I enjoy the user-related events they have, such as Spotify Wrapped. Good way to find music with Discover Weekly and New Release Radar.
Only complaint is a new feature called Smart Shuffle, which has no disable feature and comes on at random moments. I wish you could specifically turn it off in Settings to make sure it didn't reappear unless I wanted it to.
The best music service. Huge selection of tracks. I love it.
I literally cannot leave without this app ʚ(´◡`)ɞ
Cancelled my subscription after ~5 years because they made impossible to continue paying them
"If you still want to change your country or region, you need to update your payment method"
"Payment method and country do not match."
