    My favourite example of Spotify being shit is:

    I want to play an album, so I go to it and press play. Then a bit later I want to queue a second album after the first one is done. How do I do that? As far as I can tell the answer is to go fuck myself. I have start a new queue or playlist with both albums in it.

    That’s apart from all the basic software quality stuff like randomly restarting the queue.

    Edit: so now I use finamp with jellyfin, which I can actually fix when it does something I hate.

      The point of these apps is to leech as much money as possible.

      An opposing goal would be to make the app better for users.

      Have you fixed anything when it’s done something you’ve hated? I sometimes think, “I can fix this” and the I let my workarounds last for years. Like a leaky faucet where I fix it by rotating the handle not to 180° but to like 185.

        Yeah, I try to make a point of using free software and contributing where I can. It does have to rise to a certain threshold of annoyance though.
