mr.qs replied on October 26, 2009 16:02 to the problem "The album "Suicidal Final Acts" is not playing the correct music as recorded by At The Gates" in Spotify:

@andres: the weird thing about this particular case is that the two artists are on completely different record labels
why would at the gates' record label even have montecrossa's digital material?

btw, does spotify request corrections to the material from the labels, or is it up to the labels to notice/get notifed by fans?
there's been talk about (for like a year...) a feedback feature on mistagged/corrupt songs, so if spotify is not to make any changes to received material, wouldn't that have to work by requesing corrected material from the label?
or was the whole feedback feature a plate of bullshit and chips?

mr.qs replied on September 11, 2009 14:10 to the question "Wrong titles" in Spotify:

they don't seem to want to do anything about these errors before they get some kind of feedback system up and running
this is of course wise, since it would take a shitton of resources to fix this stuff manually, but that feedback system has been a hideously long time coming

A comment on the problem "Alt+F4 does not quit, it minimizes to tray" in Spotify:

@tenwiseman: perhaps a warning ("really close? ok/cancel") would be prudent when pressing the close button, but minimizing to tray is just wrong - also, i wouldn't put a warning on the alt+f4 handling – mr.qs, on September 11, 2009 14:07

mr.qs replied on August 28, 2009 17:52 to the question "Can we have old albums and classics over new artists?" in Spotify:

heavily seconded - what's the point in having death when there's no human :(

a personal example of mine (granted not exactly classic i suppose) would be kumikameli; a band with a career spanning over 20 years, having released a throng of stuff and all i can find in spotify is 1 album

mr.qs replied on August 28, 2009 17:48 to the problem "Why do you keep changing song names that is right?" in Spotify:

they've been talking about a feedback feature to fix mistagging for like half a year

personally, i don't mind that much if a song title is missing an aposthrophe or something, but i do mind when a song title is completely wrong (song are in the wrong order on albums), which happens quite a lot

mr.qs replied on July 21, 2009 11:54 to the idea "Match the music adverts to what is being played" in Spotify:

really longing for this at the moment, having just had an advert of shakira whilst listening to nile...

A comment on the idea "Mute should pause music, not only commercials" in Spotify:

they won't interfere with anything if they're customizable
pausing on mute is completely illogical - muting has had a certain meaning for a few of decades now, and pausing isn't a part of it – mr.qs, on July 03, 2009 10:08

mr.qs replied on June 29, 2009 09:51 to the idea "Add an option to deactivate audio-tips." in Spotify:

having the tips about newest features is something that should imo be in the "home" view of the client, not as an ad

A comment on the question "Why was Spotify so hard to join if you want my money?" in Spotify:

any idea how long the invite system will be in place?
i know it's off in the uk already, but what about the rest of the globe - or the countries it's available in anyway?
will it be a gradual freeing (country by country) ? – mr.qs, on June 26, 2009 16:28

mr.qs gave praise in Spotify on June 25, 2009 12:25:

spotify ad - "old forgotten classics"

there's no such thing as a "forgotten classic", those words are mutually exclusive

A comment on the question "Invitations" in Spotify:

i wouldn't know, but i've been using the free variant of spotify for about half a year now and have yet to receive any invitations to send – mr.qs, on June 25, 2009 12:22

mr.qs replied on June 25, 2009 12:16 to the question "Invitations" in Spotify:

afaik you have to be a premium user to get invitations to send

ever since the introduction of the metal light pole to replace the wooden, the local woodpecker societies have been suffering from rapidly increasing migraine attacks

that's just gross, wtf!
