What have they done to Spotify? I put it on just now for the first time in a while, and it's got this 'social' stuff on it, and seems to be stuck on some perpetual 'Loading People' thing. I just want to listen to some music - I don't want to share it on facebook! "Spotify Loves Social" 👿 What does that MEAN? I don't care what my friends are listening to! If I did, I'D ASK THEM! I care even less what music a load of total strangers like! And why's it taking so long to load?! AND NOW IT WON'T SHUT DOWN!

Isn't it annoying when improvements make things worse?

So, you want creative people to come up with an idea then stop being creative when it suits you? I bet you like Oasis.

Not really on either count. I wouldn't really care to be honest if the thing worked, that's what's annoying. It just seems to have made it cumbersome. I'm not sure that linking it to facebook is particularly creative, either!

I logged in, told it 'no thanks' to linking to anything

Try the changing settings route

It's working now, I've calmed down a bit. Fair enough - people will find a use for it, or ignore it as you say. I just had a moment of social networking/everything-wants-to-read-my-hard-drive and share it crossness 🙂

I still think it's unnecessary, perhaps I'm lagging behind. Is it for mobiles? Could I stream music from my pc to my phone (if I had a suitable phone)? Is it for the 'cloud'?
