Spotify (on Android) question

Post by run2death »

Recently switched back to Spotify after 3 years on Play Music.

I love it, but the app on my Pixel 2 keeps activating itself when I just want to listen to the desktop app on my MBP. I close the app on my phone, but then it kicks back on a few minutes later.

Anyone else have this problem?

yeah it does this on iphone too. whenever you're playing from one device, the other device acts as a remote control. or, you can press the device icon and seamlessly flip over to listening to your phone. it's pretty much useless for 99.97% of the situations I've seen it.

Why is it so hard to get Spotify to play an album?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It's not hard at all? Just go to the album and press play. It will play right through
