    I haven’t used Spotify, until recently, since it was first released. Its big value over Pandora was that it let you choose what to listen to…when did that change?

    I’m using spotx on Linux so I don’t get ads, can search individual songs, etc. I thought the free tier was just ad supported, I didn’t realize that they didn’t let you pick what you wanted to listen to.

      The desktop application (both Windows and Linux) allows free users to pick tracks. The mobile application does not.

        That makes sense, thanks.

        I use a laptop for a mobile device so I haven’t bothered with the mobile apps yet. It seems like the same kind of client patch could be done with revanced.
