Spotify Desktop App Sux

  2. I added a bunch of songs by one artist to my playlist and now each time i play my playlist on shuffle it just puts all of their songs on the top and then the others. I want to listen to other artists and not just them so it makes me quite fustrated bc i don't want to skip all his songs.

The Spotify Linux client has been without a dedicated Linux developer for the past 5 months.

In a post to the Spotify community forum, company rep ‘Jooon’ reveals that: “…since after September, we have had no developers working on the linux client”.

Spotify launched its native Qt-based app for Linux back in 2010 and has kept it up-to-date since, introducing new features and integrating with Linux desktop technologies, like the Ubuntu sound menu.

‘Spotify no longer has any developers working on the Linux client’

But the app looks far less healthy today. With no Linux developer to work on the app bugs and broken features abound.

Asked by a community member what it would take to get a Linux-specific bug prioritised Jooon says:

“Consider [the bug] prioritized. The problem is that nobody is working on Linux specific features, so even though I have now added it to our internal bug tracker of things to fix, nobody is going through that list…”

Yowch — and the situation is unlikely to change soon.

“The [reason for no Linux development effort] is probably based on the number of actual and potential linux users,” Jooon explains.

“But who knows, maybe 2016 will be the year of the Linux desktop”.

Spotify for Linux Shuffles On

It’s not all bad news. Spotify for Linux 1.0.23, which debuted as a beta build late last year, rolls out to all stable channel users this week.

The release gains its stable designation by proxy, as Jooon explains: “There are still lots of problem with [the 1.x] version of the client for linux, but we are now seeing much more problems with the old [0.9.x] client.”

  • Sometimes segfaults when playing local music/streaming music
  • Incorrect package dependencies on non-LTS Ubuntu versions
  • No app menu
  • No tray icon

It Will Continue To Be (Sort Of) Updated

‘New Linux releases will have no Linux specific changes’

Going forward what can we expect from the Spotify desktop app for Linux?

New releases, for one; Spotify still plan to release updated builds of the Linux client going forward.

These new releases will have new features and functionality thanks to the code the app shares with the Mac and Windows builds. But ‘most new Linux releases will have no Linux specific changes‘, concedes Jooon.

Spotify’s rep also says the company do ‘want to fix’ some minor issues, like incorrect MPRIS data being passed to sound applets in GNOME, Unity, Cinnamon, etc, but when this may happen is as-yet unknown.

Bigger issues, like the missing system tray icon, ‘probably won’t’ be tackled.

Amazed We Ever Had It

Spotify’s Linux client was always been a part-time, back-burner project. Its very existence over the past few years was driven solely by Spotify employees working in their own time. It’s hard to see such a great (recognisable, useful) app stagnate but it’s also pretty amazing that ever got it in the first place.

Spotify say not enough users use the client on Linux, and fewer still are premium subscribers. It’s a vicious cycle: without a decent Linux client Linux users won’t pay, but by not paying they there is little justification to create a decent Linux client.

‘There are other options; Ubuntu Phone has an unofficial Spotify app’

Other Options

It’s not all doom and gloom for Spotify fans. Ubuntu Phone has an unofficial Spotify app (for premium users) and the core Music app is to soon leverage the Spotify API too (again, premium only).

Spotify Windows App Vs Desktop App

Other options include the official Spotify Web player, which lets free and premium subscribers stream music through the browser using Flash (no vomiting) and the Windows version can run through WINE (permission to vomit).

If you love using Spotify for Linux let the company know. Hopefully Spotify can find someone to fill the void soon.
