Spotify does not support travel?
(lemm.ee)
I mean fair enough, i use this version of Spotify and don't pay them a single cent: https://bestforandroid.com/apk/spotify-premium-mod-apk/
But if I was a paying customer i would be pretty pissed opening Spotify the first time on my 3 week travels and seeing this crap :-O Funnily there isn't even an option to change the location as suggested. Neither in the modded app nor on spotify.com on FF mobile.
That’s one of the largest downsides imo. People have had their libraries converted and suddenly they don’t have their owned music anymore.
Which downside? What do you mean? Everything I've added to it locally is in its own folder, and it's a copy of the original files.
I think most people that traditionally used iTunes didn’t keep other copies somewhere else, since it was meant to be the music manager for all music, so if it screws up their library they lose their files.
The uploading and syncing local files was (is) already a feature of iTunes Match. Apple Music just expands it to allow it for music they don’t own, however people have had it take their files and relabel them as Apple Music files and then lock them out if they cancel their subscription.
The downside is combining my local music management with their streaming service, I’d rather they were entirely separate with the option of playing local files, as Spotify does. The option to upload files would be fine.
Ahh, I see. Yeah that absolutely shouldn't happen, at least not by default… Though I believe I've added an album that's already in Apple Music once and it also kept the local files. Maybe in those cases it deleted the local files as the disk was getting full to clear up space, or something? Definitely inexcusable though :V
