I am switching from the default music player on my iPhone to using Spotify to play music. The recent updates have meant that I can't use the music player in the same as I used to and I much prefer Spotify in general.I still want to use iTunes on my Mac to organise playlists. What I need to set up is essentially a reverse smart playlist. I have 2000 songs in my iTunes library but I only want 500 of those on my phone. Is there a way to have the songs that get put into my smart playlist (that gets synced to my phone) getting automatically copied into a folder in Finder and have that as the 'Local File Source' in Spotify? Or would I just have to do this manually? Hopefully that makes sense, and any kind of help would be awesome! Thanks

I don't want to open spotify app every time to like the song i'm listening. I'd like to just press a global shortcut button to like current song while working in another app. Is there way to do it?

I have been using Apple Music from day 1, but I'm disappointed and want to move back to Spotify. Is there any way at all to easily replicate or move my entire library from Apple Music to Spotify? All solutions I encountered by searching the internet only work the other way around.

There is a junkyard bunch of your “liked” songs in Spotify, but what good is that if you can’t listen to, say, all your Michael Jackson records you liked!? There is even a fake “liked songs” button which, oops, by mere happenstance is named the same as the liked songs (the thousands songs junkyard of yours) that you actually liked. That fake liked songs button inside any artist will show basically _popular_ songs of that artist, songs that are _generally liked_ but you may have never even heard of let alone liked or like. There is no “[my] liked songs” or “[my] liked albums” within which you would also be able to list “[your] liked songs” and the same is true for artists. We need “list liked” button inside every category, or a “hide [those not yet] liked”. **Is there a jailbreak tweak to achieve either or both of these on iOS 14.3?**

I sometimes have the problem that my macbook won't sleep, even with the lid closed. After some investigation I tracked the problem down to Spotify app; when the app is open, even if no song is playing, my macbook won't go to sleep and eventually go out of battery power. I don't have need of spotify keeping my mac awake (for obvious reason I'm ok with a video player or a game instead); is there a way to ignore its request for preventing sleep without affecting other applications? I know I could quit spotify when not using it, but I am prone to forget it and it's very annoying to find my mac completely drained... EDIT: to be clearer, I am not looking for a solution about Spotify specifically (I could simply uninstall it and forget about it), I am just looking for an option which is the default in both Linux and Windows, that is that the user always overrides any setting when he/she closes the lid.

Occasionally when I open the control center on my iPhone I notice that the speaker volume was set to 100%, or I'll be in public and I play a video or something and it blasts at max volume which is very annoying. I didn't do this; I suspect something is messing with the volume but I don't know what. I always keep the speaker volume all the way down. Here are my suspicions: - It seems to only happen when I'm using a bluetooth headset (AirPods) and I swap between different devices (iPhone and MacBook). - I mostly listen to Spotify. - An example: I'm listening to Spotify on my MacBook through AirPods meanwhile I'm doing something on my phone, then randomly I see the volume control slide in from the side at 100% as if I had pressed the volume up button. - The volume buttons on the side of my phone aren't broken. I really don't think this is the issue. I think Spotify might be hijacking the iPhone volume control when listening across different devices. If so, why is it doing this and can I stop it from doing that? Is there a permission or something I can revoke to prevent Spotify from doing that? iPhone 11, iOS 15.1

I want to map my mouse button 5 such that option + button 5 skips to the next track if pressed once, and if held down it continuously skips forward by 10 seconds. I've added the following rule to Karabiner:

{
  "title": "Mouse Button Remapping",
  "rules": [
    {
      "description": "Maps option + button 5 to next track",
      "manipulators": [
        {
          "type": "basic",
          "from": {
            "pointing_button": "button5",
            "modifiers": {
              "mandatory": [
                "option"
              ]
            }
          },
          "to_if_alone": [
            {
              "key_code": "rewind"
            }
          ],
          "to_if_held_down": [
            {
              "shell_command": "osascript -e 'tell application \"Spotify\" to player position' | awk '{ print $1 - 10 }' | xargs -I {} osascript -e 'tell application \"Spotify\" to set player position to {}'",
              "repeat": true
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

For some reason though, when I hold down option + button 5, the track will skip forward 10 seconds just *once*. The weird thing is, if I replace the shell_command in the to_if_held_down block to just be "key_code" : "rewind", then a *ton* of rewind events are sent to Spotify. Is there a configuration option I'm missing? FWIW I'm also running bearded spice such that all media key events are sent solely to Spotify.

Is it possible to set Spotify as the default program when the "media" keys (play, pause, previous, next, etc) are pressed on the Mac keyboard? For the most part when Spotify is open, the "media" keys work fine. But every once and a while iTunes will pop up when you hit them. It'd be a lot nicer if you could just specify that Spotify is the default program when these keys are triggered, as oppose to iTunes. If it matters, I'm using Mountain Lion.

If I use Spotify in Offline Mode on my iPad, I need to go online within 30 days or I will lose the offline songs. But do I need to open the spotify app when the device does have internet connection, or can I just leave it close, and it will automatically inform the server? In other words, do I need to take care about it and open the app when I do have connection, or this is done silently in background as soon as I connect to the internet (even with the app close) ?

Is there any trick to use the Desktop version of Spotify’s browser-based web player on an iOS device (e.g. iPhone)? On a Mac you can access it for instance using Chrome at open.spotify.com/browse. On the iPhone however you'll always get an "Unsupported Browser" warning regardless on whether you try Chrome, Firefox or Opera. According to my knowledge iOS is forcing those browsers to use Apple’s Web Kit, which is probably the reason for the incompatibility, due to the fact that Spotify has dropped Safari support long time ago. Explicitly requesting the Desktop view via iOS’ share sheet (or using the Puffin web browser) gives you a slightly wider layout, but there’s still no login option and no full-fledged web player. So the question is, whether there is any workaround!? Preferably with included support for uBlock Origin... ;)

Can i use my normal (on the website created) Spotify Premium Account on the iPhone or do I have to purchase Premium on iTunes/the Appstore ?

I've had the (mis)fortune to get a new work laptop with the O' so great Touch Bar which I so immensely hate and have changed the Touch Bar to display F-keys. However one thing I do miss is my global Media Keys. I'm primarily listen to Spotify and I know it has shortcuts but that requires me to make the Spotify window active which it rarely is. I've looked into both Google and the shortcut options Apple provides me and I have yet to find a way to set up a _global shortcut for the Media Keys (Next, Prev. Play/Pause)_ Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It's the only one marked iOS, and I'm not sure what that means in the context of an M1 MacOS system.

I use MTMR (My TouchBar My rules). I want create a script to set a like to track at Spotify.

tell application "Spotify"
  ...?
end tell

How can I set like to current track?

In my storage settings I can see Spotify is taking up around 30gigs of space. Click for full size But… I‘ve already dumped the cache and removed any downloads. Is Spotify lying or is iOS? Anyone know how to solve this problem? For reference I’m on 15.3.1 on an iPhone 12 Pro.

My Mac is Macbook Air M1 2020. Now I use Mac OS Monterey 12.0.1. Sometimes I experience rattling in the speakers. Specifically, rattling is easy to hear while listening to "Paris by $uicideboy$" on Spotify and other tracks with similar sounds. Is there a way to fix this?

When I open lid after sleep my security tool warns me that new process is asking for microphone access. However, there is no log in the macOS Security & Privacy. The helper tool I use is caller "OVERSIGHT" (from malware researcher) and I have been using it for the past 3 years without any issue. Is there a loophole in the microphone access? Using macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 I haven't updated the tool. Spotify does upgrades on background.

I tried to download Spotify on my iPhone but unfortunately, I can't find the on the App Store, So, I did some search on Google and I found that I have to make sure that my country is allowed I searched for my country on the official website and fortunately, my country "Morocco" exists on the list, but no result on the App Store, any solution?

As mentioned in heading, can I listen to music through my headphones by using USB-C with jack adapter on Macbook PRO?? https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-CONMDEX-Converter-Compatible-Essential/dp/B07DXP213B/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1546864073&sr=8-14&keywords=usb-c+jack

Lately, I keep getting kernel panics, with the report indicating that the culprit is the Spotify desktop app. I'm on a 2014 iMac, with huge amounts of RAM and free space, and I've done a hardware test and found nothing. Today, I reinstalled the Spotify desktop app, but that didn't help. (If anything, the kernel panics now seem more frequent.) I did find some old posts about Kernel panics from Spotify, and that Apple was working on a solution, but clearly whatever they cooked up didn't work. Is there anything else I might try? EDIT: Here is the log I get after restart. As discussed above, it does not show up anywhere under /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports, merely in the "Your computer restarted because of a problem" report right after I turn the machine back on. panic(cpu 1 caller 0xffffff801251264a): "Invalid waitq: 0"@/AppleInternal/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/xnu/xnu-7195.81.3/osfmk/kern/waitq.c:5581 Backtrace (CPU 1), Frame : Return Address 0xffffffa0af17b6a0 : 0xffffff80124bab4d 0xffffffa0af17b6f0 : 0xffffff80125fd7e3 0xffffffa0af17b730 : 0xffffff80125ede1a 0xffffffa0af17b780 : 0xffffff801245fa2f 0xffffffa0af17b7a0 : 0xffffff80124ba3ed 0xffffffa0af17b8c0 : 0xffffff80124ba6d8 0xffffffa0af17b930 : 0xffffff8012cbef9a 0xffffffa0af17b9a0 : 0xffffff801251264a 0xffffffa0af17b9e0 : 0xffffff8012a1818c 0xffffffa0af17ba70 : 0xffffff8012a1ec4f 0xffffffa0af17bab0 : 0xffffff8012a30ad1 0xffffffa0af17bc20 : 0xffffff8012a38f8e 0xffffffa0af17bca0 : 0xffffff8012a383d1 0xffffffa0af17bf40 : 0xffffff8012b698cb 0xffffffa0af17bfa0 : 0xffffff80124601f6 Process name corresponding to current thread: Spotify Mac OS version: 20D91 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 20.3.0: Thu Jan 21 00:07:06 PST 2021;
