Hello,
I posted a while ago on the forum about Spotify alternatives... After a while, I finally broke down and paid for Spotify Premium. Now, I am here to tackle my next challenge. I am sure that many of you are aware that the spotify app and windows/mac apps are not the most accessible; or in the case of the pc/mac apps totally inaccessible. I was just writing to see if we can make this a campaign of the month. I recently contacted Spotify support on the issue of their apps' accessibility, and their response was less than satisfactory to say the least!
iOS and iPadOS

Hi AppleVis people!
I'm just wondering what are people's experiences with spotify on their iDevices? and if it's accessibility has improved any bit?
I signed up for Spotify earlier this year but it simply wasn't accessible enough for me to warrant paying for a premium subscription, and my trial period expired. I know they released a few updates to the app since, so how accessible is the app now?
I would be greatful for any feedback.
Thanks,
Donnacha.

Hello,
Is the latest spotify broken with voiceover or just me?
When I open the app, voiceover doesn’t read anything when swiping.
I reinstalled the app with no luck.
Thanks for your help.

Hello everyone,
After not using spotify premium for half a year or so i reinstalled it on my iphone. I am using ios 6.1 but dont seem able to log into spotify from my idevice.
I have a traditional non facebook spotify account. I can get to a button to login via facebook and next to that there is a text reading something like: if you are already a member login here (i have the dutch version).

Hi. I have just started using the Spotify App on my Iphone 5s. Im able to search for the music that I want, but an unable to play songs. When I double-tap on the song I want, Voiceover says it's selected, but I don't hear anything. I can use the radio feature successfully, so I know it's not an audio issue. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a Sonos speaker and often use Spotify connect to play music on it. However, if I'm listening to something that way and open Spotify on my iPhone, it warns me about the existing session in progress, and when I select it makes the VoiceOver voice go really quiet. (I might have my speaker set to 20-30% or something so guessing that's the volume VoiceOver is using). But this means I can hardly hear what VoiceOver is saying. If I change volume on my iphone it seems to just change the Spotify volume.

So yesterday while waiting for my wife in the truck I plugged my phone into the USB port so I could listen to Spotify over CarPlay. I quickly realized that I couldn’t get into the now playing screen to see the song name, rewind, or fast forward. I could select a song from the playlist and I could hit pause or play and select a device but that was it. I unhooked it from the truck and restarted the app but got the same result. I can still access the controls on my iPad but not on the iPhone.

As of Spotify for iOS v9.0.22 the app appears to be fixed with VoiceOver.
It’s not jumping or skipping anymore. I've tried every test I could think of to break it.
I'm only 1 person of course, please do test when you install the update and let me know if its fixed for you as well?

Hey everyone,
I’m wanting to know a solution to this, because this is rather annoying.
In Spotify, I sometimes want to listen to my own music. However, if I’m with, say, a cousin, who listens to her songs the car, I can’t listen to my songs at the same time,
If I try and listen to my songs, they cut hers out. If she tries to listen to her songs what I’m listening to mine, mine gets cut out.
So is there a setting somewhere to make it so we can simultaneously Listen to music at the same time, or no?
The account has Spotify premium.

Hello!
I was wondering if AppleVis community noticed this news:
Spotify extends its free plan to mobile devices!
The difference from previous plan to this plan, is that:
1. the listeningg limit of 10 hours per month has been removed. Or, at least, in spotify site I found no mention about "10 hours limitation" so I can suppose it no longer exists.
2. on smartphones, such as iPhone or android phones, you cannot search for, or listen to, a single and specific song whenever you wish.

hi all
I have just switched back from android to IOS, and am having an issue with spotify.
In android, when casting audio to a nest audio, which you can also do with an iphone, there was a really cool feature, whereby, when you focused on the song that was playing, and flicked left or right, you could go forward or backward a track, respectively. This was regardless of where in the app you were. I am told by spotify customer care, the feature is available on IOS, but after multiple uninstalls and reinstalls, I just can't seem to get it to work?

Hi,
I'm using an IPhone 5S with the latest version of IOS. I noticed that the available space on my phone was getting less and less. So, I went into the usage section of the settings to see if I could figure out what was taking up the memory. I saw that the free version of spotify that I'm using is taking up almost 800 MB. The app is only about 66 MB and I only have 3 medium size playlists. So I can't figure out why it is taking up so much space. Has anyone else had this issue? And if so how did you resolve it? Any ideas would be appreciated.
TIA

Hello everyone,
I am planning to buy an airplay enabled speaker in the near future for use wih my laptop and my ios devices. I use spotify on my iphone a lot and yesterday i visited a friend who has already gotten airplay working. I could stream from tunein radio pro but in spotify i could not find a button to stream the current track.
Does anyone know if spotify supports this and if it is doable to turn this on with voiceover?
Thanks in advance

Hiya,
Has anyone else noticed that Spotify is broken with VoiceOver, IE it randomly skips songs on its own, or goes back to the previous songs?
I've found that if you add a song to a playlist, it goes absolutely mental.
I've gone over to Apple Music as it’s been nearly 2 months and it’s still broken, if not worse.
Can anyone tell me if you've had the same experience?

Hi all!
I have a strange issue with Spotify. I'm using the latest version of the app and Ios.
The iisue is, I'm trying to play my playlist. I use Premium and am playing it on my echo. My playlist has 939 songs, and when I hit the shuffle/play button, it's only playing 1 block of songs! And when that block ends, it'll either start at the beginning of that block or play another 1 of the 2 or 3 blocks it's playing from. It will pay no other songs.

Has anyone found the last Spotify app update has broken Voice Over functionality, particularly on the home screen?

Hi everyone,
I’m not sure if this is specific to VoiceOver users or not (a quick google suggests perhaps not, but all those results were from months if not years ago) but it does create some issues with VoiceOver anyway.

Hey all!
I just heard about the Spotify stations app. I like the whole switch as you swipe thing. But, I do have some questions. I have looked @ the directions on the app entry on here, but I can't get it to work. My questions are:
1. how do you remove artists from stations?
2. how do you add artists 2 a station?

With Spotify’s latest update, can no longer reorder songs in playlists: next to each song, there used to be a Reorder button, which via flicking up/down, the desired song would be reordered within the desired spot within the playlist. Either Spotify did away with the Reorder function, or it’s a voiceover bug, in which the Reorder button isn’t seen.
Also the bug of when adding music to a playlist, it won't add it at the end as default, rather in the middle of the playlist!
