Spotify issues anyone? - CRAZY-HORSE - 05-01-2021
yes ive had Spotify for years but i had issues changing my personal details on it so i deleted it and opened a new account relevent to new phone number etc ..
since reloading the new account everything coincidently runs slower on my Laptop.
i decided to delete Spotify today and my Laptop has returned to its pre-Christmas speeds?
just onwdering if anyone else has had or knows of people with issues like i have explained?
does anyone use another free online app to listen to new music that i could try as im not interested in returning to Spotify.

no issues here

^^No issues for me either. Maybe try Deezer.

i did listen to one album, Barry Gibb & Friends, on Youtube but that was annoying, the full album wasnt on there, had to keep searching the individual tracks
will check out Deezer later today...
okay
thanks peeps
maybe it was a glitch on my end
i did run several virus checks after the fact and they came back 'virus free' so i might just have to grin and bare it in the future

^^
Deezer wouldnt let me look around the website before downloading the app
so i went back to what i am familiar with

Can't help you here CH - don't have any streaming accounts. Use YT mainly.
RE: Spotify issues anyone? - CRAZY-HORSE - 14-01-2021
so i installed the app, run an anti virus scan
listened to an album and turned off my laptop
turned it back on again a while ago and my laptop froze on me.
eventually got it to unfreeze, run another scan and all was okay
but i uninstalled Spotify and everything appears to be working normal again.

Deezer account created...
had a look around it
seems okay
tried listening to a couple of new releases i was not familiar with
ended up with modern r+b, hard rock and a rap crap album...
skimmed through the tracks, nothing i liked and gave up.
i refuse to waste my time with anything i consider crap anymore
would rather not listen to anything that something i get no enjoyment out of! (sorry MH!)
hope Deezer doesnt try to use an algorithm trying to work me out as the system might crash LOL
will persist with Deezer unless it starts slowing down or my laptop freezes...
