Well, and more over after my previous revisited reply:

I hate Spotify, it's  such an elevator background music service. I don't like the way it enforces you to discover music.

And.. I don't like music app to use GBs of memory because it's crappy code at the end. My own audio player I coded recently is 500kB in size as executable and while decoding 320kB mp3s and high quality flacs it never goes beyond 80MB RAM usage in total. 

People forgot how to code products that are technically excellent these days... all is crapware and spyware to survey on your habits to benefit the vendors not your user experience. I rebel against that more and more.

None taken ;) you'll get there!
