                       Spotify Removes 10,000 Track Limit

   Adam Engst

   Several years ago, library size limitations in Spotify drove me to
   Apple Music ('[1]The 10,000 Track Limit: Why I Switched from Spotify to
   Apple Music,' 30 August 2017). The seemingly arbitrary limitation'it
   wasn't possible to add more than 10,000 tracks to a library'prevented
   me from collecting new music that I enjoyed. I don't particularly like
   Apple Music, which makes discovering new music harder than Spotify did
   (and much harder than the late lamented Rdio'see '[2]Retuning Rdio: Why
   I Dropped Apple Music,' 7 October 2015). But Apple Music's library
   limit is 100,000 tracks, and it works well with my HomePods. One
   obstacle to a return to Spotify just fell'Spotify now allows libraries
   to contain [3]an unlimited number of tracks. In iOS 14, if Apple opens
   up the HomePod to allow third-party music apps like Spotify to
   [4]stream music directly, I might have to give Spotify another look.
