>The app has become increasingly buggy
They've got some seriously weird bugs going on in the backend with their catalog too. I can open an artist's page and it looks like all the songs I liked are gone. So I add some and then find out I've now got a bunch of doubles. So while I've "liked" one instance of a song, it's not longer the "official" one? Then recently the audio and artwork for one liked song changed to someone else's remix of it!
The original song: https://open.spotify.com/track/6dPgd8QtZKozuh725mZbXw https://open.spotify.com/track/6dPgd8QtZKozuh725mZbXw
The shitty cover or whatever that replaced the original in my liked songs: https://open.spotify.com/track/2dJol6YvFoNs8WMRzn8HEp https://open.spotify.com/track/2dJol6YvFoNs8WMRzn8HEp
It didn't affect just me either, my spouse had the same song swapped in her playlists too. How tf does that even happen?
- danillonunes 4y agoI believe sometimes a song become unavailable for some reason (license issues or whatever) and they replace it with a similar version. Most times it's just the exact same song in a different album, some cases it's a different recording from the same artist, but in the rare cases the algorithm may find a cover version to offer as a suitable replacement. I think the main issue is they don't keep track of the original song that received the like, so when it comes back, it's not restored to your library.
