What's in the new update? Haven't done it yet.

Spotify has an incredibly limited music library. Licensing rights and hosting expenses make commercial streaming services a failure from the start if you're looking for anything outside of the general sphere of popular song.
Every year or so I connect to Spotify and feed it a number of the artists from my personal music library - artists with 50-300 albums to their name. Each time Spotify has returned only a handful of results. And given the widely-reported user discontent with the service's crippling of their interface, it is unlikely that they will ever win me as a customer.

Does anybody know how to stop Spotify from automatically updating. Every time I downgrade and then close my Spotify, it installs the new update and I have to go downgrade it again. It's fecking annoying. Their new update is a load of balls. The music stutters for me, but the old version doesn't.

Stopping Spotify Updates
Quote:
According to a community discussion on Spotify's user forum - Go to C:/Users/<Name>/Appdata/Roaming/Spotify 1. Make a new empy text file 2. Name it Spotify_new.exe 3. Right click the file and make the file read only 1. Make a new empty text file 2. Name it Spotify_new.exe.sig 3. Right click the file and make the file read only Spotify will not be able to update because it can't delete the files, because they are read only, all future upgrades will fail. Let me know if this works for you.

Dredging this thread up out of the archives to ask: once I've added my own (local) music to Spotify, how can I access it as in search? I can see all the tracks in a list (is it possible to rearrange them by album/artiste etc?) but if I search I just get what Spotify has on its own servers. Some of my albums have specific formats I want to listen to (collectors' editions etc) so how do I access them?
Thanks TH
