To be honest it doesn't really matter what you write here, someone will ridicule you just for the sake of it.
Also, isn't unsane that cool ass noise rock band?

Spotify are very slow in reacting. You only have to look at their forum to see the massive lack of responses to valid queries, such as the idea that the system, even with my Premium membership, will only allow me play songs on shuffle on my phone and keeps asking me to upgrade to premium. I think it may be run by a hardcore cadre of monkeys to be honest.

Well, that is why I'm here after all.
And yes, yes they are. Also, I believe they're Unsane, not The Unsane. But bob will set you straight.

I ****ing love the banter here. When people make fun of me and I make fun of them I feel slightly less dead inside.

Also, I totally forgot I had to explore unsane. Listened a bit to that first album once and man was it dark and raw.

Edit: just download a cracked spotify apk that allows you to pick a track instead of shuffle.

I've always been able to not have shuffle when on Premium. Maybe it's a Spotify England thing, but that doesn't make any sense.

There seems to be a larger percentage now that I can't get there than I can, and some of the stuff that used to be available is no longer there.

98% of everything I've ever search has shown up on Spotify. If you're upset over 2% then nothing will make you happy.

Your phone is broken. Get a new phone. That is a "you" problem.

Same here. Even obscure **** I couldn't find elsewhere is often on Spotify and sometimes not youtube. Sometimes only bandcamp has it but oh well.

It's been asked multiple times on their forum, with multiple absence of any answers, clues or hints. They must know by now it's a problem; they just seem unwilling to bother to fix whatever little bug is in the Android version I guess. Really makes you want to remain a customer of theirs.

Yeah generally if it's not on Spotify it's on Bandcamp. And if you can't find one of the artists who refuse to be on Spotify elsewhere, you're not past 1st grade internet.

I guess I would direct you to Exo's post but you've probably read it already. So this post is pointless.
