After openly criticizing one of the features of the music streaming app Spotify, British singer Adele, whose new album “30” was released on November 19, won her case. Spotify has changed one of its default features to better respect the work of the singer and artists.
When she sings, there is silence. When she speaks, music streaming platforms take notes. Back with his album 30, British singer Adele recently slammed Spotify. She regretted that the feature of listening to an album is set to random mode by default. In other words, when the user starts playing an album, the songs are automatically played out of order, and not in the order established by the artist.
The end of random mode by default
However, artists take great care in choosing the order of songs on an album. That’s what Adele recalled. And the music streaming application has been attentive to the artist’s arguments. From now on, when you start playing an album, the titles are played, by default, in order. You can always choose random mode, if you prefer.
Spotify regularly updates its services. Last April, the application launched in paid podcasts. Before developing its in-house podcast offer, with the launch in September of 13 new original creations.
