Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Spotify is missing a CRUCIAL feature”.
This video is brought to you by Cali case check the link in the video description to find out more who doesn’t love listening to music, whether it’s through headphones, while working earphones whilst commuting or speakers when you just want to relax. We are in an age where, listening to your favorite, songs has been easier than ever before, with heaps of services to choose from we’re sport for choice. Spotify is by far the largest streaming service, boasting a user base of over a quarter of a billion. The music app has got over half a million downloads on the Google Play Store alone. So you’d expect the most popular music streaming service to be frequently updated with new features. No, that’s not really how it works. In fact, Spotify is notoriously slow at implementing new features and services heck.
It took them almost a decade to drop the 10,000 song library cap, which is a problem that shouldn’t really have been there over the past 3 or 4 years. However, there is one feature: that’s been equal parts missing and important from Spotify for years. Of course, I’m talking about the cloud music locker for the uninitiated, a cloud music Locker is a place where you can upload your own music files for use anywhere in the world. You upload your file to Spotify cloud, it registers as a music track, and then you can play it back.
Just like any other song. You would in your library and I’m sure, you’re all scrambling to your keyboards, but there are millions of tracks on Spotify. Why would anyone need anymore? Well, there are a number of reasons. One. There are weird and out there genres that even a service with the user base of 250 million wouldn’t be able to cover whether that be for licensing reasons, a lack of interest or artists that simply don’t want to join the platform.
My personal experience with this is with logics mixtape stuff from back in the day they used to be able to modify, but for some reason it’s not there anymore, and the same goes for exclusives that go to competing platforms like Apple, music or tidal. I don’t want to have to juggle three or four different music apps. A cloud Locker would fix this by allowing us to purchase albums and upload them to Spotify.
But before we look at the numbers, a quick message from today’s sponsor: don’t let the fun in the Sun cut you off from the rest of the world Kelly case.

If you look at the numbers, Spotify doesn’t even have the largest music library, Apple, music and title both boast larger libraries and don’t have user bases as massive as Spotify.
So and this isn’t just a nitpick from US Android Authority. This is a feature that users have been wanting for a while. In 2019, music streaming services grew 32 percent year-on-year to cross.
The 350 million subscription mark of this Spotify accounted for 31 % impressive until you realize that Apple music is really catching up with 24 percent and in key growth markets like India, YouTube music is shaping up to be one of the most popular music streaming services. If anything, this shows that people are willing to pay for value ads and streaming alone isn’t going to cut it. With the switch from google play music to youtube music, google is bringing along its own cloud locker.
It allows for up to a hundred thousand tracks to be uploaded and synced, and that is not an insignificant number and it’s not just Google Apple music has iTunes Match which will take any track from your offline library and try to match it to the cloud database. If it can’t find it, it will simply upload it to the service and let you stream it from wherever for a service that charges the same as everyone else in the industry. Spotify is really missing out here and they better watch out because they are missing a feature that users really want and that about wraps up today’s video guys, please do check out the link in the video description to Druce full article, which is what this video is Based off of it’s a really good, read or show down there, please do click like and let us know what you think about the Spotify situation in the comments and subscribe if you’re new around here too, never miss a video like this one.
